So the people who Grans dislike range from a far right anti-Islamic thug, to a woman with an annoying fringe.
I think irrational hate on sight is rarely the case. Sometimes characteristics of high profile people can get on the viewer's nerves for various reasons, for example I don't like Stacey Dooley's voice, but she as a person, I have no idea,! possibly she's quite nice.
I once liked Jonathan Ross, but went right off him when he talked incessantly about himself, wife, children, dogs and often interrupted his guests...........and I thought he could be incredibly rude and sexist to some of the women he had on at times. I particularly went right off him when he and Russell Brand got involved in humiliating Andrew Sach's granddaughter, can't remember the finer details but didn't put the pair of them in a good light. I prefer Graham Norton as a chat show host. I never liked Michael Parkinson either. there were occasions when I thought some of the things he asked were intrusive.
John Barrowman sounds bloody awful, who in their right mind thinks exposing themselves is a bit of fun for heaven's sake.
Having read about Philip Schofield and his blubbing and his announcement of "coming out" on their ghastly show with the equally nauseating Holly Willoughby telling him how brave he is made me very glad I never watch them. Two overpaid very irritating people imo!
Gemma Collins just what does she do exactly?
I do think Ellen DeGeneres sounds anything but generous, mean spirited and horrible. A bit like Harvey Weinstein when that many people say the same thing, eventually the whiff about their behaviour becomes an overwhelming stench, they, the accusers, can't all be wrong. Similarly, Chrissie Teigan, who I'd only heard of recently, sounds another horror, having sent tweets to people she didn't like telling them to kill themselves, does make me wonder about the sort of person she must be to do that.
I don't like the Beckhams simply because I think they are unfair to their children and use them in promoting their brand. Allowing them to have very high public profiles from their earliest years, is not doing them any favours, particularly when they can't make an informed choice about that. Most young people making their way in the world make their mistakes, we all did, they need to be afforded the privacy that their peers have. Exposing the minutiae of day to day live, youngest child reading a book or making breakfast, ridiculous, particularly when it's accompanied by some dis ingenious caption of "rare insight into x doing whatever" It isn't rare it's relentless and obviously they have control over what they release to the media.
Sorry, I know that's for Fanny Mollygo but I'm here and posting 
.
Just read some of the posts, and the language used. This is not dislike in the sense of thinking someone is a comic, for instance, but "I don't really like their work."
People give posters the creeps, they have evil eyes, they make people’s skin crawl, they are “playing the race card” 
, 61-year-old TV presenters are well past their sell by date.
Where’s that wee donkey when you need him?
Maybe it’s all OK though because we are being nasty behind people’s backs? People we don’t know? So they don’t count, do they. They’re celebrities, not real people.
All quotes are authentic, Fanny 
Alegrias looking back, I've seen that one poster has had a pop at the (brilliant) Tracey Ann Oberman for having a 'ridiculous name'.
