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".

Laurence Fox - hateful fascist twat
Robbie Williams - overgrown man child. His poncing about on social media whilst his wife was in labour was fucking awful...
Owen Jones - misogynistic prick (I suspect I'm not his type though, so that works out fine Grin)

Tom Cruise. I actually enjoy him on screen but suspect he’s got no off button in real life.

He'd be jumping on the sofas all the time.

Any of them who do impressions of other celebrities. Showing my age here, but the Mike Yarwood show when I was a child irritated the hell out of me. He was shite.

And that bit at the end when he'd say "And this .... is me!" Wow, really, never would have guessed that! And then he'd stand there and sing "You are the sunshine of my life". Oh just piss off, Mike.

Les Dennis used to do stupid impersonations too. Attention seeking twats.

Slightly more current one, yup, Tom Cruise. You'd need to put a cover over him to stop him talking, like my Nana used to do with her budgie at night.

"Oh just piss off, Mike".

I think he took your advice - he's dead.

I think that to survive as a celebrity in the sense of keeping up your public profile, getting work be it acting, singing, being in reality show crap, or all that endless podcasting you must have a sizable ego and a towering sense of self importance. I reckon that the majority of them must be , quite challenging to live with.

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

I know someone who worked on the Coast programmes with Neil Oliver, says he has gone totally crazy over the years as evidenced by his stuff on GB News

Brian May. Granted you’d be married to a very interesting man, but how many times would you be thinking “Christ Brian, just strum the guitar like a normal human and get off yet another sodding roof”.

I would be sneaking my nail scissors into bed and snipping off a bit of hair every night while he slept. Probably take a while but eventually he would have a proper haircut. I would save the hair and use it to stuff a cushion to sell on eBay. For charity.

True enough, I hadn't quite considered that! I feel a bit guilty now. Sorry Mike 😞

Do you keep a courgette in your pocket?

Missed it first time round!

JIC someone's not already said this, someone one posted on here about seeing James Corden being incredibly tolerant of the crying baby and tantruming toddler that he'd been seated next to - just calmly plugging in his headphones, zoning out and not making a fuss at all while their mother frantically tried to calm the kids down . When they landed he got his overhead luggage and made for passport control. It was only when she caught up with him there a bit later she realised that the woman was his wife.

MrsMoastyToasty · 18/05/2025 18:05

Ray Mears. I would always be worried that he would cook me and eat me if we got stranded somewhere.

This made me laugh. My daughter’s BF does exactly this. 4am and 8pm, and it does piss her off. 😤

Unless you work early shifts or have very young children, it seems so silly because you could do all the same things in a 6am - 10pm day but be able to go out for dinner etc and not have a toddler bedtime!

Amberlynnswashcloth · 18/05/2025 18:19

Another one for Russel Brand. Always talking in riddles and the conspiracy and paranoid talk would make me feel like an in-patient in my own home.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 18/05/2025 18:22

@thestudio I mentioned that early in the thread but didn’t have the full story!!

lobeydosser · 18/05/2025 16:11

@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?!😉

That voice…

Laurence Fox - hateful fascist twat

This is a popular view imo: in another corner of the internet is a board with a long-running thread titled "Lawrence Fox - the twat" @Dustmylemonlies .

He really is an odious piece of shit and I feel sorry for Billie Piper. She must have been having some sort of mental health episode when she married him, and is probably embarrassed about it even now.

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

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

Oh! My husband also shouts ‘GORDON’S ALIVE’ in Blessedesque style whenever it pops into his head. Extremely annoying. Especially as I have never seen the film and have no intention of watching it.

RobertaFirmino · 18/05/2025 18:50

The Prince of Wales. I really don't fancy having to do all that pegging malarkey.

ToWhitToWhoo · 18/05/2025 18:58

BobbyBiscuits · 18/05/2025 17:14

Simon Cowell
Gregggggg Wallace
Geri Halliwell
P Diddy
Russell Brand
Meghan Markle
Fergie/Prince Andrew
The girl who just got nicked for smuggling puff into Georgia
The guy who invented 'Mewing'
Elon Musk
Donald Trump
Liz Truss

Oh yes- especially the last three!

And I also agree with those who mentioned Laurence Fox.

Does he also do I'VE BEEN GOOSED

I actually have no idea where those quotes are from but I think Brian would be pretty intolerable as a husband 🤣

Andoutcomethewolves · 18/05/2025 19:03

I think Justin Timberlake would maybe be a loving boyfriend when you're together but that break up video he did about Britney was creepy as feck

KTSl1964 · 18/05/2025 19:08

Jeremy bloody Clarkson.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 18/05/2025 19:13

I absolutely love Michael Ball but think he'd been far too cheery and enthusiastic for me irl. Always telling stories and breaking into song!

I think I would love this. I am married to the anti-Michael Ball and would dearly love some enthusiastic cheerfulness and song-singing. Could also happily put up with some Tom Cruise cheery positivity, but not all the weird Scientology crap.

I would hate to be married to Prince Harry. Vindictive, unpleasant, bad tempered and entitled. No ta.

KTSl1964 · 18/05/2025 19:08

Jeremy bloody Clarkson.

God can you even imagine.

I accidentally walked past his book signing a few years back and everyone was just swerving to avoid him and his little book stall in one of the busiest tube stations in London. It was quite amusing tbh

He possibly love bombed her and didn't show his true colours until they started to disagree on how to bring up their kids. And she became the more successful actor of the two of them.
