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

Matt Allright (the smug idiot on the motorbike who does "House of Horrors" and now Watchdog).

Jeremy Kyle, obviously.

Angus Deyton, although he isn't on Tv much now. Thank God.

PS, Plus nicky campbell. he is so, so, so smug. He looks like he's reading the autocue on autopilot whilst thinking about how lovely he must look at home on the viewers' tvs. smugness just oozing out of every pore.

also hate jeremy paxman. I hate jeremy clarkson's attitude to wome,n the environment, cars, life in general, but I think he presents well.

I actually like Tim Lovejoy, he reminds me of my FIL, he has that 'couldnt give a fuck about any of you' type of attitude and he never fawns all over the guests.

Agree Davina has to be top, but I was just saying to DH last night how much I dislike Kate Humble, she reminds me of a proper school mum:

bad hair - check
barbour coat or wellies - check
overly enthusiastic - check
smiley yet you know she cant BEE that happy - check

Dermot O'Leary

So desperate to be nice he's turned into a first degree creep

Just to redress the sisterhood balance - one word.

Madeley.

(I was at university with Matt Allwright and he was totally his own number one fan in those days too. Idiot.)

Greg Wallace, and not only him but also the female voiceover on Masterchef. Between the pair of them I can't watch it.

Also Kate Humble although I feel bad about it, she does try but I want to shout at the screen "I don't care about the fecking lambs OK, they are not THAT interesting!!!"

Oh, I secretly love Tim Lovejoy as well. Always looks hungover. I suspect he's secretly a bit nasty to women though (overthinking this) but he's gettable if he wasn't famous and you met him in the pub.

Kirsty Young OTOH is fab. Gorgeous, glamorous, brainy and down-to-earth - I rarely want to be another person but I would be her.

I agree - Kate Humble is lovely! And one of the (very) few presenters I've worked with who is actually a fairly normal human being rather than a self-obsessed, vain, irate, chair-and-tantrum-throwing madman/woman.
I'll support Kirsty Young for pretty much the same reasons. They're both intelligent wormen, too.

Oh I feel even worse now. She obviously is lovely - just also overenthusiastic about sheep and annoying.

After lots of head scratching - Julia Bradbury (Countryfile, Wainwright Walks) is perhaps the least annoying female presenter I can think of .... (just least annoying mind....)
