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.

Thanks for making me smile tiredoldwoman!
Could never stand watching ir hearing Tony Bkair speak. Can't stand Priti Patel speaking, or rather 'speakin'. Does she not know to sound the 'g' in 'ing' or is it a speech affectation ?

Or hearing Tony Blair...I must learn to proof read before posting ?

I must have mellowed over the years. I used to stop my ears up when Harold Wilson, Clive Jenkins or Brian Clough were on screen.
I now really cannot abide Jimmy Carr's laugh.

Tony Blair - those piercing, insincere eyes - never trusted him.
Keith Lemon - makes my skin crawl.
Meghan Markle - that switched on smile for the cameras, ugh.

Matt Hancock !

Don’t shout me down but David Attenborough ?Also Laura Kuensberg (spelling?)

Blokes in tracky bottoms with no underpants on. ?

Life's far too short to dwell on negatives. Try focussing on the positives instead.

paperbackbutterfly Fri 25-Jun-21 12:00:25

Some celebrities look so smug and pleased with themselves that I instantly dislike them. Laura Kuensberg is top of my list followed by Donald Trump, Oprah Winifred and Angelina Jolie.

Valels Fri 25-Jun-21 12:00:25

Oh so many, but the main one at the moment is Rylan Clark-Neal. I feel the need to wear sunglasses every time he smiles.... Ugh, those bright white teeth ?

Oh god, her crooked mouth …. Creepy

I quite like Stacey Dooley and others with regional accents. I find RP rather snobby.

Silverlady79 Fri 25-Jun-21 12:01:42

Ooops sorry didn’t read the full title before posting apologies

Severnsider Fri 25-Jun-21 12:06:18

Megan Markle. Yuk! that false smile.

Mollygo Fri 25-Jun-21 12:06:45

Tony Blair
Nigel Farage
Laura Keunssberg
Jimmy Carr’s laugh, though I find him quite funny sometimes.
Carol Vorderman
Freddie (I must be the winner) Flintoff
Naga
On the other hand, I love to see Ian Hislop.

Anyone in adverts for gambling, or loan companies.
The PM because he’s a hypocrite, doesn’t respect his role and assumes we’re idiots.
Teresa May for not using the great power when she had it. Her parliamentary peers let her down.
Mostly I dislike those who make excuses for the government, and say HM’s government has served us well during this pandemic.

I’m sad to say that there are many such people. Sandi Toksvig is a pet hate but only after she found the killing of a baby giraffe ,to feed to lions in a zoo in Denmark , hilariously funny. On sight... Tony Blair, David Walliams, Victoria Beckham, Trump .

So interesting to see the same names cropping up on this thread. I wonder if the TV companies are aware of how annoying some of their presenters are. I’ve not seen Monty Don mentioned, I just find him so smug, I know he’s been through a lot and I’m sure he’s lovely but his ‘perfect’ garden is just not reality for most people.

Michael Macintyre....enough said!
