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.

Oh, one more:

Piers Morgan - so vile & aggressive

This thread and posts are all so funny, cheered me up no end!!

My list:

Joanna Lumley - ridiculous affected accent (so irritating)

Nigel Farage (a cartoon character)

Michael Gove - so SMUG (looks like a big baby)

Davina McCall

Jeremy Clarkson - so boring

Trump (those facial movements - yeeuch!!)

Robert Peston - just so irritating with that theatrical way of speaking but I am sure he is nice otherwise

Boris Johnson's silliness and untidiness

Philip Schofield - ugh! (I used to like him when he was on Blue Peter though)

Well, that's my rant for the day!! phew.

Stephen Fry. I dislike his face and he seems to keep popping up everywhere!

Tories.
'Animal lovers' who eat animals.
Obvs not 'on sight' but the thread has gone way beyond that.

Donald Trump. Can’t stand him and hate his voice too.

Face piercings, can’t bear to look at someone however good looking otherwise, if they have a piercing in their nose, lip or eyebrow. Ok with earrings though

Carol Vorderman could just eat herself
Danny Dyer thinks he's an Eastend hard nut
Lorraine Kelly too sweet to be wholesome
Liz Hurley continuously showing off her bits ( I'm not jealous either, great figure, but god does she know it)
I could carry on and on....

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.

Yes! Paddy Mcguinness!
And another who could be accused of the same crime….John Bishop!
?

I could never understand why anyone liked Jimmy Savile.

Brownowl564 Fri 25-Jun-21 10:45:31

Piers Morgan and the girl on the surf advert, perfect with surf, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard

RosieJ18 Fri 25-Jun-21 10:43:57

Caroline Quintin and Zoe Ball both so insincere!

JdotJ Fri 25-Jun-21 10:43:14

Mariah Carey, Gloria Hunniford, Bono, Sting, Keith Lemmon, Alex Jones and countless more who I shall spend the rest of the day trying to remember ?

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

My grandson was terrified of him when he was a toddler….Mr Tumble that is.

Carol Vorderman
Philip Schofield
Piers Morgan
Naga Munchetty
The list of overexposed and overpaid goes on and on…!

Another here who was certainly not a,"shy Di" fan:looked so manipulative (and some of us think turned out to be so)

And Jack Nicholson, for looking literally "diabolical", like the Devil-I think the producer of,"Witches of Eastwick" agreed with that!

Mike Bushnell
Carol Kirkwood
Rochdale Holmes (pop quiz - talks like a 5 year old)
but
Sarah Corker (BBC political/foreign/something correspondent not only talks like a toddler but talks at me like I'm one too. I loathe her voice.

My DH changes channels if Chris Packham comes on.

He thinks he is a smug, priggish little know-all.

A lot of use of the word ‘arrogant’. How can you tell if someone’s arrogant without talking to them?

That's where this thread is skew-whiffed.
Several of us assumed it meant an instant irrational rejection of someone on looks alone. To say you find someone sneery or arrogant etc means you need to have spent time listening to them actually speak.

Lorraine Kelly. I probably liked her at one time but now she's turned off immediately. And Holly Willoughby bugs me as well.

MiniMoon I live in Carlisle, I’ve lived in Cumbria for nearly 50 years and I have never come across anyone whose accent has made me wince. I like the Cumbrian accent. She seems to have an exaggerated version of the Carlisle accent which,combined with the timbre of her voice, gets me reaching for the off switch. If I were surrounded with people like her, I’d have gone long ago!
