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.

Anne widdecombe her voice and it’s contents ?
Her best ‘flag waving’ friend Farage the face, the voice, the words coming out the mouth
Debbie McGee and her ‘so glad we ve had this condescending little chat’
Carol vordeman and her everchanging cheekbones
Anne Robinson harsh manner and her poor, badly assaulted face
Keith Lemon, Vile creature
Simon cowel, and Ryan Clarke for their silly vain knashers
Joanna lumleys breathiness
The arrogant men’s men Piers Morgan Jeremy clarkson Trump ….the bullies

Some people others don’t like but I actually do… I like listening to RusselBrand I think he talks a lot of sense I don’t mind Naga at all and Chris Packham is ok too
I m sure I ll think if many more
But I agree about Cliff yucky and Princess Di and her dramas

Sarah Davies from Dragon's Den
Michael Gove
Naga Munchetty
Carol Vorderman
Claudia Winkleman

and I'm sure there are literally dozens more! I obviously don't like people much, lol.

Claudia Winkleman - really want to take some scissors to her fringe!

James Nesbitt - who may be a very pleasant individual - makes my flesh creep for some reason, and although I have never watched a full episode of 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' there is something about the actor playing Mrs. Brown that I find deeply unsettling.

PLEASE NOTE. The OP asked about irrational dislikes on sight, not just a list of people you hate and always have.

Time this thread disappeared

Never could stand Michael Barrymore makes my skin crawl.

Also Donald Trump, Alan Carr, Simon Cowell.

Never liked the Spice Girls much.
don't like Gloria Hunniford or Anne Robinson.

There are probably loads more but that is a start.

Nanananana1 Fri 25-Jun-21 12:59:26

Boris , Farrage and Trump, obvs
But others are:
Davina McCall
Helen Skelton
Nicky Chapman
Fiona Bruce
Marc Almond
Anyone from 'reality (not mine) TV shows

....and many, many 'presenters' who think they are God's gift. Irritating, ill informed, useless and badly spoken. Surely the most important reason for getting the job? It seems not. Looking 'pretty or even vaguely attractive, being pushy and knowing absolutely nothing about anything is a priority it seems

Julie Walters.

She seems to talk in a silly voice and screws her face up, looks like she’s sucking a lemon. Morphed into Mrs Overall, or the ‘soup’ waitress.

Oh, and Judi Dench. Little girl voice at her age sounds daft.

( I realise I will be in a minority here).

Well, I agree with you, Calendargirl. I have frequently said the same thing about Judi Dench’s voice, and I agree about Julie Walters, too.

There some confusion in the quotes here! It is corisanda who made the horrible comment about Joe Biden and Corbyn.

Buttonjugs was responding to that, defending Corbyn rightly agains the accusation.

Sweetpea60 Fri 25-Jun-21 12:58:32

The whole Beckham family

Please don't shout me down but while we are having a free for all:

Kate Middleton - too wooden!

war criminal Blair - not only took us to war but introduced PFI into the NHS - him and his wife are arseholes.
Fiona Bruce - ruins every programme she goes near.
Emma Thompson -rude about the UK, she can fuck off
Cesar Romaro - American dog (supposedly) expert. Creepy AF
Jeremy Corbyn - hates his own country, friend of terrorists.
Nigella Lawson - so ridiculously affected
Creepy Old Uncle Joe Biden who can't stop touching women and children inappropriately.
Whoever the cretin was in the Green Party who referred to women as 'non men'
Lorraine Kelly - ugh
Kay Burley - stupid woman

I worked at the Home Office when Kate Hoey was a Minister. She was absolutely lovely, would go to the canteen for lunch and sit and chat with everyone.

Not dislike on sight just a general rant about people you don’t like.
What is that horrible comment about Joe Biden ?

Lovely language by the way

You sound very enlightened (not). JC is not a friend of terrorists but he is a friend of negotiation and contributed a huge amount to the peace protest in NI. I think you should research people before making sweeping claims like that.

Bet you love Ann Widdecombe Buttonjugs…..(just a hunch)

? ...and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, and Uncle Tom Cobley and all.... ?

Imagine being called Tracey-Anne Oberman! How ridiculous! hmm

Curlywhirly Fri 25-Jun-21 12:44:16

Oh how could I have forgotten to say Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell? Both so affected and just full of themselves! Megan Markle is going the same way too.

Buttonjugs Fri 25-Jun-21 12:37:03

Linda Barker, Gino D’Campo, Anthea Turner, Philip Schofield, Darcey Bussell, Chris Martin, Gary Barlow, Amanda Holden, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, James Corden, Lucy Alexander, Tracey-Anne Oberman (ridiculous name too) Lorraine Kelly. There’s probably more but I can’t think of them!

GrammaH Fri 25-Jun-21 12:35:17

Michael Macintyre....enough said!

NemoNanna Fri 25-Jun-21 12:28:09

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.

tictacnana Fri 25-Jun-21 12:14:18

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 .

LovelyLady Fri 25-Jun-21 12:07:29

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.

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.

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

Megan Markle. Yuk! that false smile.

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