There was a recent thread on men we (lusted after) thought were quite nice and spoke well.

Taking an opposite tack I wonder which women GN’s dislike? Recent threads have mentioned Susan Calman, Tess Daly and the ever-unpopular Amanda Holden.

For some reason I can’t fathom I’m not keen on Nikki Chapman and Julia Bradbury should just keep on walking, as far as I’m concerned. ?

The three women that do the morning consumer programme all ex newsreaders I think.

I'm probably the only person in the world who has never taken to Nadiya Hussein.

Beauregard

Danny Dyer. It's the accent.

I thought he was male.
He used to be, anyway.

I may be a prude but I really don’t like women past their first flush of youth (not hot flushes!) dressing in short /slashed up to here/tarty / low cut outfits as if they were still in their 20’s
“Slebs “ at Oscar ceremonies or film premieres with skirts slit up to their waists, boobs hanging out and clearly no knickers.
Let’s face it, knobbly knees, and clearly enhanced boobs convince nobody of their “sex appeal” .
For the price of their dresses you’d have expected a little more fabric!
The few such as Meryl Streep who truly dress elegantly really show them up.

Stephanie McGowan - something about her...

PamelaJ1 Sat 24-Oct-20 16:53:24

The women that irritate me are the generic ones that do the commentary on certain programmes. Their instructions must read - low and breathily sexy tones are required!

EllanVannin Sat 24-Oct-20 16:53:24

I like the very versatile and clever Julie Walters. Underneath all that she's a genuine and likeable person.

AGAA4 Sat 24-Oct-20 16:43:33

Anyone who irks me I just don't watch/listen to them. I do like Amanda Holden and Dawn French. Also Jennifer Saunders.

sodapop Sat 24-Oct-20 16:09:42

Definitely the annoying Zoe Ball, the Scottish woman on Bargain Hunt, and why does Carole Vordeman look so weird now.
Biting my tongue BlueBelle

Another for Joanna lumley and Kay Burley. Cannot stand either of them.

Calendargirl Sat 24-Oct-20 15:27:28

I agree about the woman on the one show, her voice just grates like sandpaper.
I find Judi Dench’s breathy, little girl voice irritating now she’s in her mid 80’s.
Used to like Dawn French but her constant gurning annoys me now.
And that woman on the advert to do with keeping her mouth healthy, oh the “Hips!! Bums!! wobbling away with her inane grin makes me want to shut my eyes and ears, till it’s finished.

FannyCornforth Sat 24-Oct-20 15:18:38

Mary Beard is wonderful!

FlyingHxndbag Sat 24-Oct-20 15:15:21

I absolutely hate Kim Woodburn (horrible, vicious woman), Denise Welch (vulgar), Rochelle Humes (false), Victoria Beckham (miserable), Helen Worth (very annoying), Lindsey Lohan (don't even know why) and Katie Price (vulgar). X

Puzzler61 Sat 24-Oct-20 15:14:30

I like Sue Barker on A Question of Sport and Wimbledon.
Am I alone in finding the Meerkats - all of them - a bit tiresome now on those adverts?

Men I don’t tolerate well are Keith Lemon, Alan Carr, Matt Lucas and Jonathon Ross There we are we've levelled it out now.
You forgot Jeremy Clarkson, Chris Evans and that bloke who fronts Wheeler Dealers.

kircubbin2000 Sat 24-Oct-20 15:04:30

Not keen on Holly Willoughby, Clare Balding, Michaela Coel and can't stand Mary Beard.

Oopsminty Sat 24-Oct-20 15:00:27

Well I love Amanda Holden. I have read so much nastiness about the woman, not only on here but other sites.

No idea why.

So I'll just say I like Amanda Holden

I think it would be a good idea to see women we actually like as well

It’s just a blooming laugh we can have one about men too Plenty of them get up my nose shall we make it sex neutral
I don’t know who Bethany Hughes is I ll tell you who most of may not like but I do a lot and that’s Stacey Dooley I know she’s marmite but I think she’s a good presenter of controversial topics

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 14:36:20

Don’t worry Georgesgran I think most posters recognised it for a lighthearted thread, in fact not all that long ago there was s similar thread that detailed all the presenters and celebs that got on our collective wicks.?
I had forgotten ( how?!) Claudia Winkleman and how she acts up on Strictly, cringeworthy.

Galaxy Sat 24-Oct-20 14:31:24

Replace the word woman in this thread with any other group and then imagine how that would be.

Ilovecheese Sat 24-Oct-20 14:25:47

I am with you suziewoozie a really unpleasant idea whether 'lighthearted' or not.

suziewoozie Sat 24-Oct-20 14:16:54

Interesting thought, we had a thread on men to lust after. Let's start one on women we dislike.

What a bloody unpleasant thread - I’m off

Charleygirl5 Sat 24-Oct-20 14:14:55

I cannot stand Joanna Lumley- especially her voice. As for Claudia Winkleman, I turn down the sound when she is displaying the hair adverts and usually need several cups of coffee when she is on Strictly.

I do not mind Amanda Holden but cannot stand the woman on that show with herself, David Walliams and I have forgotten the other man's name.
