The last one got full up: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5368597-one-celebrity-you-irrationally-hate-lighthearted-and-petty?page=1

I thought, why not make a thread 2 🤭

(Mine is still Carlos Alcaraz - its the soft moans and also, as mentioned by another poster, his hair, which does irritate me 😭)

Hate away, if you fancy it 🥰

Also, the threads just a lighthearted one, we aren't plotting the deaths of celebs, just engaging in the age old past time of judging the rich 🤷‍♀️

Alcaraz 😭😭 No idea why, I think its his moans when he hits the ball, they give me the ick

Twas only the other day that I realised that Harvey Goldsmith, a man of impeccable reputation is not the same person as Harvey Weinstein, a man of considerable bad repute. Even worse, I've believed them to be the same person for donkey's years. Only realised when some 'remember Live Aid' thing was on tv that there are 2 Harveys, looking quite similar, one good and one bad. I'm using the excuse that I've no interest in their showbiz worlds so I've never focused on it fully before but, bloody hell, that's a bit much, even for me. APOLOGIES to Mr Goldsmith.

I saw him at Carfest about 8 years ago with Boomtown rats. He was obnoxious, nasty and offensive, swearing at the crowd saying he was in a 2000 pound suit and we were all wearing f#@ing Primark crap as that's all we could afford. He was booed off and Chris Evans had to come on stage and apologise. He was clearly off his head on something but this was a family festival for Children in Need. Shame as the Boomtown Rats were excellent but he was an absolute knobhead.

Fucking hell 😭

youreactinglikeafunmum · 06/11/2025 18:59

She has ruined Wimbledon for me, she gets where dirt can't, bloody everywhere.. They should call the BBC Balding Broadcasting Company.

Interesting. I have met Bob Geldof a few times and he was absolutely charming.

I have a very long list of celebrities I don’t like.

Kate Lawler. I have to mute the tv whenever she comes on, shouting her head off.

David Jason. Another shouter.

Holly Willoughby. Insincere.

Hannah Waddingham. I know someone who went to school with her and who says she was intolerably unpleasant to everyone she felt was beneath her.

Tom Skinner

The list goes on and on to be honest.

StyledByTheFlumps · 06/11/2025 19:19

Pedro Pascal. Hated him even before the twatty “save the dolls” wank.

carbonelthecat · 06/11/2025 19:20

Keira Knightley - her stupid, smug, simpering face ruins everything she is in.

Pairymoppins · 06/11/2025 19:27

Sheridan Smith, Helen Skelton, Holly
Willoughby

I don’t have good reasons it’s completely irrational!

CoffeeCantata · 06/11/2025 19:34

I’m practically allergic to Sandi Toksvig. I did like her about 30 years ago but cannot stand sight nor sound of her now because

  • she’s EVERYWHERE (I hate the way the BBC keep shoving the same 5 people into every programme)
  • she’s extremely patronising, smug and superior
  • i learned that she made a nice former colleague’s life hell at school. I don’t like her just on what I see, but that did actually surprise me.

i feel almost the same about Stephen Fry…smug, superior, condescending, conceited. But I saw him on a programme about birds in NZ and he was so obviously fond of animals and quite humble, so I suppose he has a nicer side.

Edited

I think she’s an example of a very pretty woman who’s never bothered to develop a personality because she gets plenty of attention without it!😲

Kitsmummy · 06/11/2025 19:41

Sharon Osborne and Colleen Nolan. Awful awful people. Sharon an absolute fake cow and Colleen, god I dont want to hear about your sex life, again

bungobungobungo · 06/11/2025 19:43

Kate Humble really annoys me.

Sharon O is horrendous, agreed.

See I don't agree with that, she annoys me in films but in interviews she actually comes across as quite funny and self deprecating.

My list is;
Mel C
Ronan Keating
Lorraine
Lulu
Alan Cumming

There's plenty more but they're mostly rational.

Sheridan and Helen are on my list too, along with Holly!

Ruth Wilson has a very smug face.

hyggetyggedotorg · 09/07/2025 20:11

I didn’t see the first thread so I'm sure these have been mentioned but:

Christine Lampard
Lorraine Kelly

Both as fake as Katie Price’s breasts with similar interviewing & presenting skills.

A million % these two and I’ll add Tom Daily.

Aprilmaymum · 06/11/2025 19:52

Jim Carey. Not in the slightest bit funny .
David beckham . Or shd I say sir David . Find him smug and a bit full of his own self worth. I wonder how far he will take the Sir bit 😏 I love Victoria though.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 06/11/2025 19:54

Just wanna add Helen Skelton too grrr

FartyAnimal · 06/11/2025 19:56

Fiona Bruce - terrifying and I feel she would be very condescending.
Emmett scanlan - really annoying, in every single Irish crime drama, and hair is disgustingly dense.

scienceteachersarefun · 06/11/2025 19:57

Claudia Winkleman, can't stand her. I've no idea why she's successful.

Spottyskunk · 06/11/2025 20:00

Jimmy Carr, odious little man
