I'll start with Kate Humble.

Well it's my own fault for switching on "LambWatch" of course but I turned it off again after 7 mins (honest).

She is so humungously patronising, never stops talking and everything is always about her and not the actual programme.

On a more positive note, I really love Monty Don.

And yes, before you ask, I am very bored today

How did Brian Cox not get on this list?!? I agree 100% with Kate Humble leading the pack. But he's right up there, imho. In fact, I'd pay good money to see a mud/cage fight to the death between them. Not really sure who I'd pull for. Let nature take its course, I guess.

And Alan Titchmarsh not represented? I guess some of it is the context. I mean, EVERY freakin' footy announcer is irritating beyond the endurance for any creature with a brain 1/2 the size of a sultana... And speaking of sports announcers, you cannot beat Danny Morrison (cricket). He's like Dick Vitale crossed with the Saturday Night Live "copier guy", crossed with a yippy Chihuahua. He has the diction of a toothless drunk. He's kind of sad. The kind of guy you'd cross the street to avoid, so he NEVER uses anyone/thing's proper name, always a nickname to sound like he's their buddy.

Yeah, that pretty well covers the most irritating commentators on British tele, imvho.

Julia I-fancy-myself Bradbury : look-how-cool-and-thin-I-am-in-these-skin-tight-leggings and tight leather jacket strutting over the countryside. Whatever.

Fiona Bruce - the frozen botox face and staring eyes.

Jonathan Ross - the humourous smugness I don't get!

Graham Norton - vulgar, I agree

I like Jeremy Clarkson - fantastic journalist in the Spectator (makes me laugh out loud every week and surprisingly sensitive writing). I used to quite like Kirsty Walk.

I could go on ... to be honest, I turn off the TV with most presenters. The dumb-down voices and hand gestures as if we were all 8 year olds.

Phew. I feel better after that.

Bradley Walsh. His pathetic giggling when an answer is rude or has a double meaning is ridiculous. He's like a bloody 5 year old

The most irritating ads are the fat bloke with the moustache who purports to sing and the damn monkey and her baby with the Inappropriate background music.

I'm with you tethersend, Eamonn Holmes is truly shite, and when that dreadful Ruth person talks about their sex life on Loose Women I just want to throw up .... almost as much as when that annoying BBC weather women Carol calls Bill witless Turnbull, "Billie" - God that makes my stomach churn.

Actually, he's so bad he's worth mentioning four or five times.

How can she do Sport Relief when she laughed at Vinnie's 'retard' comment.

What a blazing hypocrite.

I am a mother to what she may call a 'retard' and he is the most amazing person I know. My precious autistic son.
