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!

My secret crush is Robert Peston. There’s something very sexy about him.

Definitely George Michael, I’m a huge fan and was devastated when he died. He was generous and sincere, gorgeous to look at and as for that divine voice….❤️
I like Sara Cox, Zoe Ball and Liza Tarbuck they come across as nice people.
Monty Don seems lovely and very genuine

I rather like Stephen Mangan as well.

I forgot to add Robert Peston to my list, I know many people find him irritating, he does have strange style of delivery, but I read somewhere that he once had a bad stammer he overcame, so I imagine that has something to do with his weird interjections.

Stephen Mangan, yes he's nice.

I heard an interview with Peston on Radio 4. He said he's never had a stammer and never speaks like that in real life, or even when being interviewed. (And he didn't, its true) So, I have to surmise that it's put on for effect. Why he does it, I have no idea.

I didn’t know that.
