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.

^Paul McCartney, such an ignoramus^

An ignoramus with an IQ of 137.

And a net worth of over £1 billion!

Does Claudia Winkleman have a live-in hairdresser! I find her fringe soooo annoying.

I can’t watch anything with Tom Cruise in. Now he really is creepy.

Yes.
They live in her fringe.

I don't like Sue perkins !

Oh me neither.

I doubt if she counts as a celeb, but I find Helen Skelton unwatchable. - or perhaps unlistenable to.

Paul McCartney, such an ignoramus. I was in a musical event that involved him. He can’t read music, and what’s worse, can’t be bothered to learn - but because he has all the money he thinks he’s the bee’s knees. He takes himself very seriously.

Can you please explain what is so clever, or useful, about being able to read music!?!

"yes they live in her fringe" the hairdressers that is shock I suppose that's one form of fringe benefits grin

Very droll!

Have to add to earlier celebs I can’t stand, Michael McIntyre. He is on at the moment and my DH likes him. I think he is an annoying little man who plays awful practical jokes on unsuspecting victims. Am presently playing online scrabble whilst he bounces like a wound up toy all over the place.

TerriBull Sat 09-May-26 19:38:17

Oh no! you set it up MissAdventure, I'm never going to look at Claudia Winkleman again without visions of an incy wincy budding Vidal Sassoon lodged in her coiffure grin

When I see Claudia her fringe makes me itch. Such an uncomfortable hairstyle surely. Saw a pic of her once taken when she was much younger. No fringe. She looked so natural and lovely.

Jane Macdonald.

Most of those already mentioned and Amanda Holden who can't keep her clothes on.
Jimmy Carr for his laugh which sounds so fake.
Vicky Pattison who just comes across as fake.
Gordon Ramsey. An arrogant foul mouth.

Knitter43 Sat 09-May-26 21:27:21

I'd like to add Jamie Oliver, Helen Skelton, Alan Titchmarsh and Andi Oliver to all those already listed. How do they get their jobs? All seem to be too full of themselves.

REKA Sat 09-May-26 21:33:25

I used to like Stephen Mulhern but he's had some work done and his face resembles a Madame Tussard figure.

It's mainly women who irritate me.

Oh and Dermot O'Leary. He's turned into a crashing bore.

I agree with most of the above, but (I'll get jumped on for this) I don't like David Attenborough 🫣, I find him a bit creepy.

Me too, never liked him. I know we, re not allowed to dislike him since he's now declared a national treasure but there's something off about him.

😂

Perhaps Grandma70s is worth more?

Some people play(ed) by ear, like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Elvis, all the Beatles and Hans Zimmer - two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and five Grammy Awards as well as nominations for seven Emmy Awards. Zimmer was also named one of the Top 100 Living Geniuses!

They didn't do too badly, did they. 😁

There is not.

That says much about you though.

Why is Paul McCartney an ignoramus?

Allsorts Sat 09-May-26 22:40:51

Why on earth would you presume Paul McCartney an ignoramus I think his achievements contradict that statement.
He cones over as very grounded and pleasant.

Whilst I am thinking about it,
Denise Welch
Stacy Solomon
Claudia Winkleman
Alison Hammond, imagine her and Susan Calman doing a show together!
Paddy McGuiness
Robert Preston but i do think he talk the way he does as he must have a stutter but regardless can’t abide him.
Brian Cox i find creepy, my friend adores him though
I read Shelia Hancox book The Two of Us and was taken back at what a very high opinion of herself she has, referring to her beauty and lovely legs, really, think she talks a load of rubbish with her leftist views, she would not last a week without her wealth, another champagne socialist like Emma Thomson

Must be quite difficult going through life judging people you don’t know.

He was the one Beatle I loved 🙂

He could have gone to university but chose music, thank goodness.

Kate1949 Sat 09-May-26 23:24:30

Well he's done ok not being able to read music! 🎶

merlotgran Sat 09-May-26 23:34:08

I don’t get why some people think that playing by ear or memory is inferior to being able to read music.
I was taught to read music at the same time I was taught to read by my music teacher mother.
Can I play the the piano? Yes but not very well.
My late father in law was a self taught pianist. He couldn’t read a note. If somebody asked him to play in a higher key he’d shunt the piano stool a little to the right. 😂
My mother envied his ability to knock out a tune anytime, anywhere and they played brilliantly together at family gatherings.
There’s talent and there’s talent.

Kate1949 Sat 09-May-26 23:49:42

Agreed. I was watching Tim Minchin who wrote the very successful musical Matilda, amongst other things. He said he can't read music.

That Naga Munchetti woman..can't stand her.....Carol Vorderman...so loud...

Paddy Mcguiness isn’t from Yorkshire . I think he is from Bolton .
