Celebs you irrationally just love !

[JorgyPorgy]

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

🙄just say who it is, or don't. Hopefully nobody feeds in to your 'oh please please tell us PP, I beg you 🙏 '

Tom Hanks, fuck the rest of them

I’ve got a soft spot for The Hairy Bikers, they are just so gentle and lovely. I was sad when Dave passed away.

Rylan and Nicole Sherzinger. Originally fell for them when watching X factor with DD and they are so life enhancing, always bring the joy.

I met Bob Mortimer several times back in the 80s in a pub frequented by legal people (near to Camberwell Magistrates ). Let's just say he wasn't the cuddly, daft persona that he portrayed.

Maybe he's changed.

Naga Munchetti - love her for her guts
Lewis Capaldi - so funny, talented and real

These 3 are pretty universally popular aren’t they? Why would it be irrational to love them?

Unlike the Hairy Bikers, Lewis Capaldi, Tom Hanks, Dolly Parton. What made you direct your joyless pedantry at me in particular? I'm not even the only person who's named David Mitchell and Bob Mortimer 😆

I've always thought I could be good mates with Romesh Ranganathan if we knew each other IRL.

Oh Ardal O’Hanlon seems such a lovely gentle soul. And he’s ageing really well.

Alex Horne
David Mitchell
Jack Dee
Zoe Lyons
Kate Bliss off Bargain Hunt - she’s better than all the male experts and seems like she’d be a good laugh over a few glasses of fizz.

Sarah Millican

Gosh, what a misery. Why not tell us who your favourite is, as is the point of the whole thread?

@TheAutumnCrow Lyse Doucet is one of my absolute favourites too!

Also Emmett Scanlan - used to watch hollyoaks many years ago and he was great in it, since then he's popped up in loads of films and tv series' and it always makes me happy to see him

I LOVE Big Zuu, was flicking around the Glastonbury streams and heard his voice…he was with his cousin AJ Tracey and I watched more of the set because of him. Love him on a podcast too, seems to be a really lovely guy with a generous personality.

Robert Smith of The Cure. We’re about the same age, loved his music for more years than I care to remember, and he just seems so unfailingly lovely. See also Siouxsie Sue.

Judi Dench.

I love Rylan, his Radio 2 show on a Saturday is the highlight of my week. I was a bit gutted when he admitted he'd cheated on his husband (in the same way my grandmother was disappointed with Richard Whitely after his sex scandal lol) but I've forgiven him 😅

I really want to appear on the Couch Potatoes quiz 😉

This is a bit niche..but Luke toki
(Australian reality star,been on survivor,traitors,big brother)
I watched him on survivor in particular and every time he appeared on screen he made me smile...I randomly say 'yeah boyeeee" now and then...😀

Carey Mulligan. She's just luminous.

I love RS. He's so reliable and consistent. He never changes. Whatever is happening in the world, you can be assured he'll always be there, the same as ever.

My favourites are Anne Hegarty and Jurgen Klopp. Anne is clever, funny and has such a naughty twinkle in her eye. Kloppo is just such a lovely man. Obviously I'm biased but he's kind, loving and funny.

I've also got love for Rebecca Pritchard. I really, really want her to show up on Antiques Roadshow or similar. Just to really wipe her cheating ex-husband's face in it.

I love Amanda Holden in the morning on HeartFM and also Kelly Brooke they make my school run a dream we love playing along to Wake up and Win! I feel if we ever met we’d really click and she’d take me shopping 😂😂😂😂

Bob Mortimer and the late great David Lynch. Although I don't think those are really irrational - they are the only ones I love, though!

Probably because we don't actually ignore them, so loving them so much is irrational.

But for a truly irrational one, ( completely forgot) probably Courtney Love. I suppose it's rational enough to love her music (which I do) if that's your thing, but she seems like a pretty difficult person, who could be your worst nightmare if you crossed her, and yet I've loved her since I was a teen.
