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.

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

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

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.

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! ?‍♀️??‍♀️

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

Davina McCall
Amanda Holden
Jeremy Clarkson
Dominic Cummings

Laurence Fox the actor
Just for starters!

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

MoanyMargaret Fri 25-Jun-21 11:12:03

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

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.

Thin glamorous people .

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.)

Brigidsdaughter Fri 25-Jun-21 11:03:24

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

Plenty of rational reasons (is that tautology?) to dislike Farage.

Totally agree there!

Brigidsdaughter Fri 25-Jun-21 11:01:46

Neil Nunes (his voice sounds so smug)
Bill Nighy - seeing him and his voice

Hate? Strong word

Parisgranny Fri 25-Jun-21 11:01:09

Paul McCartney

I thought I was the only one but apparently not. I would not have let "Mr Tumble" within a mile of my DGC. I felt the same about him as I always did re Jimmy Saville.

My other all time hate is Cliff Richard.

Not being holier than thou but I honestly can’t think of a single soul that I have disliked on sight.
Once the mouth opens however…
Based on voice alone
Fiona Bruce, Stacy Dooley, Paddy McGuiness.
Based on personality and extreme views Katy Hopkins.
For sheer smarminess Chris Packham which is a shame cos he’s very knowledgeable.
Really can’t get my head around disliking on sight. Seems very shallow and reeks of prejudice. Is it colour of hair, shape of face, weight, height? Please explain.

Bazza Fri 25-Jun-21 10:55:50

Sadiq Khan
Piers Morgan
Pritti Patel
Naga Manchetti
Brian someone that talks about night sky

I’m sure there are more but that’s enough to be going on with!
