Alan Titchmarsh
Claudia Winkleman
Keith Brymer Jones

David Attenborough has the same effect on me as Greg Wallace, so no, not everyone likes him.

Cannot bear to listen to, or watch Sandi Toksvig. She comes across as sneery or Giles Brandreth (thinks too much of himself).

I like most other TV presenters including Amol Rajan, Joanna Lumley, Alexander Armstrong and Stacy Dooley.

David Attenborough always sounds to me asifhe is eating something

I don't watch much TV now so can't say there are any I dislike (except David Attenborough - I don't like being dictated to about the environment by someone who probably has a bigger individual carbon footprint than anyone else!)

However we do have a presenter on local radio who has the most irritating voice and laugh! She is also probably the worst presenter in local radio - constantly interrupts guests and is thick as slurry (as we say locally!)

Alison Hammond
Stephen mulhearn
Both the mbusi sisters

Kier Starmer’s “three witches”. Grrrr

I am afraid that I like
David Attenborough and Brian Cox. They both have very soothing voices and should read bedtime stories. Brian makes me believe that I understand complex scientific explanations, though I would be unable to repeat them five minutes later.

I also like Simon Reeves and Monty Don.

I can't bear Stephen Fry, he gives me the creeps, but I like Hugh Laurie. David Walliams is also creepy, James Corden and Jeremy Clarkson are just awful.

Hate: Fiona Bruce and Attenbore (intense dislike with a passion); just dislike Jimmy Carr, Amal Rajan, Tess Daily, Vernon (her husband), Tom Bradbury, Amanda Holden, zander Armstrong and his old pointless mate,

Quite like Sally Taylor, Claudia Winklemann, virtually everyone who does the weather, Olivia Colman, Judy Dench,

Thanks for this post, I am getting more like my super-intolerant Mum who didn't just dislike but "loathed and detested" so many TV people.
Very therapeutic to find myself in good company: to save boring you I have a list of 19 "loathes" but will omit the 13 already named leaving:

Jayde Adams (no you're not funny)
Sarah Millican (ditto)
Ricky Gervais (ditto plus cruel and sneery)
Lesley Garrett (like Amanda Holden,"right up the front")
Sally Nugent (Robot Girl)
and from radio, Kirsty Lang from Round Britain Quiz-is she laughing or being strangled? Sandi Toksvig's like that too

LIKES: Thomas "Shaff" lovely weatherman
Rhod Gilbert (I weep with laughter)
Ross Noble (ditto)

Really, really can't stand
Alison Hammond - too loud, unfunny, horrible cackle, appears on too many programmes
HDavina McCall 50+ trying to be a late teen with the clothes she wears and stupid actions, especially on the 'hidden singers' programme
Vanessa Felz - dreadful boring, 'school marm' voice. Seems to talk down to people when also talking over them!!

I can’t stand…

Denise Welch
Carol Vorderman
Greg Wallace
Amanda Holden
Jimmy Carr
Anne Robinson

I love (I’m not gay)
Sandi Toksvig
Susan Calman
Robert Rinder
Ed Byrne

I have met 5 of the above (no names for legal reasons) and I can confirm that they are either nice or nasty off screen as they are on screen.

Alison Hammond, so loud.
Steven mulhearn who seems to be everywhere at the moment.

I really don't like anyone on Countryfile because its a very tedious programme that used to be lovely so I love/hate them all.

I dislike the double act Charlie Stait and Naga Munchetty. My husband calls them Big 'ed and Pin 'ed

Lorraine Kelly drives me mad!
She constantly makes everything about herself and her family.

I used to love Davina McCall until I found out she challenged a £300 electric bill. She’d used it but said that they should have read her meters or something it was ages ago. Any celeb who advertises things they don’t use: there’s no way Holly Willoughby gets her hair that blonde with a box dye. Philip Schofield advertising WeBuyAnyCar when they’re ripoff merchants. I can’t stand James Corden, never liked him. Linda Barker was irritating, but don’t see her very much now. Daisy May Cooper on Buzzcocks because she’s so vulgar. I went off Russell Brand after reading his autobiography years ago because of the way he had treated women. Jeremy Clarkson, just so arrogant. I could go on all day 😂

Jeremy Vine is top of my list! For so many reasons absolutely everything about him. Robert Preston, surely his way of speaking is some sort of affectation. Jimmy Carr is creepy, I never watched master chef and even seeing tailers with Gregg Wallace gave me the ick. Denise Welch seems almost universal and I agree. In fact there's not many I disagree with here.

Kitty lester thank you for posting this , I thought I was alone !
Here goes:
Amanda Holden
Carol vordeman
John Bradbury (news reader ) so opinionated just READ the news !
Robert Peston
Denise Welsh
Allan Carr
The list goes on and on ……….

I think most of you haven't understood the OP! She wasn't talking about people you love and those you hate on the telly, but those for whom you have a love/hate reaction - both at the same time.

I can't think of anyone like this for me.

I have just thought of another, Laura Kuenssberg, cannot stand to watch or listen to her, accidentally met her several years ago and she was extremely nice…

Creepy Jonathan Lis on GB News far too often!

Anita Rani ( too full of herself and didnt win Strictly because of her colour. You weren't good enough sweetie! )
David Walliams - creepy, wet handshake type
Amanda Holden - look at me
Angela Rayner - potty mouthed
Carole Voderman - thinks she's still 20, wears skin tight clothes showing all her unattractive 'curves'
Brian Cox - scientist
Hew Edwards - creepy, long before his downfall

Gosh! 5 pages of hate mail. Lighten up people. If you don't know them personally then you only see their TV performance, which has to be OTT to a certain extent, although I do admit that some people present themselves as not so likeable. There's nothing wrong with Naga Munchetti. She's often in pain due to a medical condition, so hats off to her for her fortitude.

Vanessa Feltz did I leave her off my 🤮list I cannot abide that woman
