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.

I take it you don't like Paul McCartney then Grandma70s. Well I don't see why it matters that he can't read music. He has given some wonderful songs to the world. I'm would be interested to know where you got your information from.

I got my information from working on a performance with him. He said himself that he couldn’t read “the dots”. I agree he wrote a few good tunes. What annoyed me (and many others) was that he had no desire to learn. He had lots of money, but no humility.

I’ve said all this already.

Yes, Carl Davies (Davis?) wrote some of his stuff. I suspect he resented the fact that McCartney took the credit, and probably most of the money, too. What McCartney did was hum a tune - some good tunes, I agree.

We’re never going to agree on this 😀

Carl Davis.

No he did not write some of his stuff as you so eloqently put it!

He admired their music and recorded Beatles music with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Believe me, he did. The Liverpool Oratorio was mostly Carl Davis’s work.

Kate1949 Sun 10-May-26 23:03:55

Well I have never worked with him and you have. I only 'know' him as a mad Beatles fan.

There's more to being clever than academically so.
One of the residents where i worked could throw his voice and make it sound as if he was in the cupboard under fhe stairs.
I defy anyone to be able to so that.

Grandma70s Sun 10-May-26 23:12:27

As presumably were the ”arrangements” for the RLPO.

As for comparing Paul M to Schubert - well, words fail me.

I didn’t want to go on with this thread, because it’s becoming absurd.

Fair enough,

Gemma Collins, Michelle Freegan and her Towie husband, (always begging for freebies). Denise Welsh or is it Welch? Bradley Walsh and his annoying Nepo son..

I thought that the thread was about “celebs”
“Gemma Collins “ ain’t no celeb!
She is off the scale annoying though.

Yes, I said that.
I met him. Lovely man.

Pointless arguments anyway.

Can't stand the one from just who does the one show 🙄 why is it you can go on strictly 🤔 and you are a tv personality 🤔 why should my licence money pay for these has been!!!!

Allira Mon 11-May-26 14:30:46

Goodness, Gransnetters will be accused of being GOWs soon!!

monami Mon 11-May-26 14:33:02

screaming at the end of game shows etc like theyve won 10 million, its only a couple of grand, aand the hand flailing to cool them, useless

Ktsmum Mon 11-May-26 14:44:01

Agree absolutely

Flakesdayout Mon 11-May-26 14:44:43

Do not like Alison Hammond - too loud
Lorraine Kelly
Kate Garroway
Amanda Holden - her laugh drives me to distraction
I cannot watch BGT - the whole panel are awful.

Ant and Dec
Danny Dyer - dirty loud mouth
Not keen on his daughter either.
Jacob Reece Mogg - have to turn him off

I expect if I really thought about it there are many more.

Then we could get into adverts but I think that has been done.

Lupatria Mon 11-May-26 14:47:56

Alison Hammond
Susan Calman
Alan Carr
all the Loose Women
Ant and Dec

Nanny123 Mon 11-May-26 15:04:37

Yes me too

claresav Mon 11-May-26 15:30:25

Me too, I don’t feel she isn’t authentic- it’s all a bit of an extremely irritating show! If she’s on, I’m off!!

Bazza Mon 11-May-26 15:37:53

Naga Manchetti yes, I know I’ve spelt it wrong but I can’t stand her so I don’t care, and Piers Morgan would be top of my list.

Greenscarf Mon 11-May-26 15:47:41

Agree with most of you're picks but can't stand James Corden, Tess Daly, Rita Ora, Lily Allen

Jodieb Mon 11-May-26 15:50:01

I'm surprised Danny Dyer has only come up once.
The afternoon presenter on Talk radio. So excitable and shouty. I can listed for awhile then I have to turn off.

Greenscarf Mon 11-May-26 15:58:01

Most of the cast of Towie and Geordie Shore, when they are on quiz/game shows everytine they managed to get an answer correct they will exclaim really loudly!!!!!!!!

Greenscarf Mon 11-May-26 15:59:28

Btw used to know Susan calman when we were younger, her family went to same church as us - wasn't really pally with her had more to do with her siblings

JustkeepswimmingDonna Mon 11-May-26 15:59:59

Danny Dyer (the dad)

Greenscarf Mon 11-May-26 16:08:39

Goes without saying can't stand Katie Price!!!!!!!

JakeysGranny Mon 11-May-26 16:23:26

Naga Munchetty, irritating, opinionated and rude
Paul McCartney
Zoe Ball
Carol Vorderman
Ant and Dec
Jeremy Vine
Robert Peston
Sharon Osborne
Helen Skelton
I think it would be easier to say who I like tbh 😆

WithNobsOnIt Mon 11-May-26 16:32:25

All.of the people mentioned. And anyone who calls themselves a Celeb.

Plus Zoe Ball, Jo Whitley and the awful.Sarah Cox.

Sarah Cox really plays up.her Lancashire twang and background and appears to be totally bereft of talent.

Eeh! By Gum Chuck. Just a lassie from Lancashire me trying to enjoy me self.

Perhaps she could team up.with Paddy McGuiness. Another Professional Lancastrian Celeb.
