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.

Ricky Gervais - almost forgot! How could I. So greasy and pleased with himself

Looks: I started making a list of people named on this thread but it got so long I decided just to say, "I agree with all of you and especially about Jeremy Clarkson, Eamonn Holmes and Davina McCall!"

Sounds: I thoroughly dislike over-the-top camp voices. (I have no interest at all in anyone's sexuality but loud camp, in an otherwise peaceful setting, irritates.)

Thin glamorous people .

Brian someone that talks about night sky, hehe. I don’t know him but he sounds just the sort I wouldn’t like,either!
I don’t like Alan Davies, the one in Jonathan Creek. Can’t watch it.

Richard Madeley - everything about him is patronising. And Lizzy Cundy - famous for nothing but mowing the grass in her smalls.

No, Casdon, Nigel Farrage is definitely a frog, not a chicken!

Davina McCall
Amanda Holden
Jeremy Clarkson
Dominic Cummings
Matt Hancock

Brian someone who talks about the night sky

You mean Prof Brian Cox, CBE FRS, researcher in particle physics at CERN and professor at the University of Manchester? And former member of D:Ream?

Shame, he talks quite highly of you.....smile

Not a person. A voice.

I listen to LBC and when the ads come in, I try to switch off. One of them, is absolutely unbearable to listen to. It’s the woman who voices the Vodaphone ad. Even on TV, I have to mute her. She has that smiley/smug/“listen to what your missing out on” Lind of delivery. It’s totally irrational, I know.
Ive actually though about changing network when my phone contract is up. That’s how much I detest it! ?‍♀️??‍♀️

AuntieEleanorsCat Fri 25-Jun-21 11:26:03

Oooh, and Jennifer Saunders. Cannot stand her. Was at school with her and she was a dreadful superior/snobbish type and a huge bully. I had a northern accent and she was merciless in her condescension. I see it in every role she’s ever played.

Megan whiney Markle
That Naga woman Alex Jones David Walliams . Rylan whatever his name is .Then Carol Vorderman and Davina MCall and Alan Carr for my husband

Tom Allen (supposed comedian).
Leave Bake off The Professionals free of his unfunny chatter.
He spoils a good programme.

nipsmum Fri 25-Jun-21 11:28:06

I seriously dislike Naga Munchetty. Can't stand her on the radio. Smug and self satisfied and Stacey Dooley. Also Alex Jones .

sazz1 Fri 25-Jun-21 11:29:07

Dominic Cummings from the first time I saw him on TV before any of his escapades happened.
He just has the look of a creepy con man the sort who knock on the door offering to tarmac the drive. Funnily enough OH feels exactly the same and we don't agree on much lol

Ilovedragonflies Fri 25-Jun-21 11:33:49

David Walliams (smug)
Susannah Reid (ditto)
Keith Lemon (voice and personality - odious twerp who gained popularity by belittling women)
Jonathan Ross
Russell Brand
I'm sure there are others but these sprang to mind immediately - all make my skin crawl.

Wish I had had Prof. Brian Cox as my science teacher, he's so clever and puts everything over so simply I may not have failed my GCE sciences.

I’ve had such a laugh reading some of these ? My contributions to this thread are

Phillip Schofield
Paul McCartney
Holly Willoughby
Gary Lineker (Ugh)
Dominic Cummings (double Ugh)
There’s so many more, but I agree with most of you on here.

montymops Fri 25-Jun-21 11:39:57

Agree with so many of these ‘dislikes’ - especially Naga - Nasty streak I think - no sense of humour although thinks she has also horrible grating voice - also Stacey Dooleys voice - just awful to hear - Amanda Holden - annoying and what a screeching laugh - she can sing however! - Perhaps I’ve just been watching too much television!
