My son used to compose better songs than Sheeran when he was eight. And his songs were mainly about farts.

Your son probably wrote better songs than James Blunt too then! 😂 But at least Blunt is very funny and knows his limitations.

Tess Daly-No talent whatsoever.Very wooden.
Denise "Sobriety" "Depression" Welch

Oh God, yes - TOTALLY agree on these two!

Sundaycrunch · 06/07/2025 20:54

I can't stand Iain Stirling. Irritating and unfunny.

Itsallsostressful · 06/07/2025 20:54

Oh let me think....
Simon Cowell
Kym Marsh
Sam Smith

Completely agree re Tom Daley, really, really don't like him.

A personal one from me would be Caroline (I think) Hirons - the make up person - just can't stand her. She is also starting to look very much like an older version of Kerry Katona which is just weird.

Agree re Caroline Hirons! Goes on about not spending too much on skincare, then brings out a line where the moisturiser costs 72 quid! Also, I hate to say this, but none of those products seem to be doing her any favours.

James Corden.

Vogue Williams.

You see, there are a few people I disliked irrationally but then discovered it wasn’t irrational at all……

J Savile – my father wanted me to write in to Jim’ll Fix It but he gave me the creeps. Even my brother said to me ‘You didn’t like him did you ?’ when Savile was publicly outed. And my brother is one of the least noticing people I know !

Stephen Fry – yuck – pompous prig

Jeremy Beadle – totally justified as not irrational when I met him

Jammy Oliver – he’s another pompous prig and ruined Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader for me

(Hating Piers Morgan is NOT irrational – he’s a total arse)

I’m starting to get confused between rational and irrational….

lifeonmars100 · 06/07/2025 20:56

Come to think of it I hate most of that lot on ITV, always the same, like a washing machine stuck on a spin cycle, Ant and Dec, Lorraine, Alison Hammond, Ben Shepherd, Andy Peters, that Josie one, Mark who does the fashion on Lorraine, the one that does the showbiz gossip. They all think they are something special and they all make out they are best mates with each other but I reckon they all secretly loathe each other! I watch them and wonder if they wake up in the morning and think "oh fuck I've got to go to work and be all hyper cheerful and make out I care about this shit and that I LOVE everyone and really I want to tell them all to drop dead"

ToWhitToWhoo · 06/07/2025 20:56

Novak Djokovic

Tom Cruise

Right at the moment, Rod Stewart because of his pro-Reform comments.

In my much-younger days, there were two whom I REALLY couldn't stand: Donny Osmond and his brother, little Jimmy Osmond. Haven't seen/ heard them in years, however.

StHilarion · 06/07/2025 20:53

Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brian Cox, Celine Dion, the cleaning lady that recently passed away, James Martin. Tommy and Martin from homes under the hammer plus plenty more

Are we now up to 5 of us who irrationally dislike Tom Hanks? I've never come across anyone else who dislikes him before, and now several all in one thread.

HarryGrotter · 06/07/2025 20:56

Where to start!
ant and dec, holly willoughby, keith lemon, davina McCall, fearne cotton, david walliams, liam neeson, james corden, rob brydon, russell howard phew I think that might be all

SpiceGhoul · 06/07/2025 20:56

Nicolas Cage, just something about him. Can't watch anything with him in.

IberianBlackout · 06/07/2025 20:56

100% Taylor Swift. Her voice is nothing special, her lyrics are stuck in high school and her obsessive competitiveness and money grabbing tactics just irk me.

I respect the fact that she’s relentless and very hard working though.

MayaPinion · 06/07/2025 20:34

I’ll probably get taken out the back and shot for this one but Stephen Fry irritates the hell out of me. He comes across as someone who thinks he is right all the time and everyone but him is a peasant and not worth listening to. Severe Main Character Energy.

Stephen Fry is a fool.

A National Grifter.

I can't stand Iain Stirling. Irritating and unfunny.

And his wife
Both give off smug, ‘haven’t I done well’ vibes

MrsPatrickDempsey · 06/07/2025 20:57

Lulu
Not much talent, very full of herself for no reason.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 06/07/2025 20:57

Lorraine Kelly - she doesn't just smile she always has that "I'm in the middle of a big old laugh"
So fake.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 06/07/2025 20:45

Oh I've thought of another one I absolutely irrationally hate - Stephen Mangan! I don’t like his face, voice, acting. He’s done nothing to me and i have no idea why Grin

Oh I really like him.

TheRadiatorLadySings · 06/07/2025 20:58

The Beast from The Chase. Sore loser.

CountryMouse22 · 06/07/2025 20:59

I've got 2...

Cheryl Cole
Tom Daly

I will not be taking any questions on this 🤣

What's wrong with him?

RichardMarxisinnocent · 06/07/2025 19:33

Tom Hanks

I couldn't even tell you why, I just am irrationally irritated when I see him in films (and thus haven't watched many of his at all)

How very dare you!

She was particularly annoying at Glastonbury

Fiona Bruce

The oozing smugness of her. "Yes I am speaking to you (crinkles nose), aren't you all incredibly lucky"

Totally ruined antiques roadshow and question time. I cannot forgive

I thought I was on my own with this one. Totally agree!! Used to love the Antiques Road Show!
