To ask which celebrities would be really annoying to be married to?

[drspouse]

Inspired by DS obsession with Steve Backshall.

He would be off round the world "too busy to do childcare darling", would come home reeking of bar poo, and would insist on taking the children to play with venomous snakes "it won't hurt them if they don't bother it".

The only celebrities I'd like to meet are Michael Palin and Chris Hoy

Otherwise, I have zero interest in celebrities

No idea who Steve Backshall is. Better have a look

It is thanks to this thread that I have had a look and now realise that Steve Backshall and Charlie Hamilton James are not the same person and only one of them was married to Philippa Forrester. I always thought I didn't like Steve Backshall, apologies Steve, it wasn't you

In my defence, I always thought Sheryl Crow and Shania Twain were the same person.

James o brien….you would have to agree with everything he uttered.

James O Brien would be a nightmare

Brian Blessed. I wouldn't even want to live in the same street as him. It would just be too noisy (and I lived under the flight path at Heathrow for years so am not unused to noise).

I'M JUST PUTTING THE KETTLE ON, DO YOU WANT A CUP OF TEA?

But on the note of distinctive voices, I'd have James Earl Jones as my granddad (or FIL) any day and he could record birthday greetings, the school bingo calls, my alarm sound, anything really.

I also thought of David Tennant. And Neil Oliver. Self-righteous and insufferable!

@tartyflette Meanwhile his sister seems to be a reasonably nice person, and bright too.

Wonder how annoying she finds it being married to David Mitchell?!😉

Geri Halliwell

Aside from obvious like Laurence Fox?

I would say most of them because cheating, open relationships and/or drugs and excessive drinking are so much common in the industry than in most others, and I have heard first hand gossips about some couples that look like very decent/faithful and turns out they are not. The moral compass is a bit different and it's a very different lifestyle.

That's the Sarah Vine who used to be married to sex God Michael Gove...

Neil Oliver is also mad as a box of frogs.

Jonathan Ross or Alan Titchmarsh. Both instant channel changers for me.

He has weird mummy issues, very off putting.

Apart from one foreign celebrity who no one on here has probably heard of, I wouldn’t want to be married to any of them. They all seem either annoying (the hyper Robbie Williams types), not very mentally stimulating (the Beckham types), sullen (the Harrison Ford types) etc. I often think when I see a celebrity being themselves on TV, I’d hate to be married to him, how does his wife stand him.

Unfortunately my husband is very proud of his Brian Blessed impersonation.

If I never hear GORDON'S ALIVE again I will be very happy

Ryan Reynolds and Chris Pratt.... eurgh

Joe Wicks. Soooo needy. And seems to like his wife to be permanently pregnant whilst also snapping back into shape days after giving birth.

Farage - smoker’s bad breath. He looks letchy and gropey.
Hugh Jackman - all that fucking singing and dancing.
Jamie Oliver
Davina McCall - lovely but it would be like living with a bag of ferrets on speed.
Robert Downey Junior - I love him but I think he’d be EXHAUSTING.
And and Dec - because there’d be two of them and I can just about cope with one.

Seconded, thirded, motion passed.

Gyles Brandreth
Richard Madeley
Keith Lemon or whatever his real name is
Alison Hammond
Lorraine Kelly
Kelly Brook

Greg Wallace.

Jacob Rees Mogg

Steve Backshall is a pretty accomplished guy if you read up on him. Speaks quite a few languages fluently and has achieved a lot. I was surprised when I looked at him on Wikipedia!

I bloody love David Tennant so I’ll take him off your hands.

Agree about Richard Madeley - insufferable bore and Martin Lewis who loves himself.

I’ll add Lee Mack to the list. I don’t think he’d ever let you have the last word and would sulk if you were funnier than him.

That nobber that was married to Billy Piper…Laurence Fox. Vile.
