Annoying celebs

I used to watch Susan Calman travelling around the UK in her camper van, Helen. Watching it now is becoming challenging as I find her so annoying, constant hysterical shrieks of deafening laughter or cackles at nothing, the people she interviews sometimes almost recoil in surprise..i don't know if she has a hearing problem but she shouts and talks so loud I constantly turn her down. She is exhausting.

Shouty Davina McCall - I have to switch channels. Almost as annoying as shouty Alison Hammond!

Vogue Williams (not a very well known one, admittedly) but she hams up her Irish accent to a really annoying level (I'm from the same area and never heard anyone speak like she does).

Davina McCaĺl, and the squealing Calman woman. (For starters)
There are lots I don't like.

Lorraine Kelly.
The woman who hosts 'Only Connect'.

A J Odudu TV Presenter. If she had a volume control on her voice I would turn it off.
So loud!

Lorraine Kelly.

Victoria Coren Mitchell hosts 'Only Connect'. I actually quite like her in an annoying sort of way.

It seems that, so far, only women seem to have joined the annoying list.

To even up the score, I find Piers Morgan, Jeremy Vine, Jim Davidson and Alan Carr annoying.

I went off Susan Calman when she visited a local area but obviously had no idea where it really was.

All these travel programmes would be better if there was just a spoken commentary instead of in your face presenters. They see it as all about them instead of the places they are visiting.

I do tand to find women more annoying, celebrity-wise, i suppose.
I cantstand screeching and squealing, and over excitement.
Quite unneccesary. grin

Davina McCall
Denise Welch

Alex Jones, I can't watch The One Show. Also Cheryl Cole, I've never heard a Geordie accent like hers.

MissAdventure Fri 08-May-26 20:17:26

Stacey Solomon, when she does the over exaggerated essex(?) accent.

I agree it does seem to be mainly women. Still, I really can’t stand Joanna Lumley, so smug and talks in that breathy plummy way. So many think she is amazing but not me I’m afraid.
But back to men. Never liked Ant and Dec, hyperactive and highly irritating presenters who got away with it when younger but are surely getting too old now to act like cheeky little chappies anymore. And Piers Morgan who is a pompous ass.

Holly Willoughby but she seems to have vanished.
Davina McCall
Alison Hammond
Kate Garroway, in fact all the female presenters of breakfast tv
Aj
Nadia Sawalaha
Lorraine Kelly
Carol Vorderman
And probably many more

And I agree, a lot of this dislike is due to the squealing and fake laughter

Alex Jones yes, her awful screechy voice, surprised she got a tv presenting role.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 08-May-26 20:22:55

A male I cannot abide is Paddy McGuiness.

Females it’s Lorraine Kelly and Alison Hammond.

MissAdventure Fri 08-May-26 20:25:46

I saw Bob Monkhouse telling how he had watched Joanna Lumley, and said to his wife "Isn't she great? I really like her"

Later on, he said he'd like a boiled egg for breakfast. ..

There was a stone cold silence, then his wife said "Well why don't you ask Joanna Lumley to do it then?" grin

Too many to mention.

It is time to go back to the drawing board and give new talent a chance instead of churning out the same tedious people.

merlotgran Fri 08-May-26 20:43:03

Alison Hammond and Susan Calman both have me reaching for the remote.

MissAdventure Fri 08-May-26 20:46:07

I don't like Alison Hammond either.
