Judge Judy No GIF by Agent M Loves Gifs

Just that. There are a few celebs that I just can't bear to watch on tv etc but I don't know why. I'm sure they are all nice people but I just find them annoying etc. For example:- Amanda Holden, anyone from Towie etc, Holly Willoughby, Philip schofield, ant and Dec, Allison Hammond, tess daily, Vanessa feltz, aj adudo, Rita ora, gregg Wallace, Stacey Solomon, Alan Carr, James corden, tv/radio presenter Chris Evans, johnathin Ross, Denise van outen. There are probably loads more but thought I'd better stop there as I can feel my blood pressure rising!!!!!!!

Owen Wilson can't stand him, not sure why. All those previously mentioned I don't really have any opinion of!

Sam Smith
Russell Brand
Michael Caine, never liked him, no reason, but won’t watch films he is in

Thought of a couple more…

Helen Mirren.. cannot bear her, always swearing and being “clever” on talk shows. Marketed as an institution for us all… no thanks, potty-mouth common piece.

Miriam Margolyes… much as HM above, really. Thinks it’s funny or clever to swear and “be shocking” on chat shows. Ends up just showing off and being an embarrassment. What does she actually do?

Tom Cruise… Hmmm, my jury is out on this one. Maybe he’s a great actor, maybe he’s great to his fans, an all round great guy.
Maybe there’s a lot more we’ll never know, or only find out when he’s dead and gone. I’ve read so much of ‘the other side’ of him, I just don’t know what to make of him.

Dudley Moore (yes, I know he’s dead). Totally creeped me out, amazed there’s been no ‘chat’ about him. Likewise Peter Sellers, utter creep. Can5 bear to see them on tv even now.

There is a very valid reason not to like Russell Brand 😳

robinsnest1967 · 30/09/2024 15:32

Kate Garraway, I wish she would sort her hair out 🤣

Els1e · 30/09/2024 15:33

Tess Daley - not sure why, I'm sure she is a nice person. Just find her presenting a bit wet.

Also Noel Fielding - I've actually stopped watching Bake Off.

Reading through this thread, I didn't realise there were so many slebs that I thoroughly dislike.
A couple I don't agree with.

I was surprised that someone else mentioned John Bishop. I loathed him on sight, many years ago, for absolutely no reason. I wasn't going to post it, because I was sure that he was a lovely bloke and I should be ashamed of myself. But now I am emboldened. Or shameless.

SiobhanSharpe · 30/09/2024 15:38

I have two strong dislikes -- Keith Lemon and Rosie Jones and sorry, but there is a really, really good reason.
They aren't anywhere near as funny as they think they are.

BettyBardMacDonald · 30/09/2024 15:40

Agree about Dudley Moore and Peter Sellars, both always seemed pervy to me.

I cannot stand Harrison Ford and never understood his stardom; he always plays "Harrison Ford" no matter what he's in, and more often than not looks like he's about to burst into tears.

AllAboutNiamh · 30/09/2024 15:41

Tess Daly - she’s like Marti Caine and belongs in that era.

Kate Beckinsale - sometimes she pops up on my IG and she strikes me as utterly desperate for attention and terribly sad.

Josie Gibson - I simply can’t stand this woman. Shes as thick as mince as a terrible presenter.

Jamie Oliver - simply because he turns my stomach.

Lovelyview · 30/09/2024 15:45

Probably not really a celebrity but Adam Hills from the Last Leg is such a smug git. I can't stand him.

Edited

Loved John Bishop when he started out years ago, got all the dvds etc, thought he was a good looking, funny guy… then bits of chatter start trickling out, start hearing rumours etc…. He goes quiet for a while, but he seems to be bloody everywhere again now. He looks like he needs a good wash and decent haircut, and smarten up. He’s turned into his own poor relation! He’s accent is now very over exaggerated, and I’ve gone right off him.
Got a feeling there might be a story brewing there…

Thank you! My DP can’t see the problem with Sellars or Moore..🙄

Chris Myles - rude ignorant not entertaining
Ant and Dec - all the reasons that's already been mentioned.
Rosie Jones - just not funny.
Michael MacIntyre - just don't get him
Rebecca Adlington

Few others but just a few with a special mention.

OnlyheretovoteonAIBU · 30/09/2024 16:37

I don’t like either of the Coren siblings. Giles especially, is a nasty piece of work.

deeahgwitch · 30/09/2024 17:07

I'm with you re Tom Allen @AnyFucker

I wasn’t talking about Russell Brand, I was talking about Michael Caine which is why I wrote that on the same line as Michael Caine

I’m not the only one that mentioned Russell Brand, and I didn’t like him, for no apparent reason before everything came out about him.

Yes to greta thunburg!!
I felt so bad for feeling it but when she did that speech and was nearly in tears (about the state of the climate/environment to be fair to her 😬🤣) I was just mega cringing inside 😁🤣I know I know I’m an awful person 🤣🤣

That “How dare you” speech? You’re not an awful person, I can’t stand her either - long before that speech.

BiggerBoat1 · 30/09/2024 17:57

Also can’t stand Greta Thunburg. I don’t know why she gets listened to.

RabbitsRock · 30/09/2024 18:02

Yes to Lorraine Kelly! She talks over people in an interview ALL THE TIME & it’s just so rude.
Alison Hammond
Matt Tebutt

RabbitsRock · 30/09/2024 18:03

Sorry that is a reason why I don’t like Lorraine Kelly

BiggerBoat1 · 30/09/2024 18:06

Can I add Kevin McCleod from Grand Designs. So smug and pretentious and acts like people have split the atom or found a cure for cancer just because they’ve flown in a worktop from Italy or put a bit of turf on their roof. Bloody self-involved twattery.

spackleplumb · 30/09/2024 18:07

Emma Bunton. I want to like her but something about her grates on me and I don't know what it is. I'm sure she's nice enough in real life.
