Celebs That You Rather Like, Actually?

Hello Everyone! ?

As a companion thread to nanna8's 'irrational dislikes on sight'.

Who, in the public eye, do you think comes across as rather a good egg?

Extra points if the celeb in question is usually found in the other camp
(is there anyone out there who actually likes Schofield or Holden??)

For me, it's Rylan Clarke-Neal.
I think that he is a TV natural, and he seems really warm and friendly.
I'd really like to be his mate.

So, which Celebs do you have a soft spot for, and why?

Thank you!

Carol Kirkwood because she has such a warm smile
Alan Titchmarsh because he just seems so friendly
Monty Don because he has such a soothing voice

@Sparklefizz

Just wondering if I somehow posted under a different name ?

We must be twins!

Sparklefizz It's on the internet somewhere, Twitter maybe. He shot a deer, knelt over it's body saying something like 'I can't believe it. I've waited so long to do this' . He then lifted the deer's head, patted it and said 'thanks buddy'. Like it had a choice. Sorry if you like him!

Haha Flossiebo.
Glad I'm not alone in my likes smile

Sorry Sparkle Not surprisingly he's taken a lot of flak with people saying they'll never watch him again. It was horrible to watch. I'm not a particular animal lover but I hate this sort of thing.

I'm a great animal lover so he will never appeal to me again..... whereas I was never a fan of Paul O'Grady but have watched his Battersea Dogs' Home programmes and he's so brilliant with the animals that I'm now a fan.

Miriam Margolyes. Monty Don. Owain Wyn Evans - he presents the weather on North West news.

Kate1949 Sun 27-Jun-21 18:02:43

I think he'll live to regret it "Sparklefizz*

Does anyone have an opinion on Christina Trevanion (Bargain Hunt?) I waver between thinking she is so false laughing all the time , or admiring her good looks and friendly flirty way with people.

Phil Spencer shot a deer ?
why??

Kate1949 Sun 27-Jun-21 18:27:04

Millie It was an ambition of his. He was thrilled with himself.

Millie22 Sun 27-Jun-21 18:30:35

That's horrid. How could that be an ambition.

Alegrias1 Sun 27-Jun-21 18:37:04

Phil Spencer. It was 10 years ago. He took it home, cooked and ate it. If any of you are eating meat, consider that at least he was honest enough to kill it himself. Lots of other people hunt. What do you feel about Prince William for instance? Catherine?

BTW, I've been vegetarian for 30 years.

Foxglove77 Sun 27-Jun-21 18:45:37

Alan Titchmarsh seems lovely and genuine. My daughter met him on the train once. Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judy Dench, legends!

I'm a bit confused about the upset of the shooting of game too. I used to be a real townie but I live in a very agricultural part of the country and people shoot game here, I don't know how much enjoyment is involved, but they take it home and skin and eat it or shove it in the freezer or it's hung for days. We have hooks outside of our house which we don't use but I know what they are for. My family wont eat game s I don't even buy it but I don't feel cross with people for shooting and eating their own food (with licence)

I am enjoying watching the mannerisms and style of Stanley Tucci, in that tour of Italy programme. He is so funny, charming, well mannered and speaks Italian so politely to the locals. How many other presenters can do that? Apparently he was a model in a previous career, he has such poise and moves so elegantly. I am mesmerised!

Mak27 Sun 27-Jun-21 19:10:46

I love Lorraine Kelly and Dr Hilary, Dr. Amir, Mark Heyes and Andy Peters, all on same programme and all seem genuinely nice people.

Beswitched Sun 27-Jun-21 19:52:27

Richard Osman and Anthony Armstrong.
Mary Berry.

Secondwind Sun 27-Jun-21 19:55:06

Alexander Armstrong. He seems such a nice man.

Alegrias1 Sun 27-Jun-21 19:59:42

Sat next to Alexander Armstrong on a plane once. He was lovely. Can't stand his programs on Classic FM though, sorry!

Elvis58 Sun 27-Jun-21 20:05:08

Bill Turnball always seems a lovely genuine person and my all time fav Jules Hudson.l would follow him anywhere!

grannybuy Sun 27-Jun-21 21:19:01

Simon Reeves, Ramin Karimloo ( just died in Holby City- fantastic singer in a number of musicals ), Chris Smith ( virologist )

montymops Sun 27-Jun-21 21:51:37

Agree with many of you - I like Carol Kirkwood too - also David Mitchell, Rob Brydon, Lee Mack, the team at the Repair shop, Mary Beard, Grayson Perry, Lucy Worsley, Sandy Toksvig, Graham Norton, Jeremy Clarkson, Ruth Davidson, Richard Osman, Douglas Murray, Ed Balls, Simon Reeve, - Bethany Hughes, - yes Ryan Clark Neale? - not sure of spelling - is good too.
