Maybe they aren’t great at acting, maybe you love them for nostalgic reasons or because they seem like a great person IRL!

GretaGip · 08/07/2025 00:24

Hannah Fry. I think she just has a lovely way about her, her enthusiasm is very endearing.

KimberleyClark · 08/07/2025 00:27

Chris McCausland, He’s just lovely.

Big Dan Snow and Lovely Ben Fogle

And the Winkleman! Who seems to be marmite but she really makes me laugh

stonebrambleboy · 08/07/2025 00:36

Bob Mortimer.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 08/07/2025 00:37

Bob Mortimer, Lee Mack, David Mitchell. Guess what I have been watching lots of recently

justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 08/07/2025 00:38

Jo whiley-I'm sure we'd be besties if we ever met.

Agreed plus Victoria Coren Mitchell as well.

The one that surprises me the most is Jane McDonald 🫣. She just seems to embrace the naffness that surrounds her and I respect that.

Shatteredallthetimelately · 08/07/2025 00:42

Tom Read Wilson.
Bob Mortimer.

I’ve got a weird soft spot for some reason for Barry Gibb. He was so surprised at how popular he was at Glastonbury.

Ponoka7 · 08/07/2025 00:44

Amanda Holden, me and my youngest bonded watching 'wild at heart'.
Christopher Eccleston, I've seen him in theatre productions, as well as on the telly.
Steve Mcfadden (Phil Mitchel).

Big Zuu - something about him just cheers me up when I see him.

And his reaction when he scored in Soccer Aid was the best.

ohfourfoxache · 08/07/2025 00:50

Michael Sheen - absolutely adore him

Donotgiveashit · 08/07/2025 00:53

Clive Myrie the BBC newsreader and war correspondent. He just comes across as a lovely,calm professional guy .

Oh yes. And I love(d) Kate Adie. Love Orla Guerin and Lyse Doucet.

Probably a few marmite names here,
Claudia Winkleman
David Mitchell
Victoria Coren Mitchell
Greg Davies
Diane Morgan
Anna Maxwell Martin
Ruby Wax
Bob Mortimer
Lucy Worsley
David Olusoga
Emma Dabiri
Philip Mould
Ardal O’Hanlon
Johnny Vegas
Rhod Gilbert
Judy Love
Gordon Ramsay

Any of the above are a guaranteed watch for me when on the tellybox. Considering how many “celebs” make me change channel when they pop up on the screen this is quite a long list.

DoingthefullGareth · 08/07/2025 01:37

Ruth Jones
Nile Rodgers

MsNevermore · 08/07/2025 01:43

Dolly Parton.

I’m a little bit obsessed 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Shes one of the best selling artists on the planet, worth millions upon millions of dollars…..and what’s she doing with that money?
Dishing out free books to children, giving those children free entry to her theme parks and free child places for stays at the park resorts.
Every month, my youngest runs to the mail box with glee asking if there a book from Dolly 😂😂🙌🏻

Jason Orange.. I often picture him practicing his breakdancing all alone in his mansion.. Sad that Robbie pushed him out of the band and now he’s all alone and wishing he had a lovely woman to making him lovely Greek god salads and ride him until he feels better. Hahah Jokes but yeah, Jason Orange.

JMSA · 08/07/2025 03:31

Russell Howard, the comedian. He just comes across as a really nice guy.

Paolo Nutini as he’s a family friend.

Jonny Vegas because he’s apparently the nicest comedian on the circuit (or so says a friend’s husband whose job it is to book the acts!).
The worst may well surprise you! …

Minimili · 08/07/2025 03:38

Stephen Merchant!

DeniseSecunda1 · 08/07/2025 06:05

Tom Cruise, for sure.
