I’m going for Idris Elba advertising for TV Christmas programs on Sky this year : especially for the twelve films of Christmas
Every bloody break and I can’t keep going out to kitchen to make a cup of tea!?

That advert for those boxer shorts, yuck

Not a celebrity but may I add Kay Burley , her flapping, twirling hands so irritating.

Philip Schofield - programmes, adverts, his books, his never-ending self-pity .... his smug simpering face is everywhere.

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 06-Dec-20 10:32:36

I enjoy Eastenders, but Danny Dyer? Has he got a crick in his neck? He always walks like he is the only one who matters!

Sparklefizz Sun 06-Dec-20 10:34:16

I've just read back through all the posts on this thread and agree with everyone. There seem to be loads of people I don't like. I'm clearly becoming cantankerous! confused

Madmother21 Sun 06-Dec-20 10:37:09

I agree with absolutely everyone! I used to keep my comments to mental ones so my family wouldn’t think I was a grumpy old boot but now I feel free, knowing it’s not just me! Yay!

Love Nish and his great side-kick, Rachel Parris. a good Leicester girl. She looks so polite girl next door, and comes out with the funniest and outrageous things- but spot on.

I agree on sarah milican- im no prude, but she's just too crude! (Ooh, that rhymes)!?Also yes, claudia winkleman- those adverts are naff! (And yes i do think it was her husband saying shes an annoying vacuum)?

Nannan2 Sun 06-Dec-20 10:54:54

Oh yes- i can't stand jeremy clarkson either- nor the previous presenter of "who wants to be a millionaire?" Chris Tarrant!- its a shame as i quite like the show- but can't bear to watch any more- I'd try go on it but i couldn't bear it!! ?

Actually, should we really call 'comedians' 'celebrities' - they have very specific skills, like actors or singers.

timetogo2016 Sun 06-Dec-20 11:34:26

I agree with you Gingster.
I will add Zoey Ball tothe list too.

DanniRae Sun 06-Dec-20 11:50:17

One more from me:
Katie Derham (she danced with Anton on "Strictly") - her sickly smile makes me so cross.

Bellasnana Sun 06-Dec-20 11:52:11

I’ve never heard of most of the people mentioned, but I do find Carol Vorderman very irritating in those ads for Sun Life.angry

mrsgreenfingers56 Sun 06-Dec-20 12:00:30

I don't know if you would really call Carol Klein a celebrity from
Gardeners World but I gave up watching it with her gushing and Kate Humble but they go totally over the top and don't come across as sincere. My other half said "What are these two on?" Just start to become irritating and annoying.

TerriBull, was the Normal Conquest of England deliberate? Ha ha ha!

Maggiemaybe Sun 06-Dec-20 12:03:22

I agree on sarah milican- im no prude, but she's just too crude!

We went to see her at our local theatre’s studio for about a fiver when she was just starting out. We’d seen her on one of those programmes showcasing new talent and thought she was very funny. Live on stage, she was just out to shock. She totally misread her audience and got a very half-hearted ripple of applause at the end.

TrendyNannie6 Sun 06-Dec-20 12:19:46

Where do I start ?? Gemma Collins with her over inflated ego, Philip Scofield, Emily Atak, Holly willoughby with her shrieking, Michael McIntyre, Katie price, Russel Brand

TerriBull Sun 06-Dec-20 12:49:59

ooops yet another typo Alima, although it might have been quite normal at the time grin

annodomini Sun 06-Dec-20 12:57:35

Rylan Clark-Neal. I haven't been able to watch 'It Takes Two' since he became one of the presenters. I could just about bear Zoe Ball, but she was becoming far too OTT.

Oldernewgranny Sun 06-Dec-20 12:58:59

I have to add to the Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby list, way too childish. And I used to really like Gino de Campo but his ego has outgrown his likeability, I now find him very irritating.

Sarnia Sun 06-Dec-20 13:00:47

Tess Daly and Zoe Ball. Both so puffed up with their own importance and patronising to us lesser mortals.

Lona Sun 06-Dec-20 13:06:35

I totally agree with all of the above except Claudia W, I do have a soft spot for her. Plus I have a fringe grin

travelsafar Sun 06-Dec-20 13:09:34

Phil and Holly, the man from Top Gear, can't think of his name at the mo, are my top dislikes.

Rosalyn69 Sun 06-Dec-20 13:16:47

Definitely Philip Schofield.

Kate1949 Sun 06-Dec-20 13:32:52

Strange how so few like Schofield and yet he gets so many shows. My DH says he must be very powerful in ITV.

Just what I was thinking!

I don't know anyone who likes him in the real world either

I think your DH is right, Kate1949
