Irrational dislikes on sight

Are there any famous or well known people you just dislike for no rational reason ?
Nigel Farage is one for me
Simon Cowell another. Never met either of them and probably never will but even before I knew what they were known for,something made me dislike them.

Robert Peston irritates the hell out of me. He’s probably a really nice man and but when he comes on TV I have to leave the room

Stacey Dooley and Danny Dyer (for their voices), Amanda Holden and Michael Gove (both far too smug), Trump (for obvious reasons!), Gordon Ramsey (abusive and arrogant), Cliff Richard just gives me the creeps and quite unreasonably I just want to punch Farage whenever I see his face!

GrannyGravy, I so agree, we not longer get Cbbc but when DGS used to watch it I always felt uncomfortable with Mr Tumble.
Naga on BBC Breakfast puts my back up, an aquantiance in politics was once interrogated by her live on Breakfast, and she asked 7 questions in about a minute then talked over all of his awnsers.
He complained as things were reported out of context.

Oh yes Lorraine Kelly. Mine are not dislikes on sight. I just find them annoying.

Ant n Dec
David Walliams.

Probably more, but do t want to quietly seethe on such a lovely daygrin

Oh yes Meghan Markle !
How could I have forgotten her!

grin Yes.

But I like her "on sight", she is attractive. It's when she opens her mouth (to whinge).

EkwaNimitee, you wouldn't like my accent either. Helen Skelton grew up in my native Cumbria.
I cannot stand Danny Dyer's cockney geezer accent.
Jonathan Ross is a big turn off too.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 24-Jun-21 13:50:45

Justin Fletcher aka Mr.Tumble there is just something about him I find really unsettling

Millie22 Thu 24-Jun-21 13:41:15

Naga something on morning tv
A neighbour near me whose voice is like a squeaky door

Grandma70s Thu 24-Jun-21 13:35:06

I’ve just thought of a major one - Meghan Markle!

I don’t know who some of the choices on here are.

Sago Thu 24-Jun-21 13:19:12

Alex Jones,Eamonn Holmes and Wife, Lorraine Kelly, Jimmy Carr (tax dodger), Tony and Cherie Blair, James O Brian, Mrs Brown,Miranda Hart and currently my decorator….. long story.

As the OP asked about 'on sight', I still nominate Ryland Clark-Neal and add Jacob Rees-Mogg.

NannyJan53 Thu 24-Jun-21 11:14:46

Nigel Farage, and Michael Gove, both so smug and arrogant.

JenniferEccles Thu 24-Jun-21 11:09:14

Two who spring to mind are John Bercow and Naga Munchetty.

Oh and I agree about Stacey Dooley’s voice. How on earth did she become a tv presenter?

EkwaNimitee Thu 24-Jun-21 11:03:36

not sure I'd describe it as irrational dislike though, rational probably the correct word.

EkwaNimitee Thu 24-Jun-21 11:02:02

Helen Skelton, that voice and that accent... Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and not just for his politics, Jacob Rees-Moggs and not just for his views either, Kate Hoey etc etc etc. These are the ones that get me reaching for the off switch.

mumski Thu 24-Jun-21 11:00:22

Agree about Paddy Mcguinness. He's turning into a joke "Professional Northerner". His fake accent has got heavier and heavier even though he hasn't lived in Bolton for years. Seriously irritating.

Jeremy clarkson

I feel mean naming anyone but that is the name that immediately came to mind!

Ngaio1 Thu 24-Jun-21 10:52:03

N ovak Djokavic - may have spelt that incorrectly - for his demonic stare with lots of white around the eye. Suranne Jones - voice and gurning. Paddy Mcguinness - voice.

Kate1949 Thu 24-Jun-21 10:44:23

Davina
Jeremy Clarkson
Phillip Schofield
Naga Munchetty
To name but a few!

Grandma70s Chris left BBC breakfast years ago.
My list could be soooo long, but I’ll start with the three who are on after BBC breakfast sometimes, Gloria Hunniford, Angela Ripon and the other one. Still on breakfast, Naga Munchetty irritates with her snide remarks. I could drone on, but won’t.

Oh, did he? I still can’t/couldn’t stand him.

I don’t mind Naga Munchetty.l

Jeremy Clarkson, obviously ?

TrendyNannie6 Thu 24-Jun-21 10:37:08

Phillip Scofield, Lionel Blair, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Carol Vorderman, Gemma Collins,

Ellianne Thu 24-Jun-21 10:35:26

Crossed post monk08.
Are we meant to be talking about "on sight" as in looks, or in behaviour and the way they speak?

Poppyred Thu 24-Jun-21 10:34:38

Tony Blair
Bob Geldof
Garry Lineker
