Ben Shepherd for his fake grin and groping female contestants on Tipping Point.

Steve Coogan for speeding at over 97 miles an hour. I don't care how good you are at your job. You could destroy multiple people's lives forever if you cause an accident.

Rob Brydon, not funny, and gives the vibe he talks to himself in the mirror like a budgie. "Who's a clever boy!".

Bill Murray. Another one who's handsy with women and a thoroughly unpleasant man, to the point of people choosing to leave a film set rather than work with him.

Female comedians (three in particular) who have made their sex lives and body parts everyone else's business, not just at their gigs, but on talk/panel shows. Is it me who's a prude? Do I have to hear 'vag' a certain number of times, like Candyman, and then I'lI get why it's funny?

I’ve never understood why people find him funny. He just leaves me cold. Your comment about talking to himself in the mirror has just made me spit my cornflakes !!😂

I agree re Olivia Coleman - I think she’s seriously overrated as an actress-she was in some ages ago called The Thirteenth Tale - dreadful acting!

HLL80 · 07/07/2025 07:30

David Jason for me. Can’t stand him, I always get the impression that he’s one of those “don’t you know who I am?” types.

Rosscameasdoody · 07/07/2025 07:32

Another one is Michael McIntyre (the comedian) - he reminds me so much of a dickhead first boyfriend.

That skipping across the stage thing really irks me. Wish someone backstage would put a foot out from behind the curtain and trip him up !!

Martine McCutcheom , I think she’s why I don’t like Love Actually

David Walliams

Nick Knowles

Stacey Solomon

Amanda Holden

Rylan

Ant & Dec

Amanda Holden - annoying fake laugh
Joe Lycett
Peter Mandlesson - gives off sinister vibes
Katie ‘super smug’ Hopkins
David Walliams

Rachel Riley, she lied tremendously and kept her job

Lorraine Kelly. The tax avoidance scam of saying she’s playing a character and Lorraine isn’t her is an unbelievable brass neck.

Oh my god!! Is that true?! 😲. Totally gone off her!

Alison Hammond - DH and I have decided that we will not be buying our new kitchen from Wren because of her yelling "The Great Wrenovation". I stopped watching Bake-Off because I couldn't stand her yelling.

Allison Hammond winds me up something chronic!!

Ive stopped watching bake off because I just cant stand the woman! Which is a shame because we loved bake off!!

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)

He went to Epstein Island. He’s dodgy

Bringmeahigherlove · 07/07/2025 07:44

Kevin Bacon. I think it’s because of the 02 adverts.

SweetcornFritter · 07/07/2025 07:46

Nicola Walker. She uses the same gulpy mannerisms in everything she acts in, super annoying.

My brother was on her show briefly and he was excited to meet her but doesn't speak well of her now.
Apparently she was quite dismissive of him and had nothing nice to say when they weren't filming.
For the one shot he was in DB had to get some veggies out of a car boot and talk about growing your own ingredients. She had him use her range rover in the shot because his old Toyota wasn't good enough. And it was made clear it was because his car did not portray the right image for someone that grows their own veg.

Show quote history

Wow. I feel vindicated!

Ryan Reynolds (I think that's his name. Was married to Scarlett Johansson, now Blake Lively). His voice makes me irrationally angry!

I always think he is dead behind the eyes. I'm not sure if I've ever seen him act, though!

ElsaSnow · 07/07/2025 07:57

Poobs2022 · 06/07/2025 19:24

Claudia Winkleman. Her fringe and bad makeup annoy me so much.

Agree.

Agreed. She's on it practically every day too. Same old story: She's grumpy 😂
She's been married multiple times 😂😂
She was a boss 🙌🙌
She's a friend of Elton & David (is there any zleb anywhere that isn't 🙄🤔)

RedRec · 07/07/2025 08:09

Just thought of some others.
The ones who make Bolton their whole personality and exaggerate their accent to prove how Bolton they are. Paddy McGuinness, Vernon Kay, Sara Cox. I do have a lot of respect for Peter Kay but haven't seen him in years and think even he might irritate me now if he was around, because of it.

alondonerabroad · 06/07/2025 21:55

Miriam margoyles she’s so desperate to be down with the kids. All that swearing and inappropriate behaviour (“I’m an old lady and can behave as I like”)

omg I’d forgotten Miranda - not funny at all
and Caroline hirons - vile nasty

Caroline 'likes a drink'.

Whatagirlwantswhatagirlneeds · 07/07/2025 08:16

Anna Whitehouse - Gosh her voice is annoying. She’s a radio presenter on Heart but her voice is made for Magic radio (sorry Magic listeners)
I was so glad she wasn’t on last night because I usually have to say SHUT UP when she’s talking. 🫣

beguilingeyes · 07/07/2025 08:17

Jack Whitehall. Proof of the fact that a posh voice and a penis will get you anywhere in this country ( Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg).
Elton John was incredibly kind to a friend of mine.
I know Caroline Hirons IRL. Mean girl.

Kate humble.

Dame Sara Davies

I was going to say The woman from the Omaze ad, whose professionally upbeat chirpy voice is, apparently highly valued by advertiser's as the ideal Every Woman BFF to sell stuff.

But actually, Stacey Dooleys advents are much much more irritating and they devalue the topics she does in documentary. Louis Theroux isn't doing ads for deodorant

The condescending, slow drawling, faux posh woman from the Viking Cruises adverts beats them all hands down. she makes me want to smash the telly.
