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.

Zak Polanski - don’t like the way he talks. Many others, including, like many of you, Susan Calman and Alison Hammond. I was just wondering this morning, when I saw Ant and Dec on their Santander advert, why these two millionaires should be given yet another job. I certainly don’t need them to tempt me to open a bank account. Fed up seeing them.

Most of them I'm afraid especially Alex Jones, Stacey Solomen, Elaine Page (radio, just awful), Jonathan Ross, etc etc. As I say, almost all of them so I avoid anything with celebrity content unless especially when they are selling something ie. a book, a film, themselves.....

Forgot to mention

Monty Don of Gardeners World is by far the King of the Presenters.

Alison Hammond - loud, dense and shouty. No talent at all. Amanda Holden - loud and desperate. Can’t she keep her clothes on? That Fielding man - creepy. That Nolan woman off Loose women - endlessly talks about her sex life 🤮 and that of her children 🤮 . Really is a piece of work. Cliff Richard - comes across as not genuine. Strange man.

Can’t stand Amanda Holden , her cackling laugh and get clothes just grate on me

Alex Jones and Richard Madeley take the prize for me. Can't watch them.

So, so many.....Alison Hammond-just shut up!!-Nina Munchetti, so very rude, comes across as really nasty and cold; Denice Welsh; Jonathan Ross, Alexander Armstrong-used to like him, until I found out he supports fox hunting- Piers Morgan; Jeremy Clarkson; Simon Cowell; Michael McIntyre-have to turn him off-Jeremy Vine; Shirley Ballas-loves herself so much-TOWIE cast-all of them, past and present!; Ant &Dec-particulaly Ant-Kim Welburn-so aggresive-Helen Skelton, Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Andi Peters, Angela Scasnlon-I'm hard pressed to find any that don't annoy me somehow! Do like Stephen Mulhern though, and Pete Wicks-and used to love Paul O'Grady...ooh, I feel better for getting all that dislike off my chest!!

Carol Vorderman 😡 keeps turning up everywhere spouting her political views, especially about retirement pension where she says that pension shouldn’t be an automatic entitlement as MOST pensioners don’t need it. Don’t know where she gets her information from but I’m sure she doesn’t need it after being paid an inordinate amount of money for doing a few sums for a couple of hours a day. Grrrr

pea007 Mon 11-May-26 18:26:49

Joanne Lumley as well- always got a smug look-at-me look on her face and an annoyingly breathy voice.

Look what you’ve started not, I could go on but I’ll try not to.

StoneofDestiny Mon 11-May-26 19:35:20

Oh gosh - forgot Jeremy Clarkson (never thought of him as a presenter, just a self publicist). Totally obnoxious - as is Pearse Morgan.
Why women have to put so few clothes on and shout to get noticed is beyond me - a failed cover up for a lack of real talent.
Why some men have to be supercilious bullies is a puzzle - putting people down to hoist themselves up. Crass.

I cannot stand most of the loose women . I’ve only watched it a few times over the years . The exceptions are Ruth Langsford and Janet Street Porter who makes me laugh . A lot of.

4allweknow Mon 11-May-26 22:46:25

Vernon Kay and his constant "know what I mean" in every sentence. Loads of others but Vernon is top of the list for me.

MissAdventure Mon 11-May-26 22:54:28

I don't like him either.

I forgot about Sarah Millican. Can’t watch her.

Ilovedogs22 Tue 12-May-26 11:29:33

Yes & Alison is as lovely in real life too; unlike some!
She was The fairy Godmother in a pantomime, where I was working & she was just as she is on the telly.
Smily, beautiful & chatty & her lovely son was there too.
