Most annoying TV presenter?

I have noticed that Robert Preston's speech thing seems much better when he is reading something prepared, it is in interview situations that that the odd gaps and odd sounds are more noticeable.

I'm with you Teetime. Never have been able to abide him and final nail in coffin was his stupid behaviour with Russell Brand. If he comes on TV or radio (filling in for someone on holiday usually) I just turn him off. Makes me feel so much better!!

Jeremy Clarkson annoys me too - in fact there are quite a few when I come to think about. hmm

Chris Tarrant - he sounds like he's the plumber who has come round to give you a quote with the amount of sucking air over his teeth! Not on as much now, I know, but I was still annoyed the other day watching re-runs of Millionaire on Challenge.

JONTHAN ROSS!!!!

Steph - finance person on BBC Breakfast- not the accent I stress but the raw tone of her voice and her annoying habit of making inane jokes.

While I think people dislike Robert Peston for his way of speaking I believe he had a speech impediment, could have been a stammer, and he has had treatment which leaves him with a sing-song effect, so good luck to him for overcoming it.

I like Robert Peston! Naga Munchetty (sp) gets on my nerves.

ROBERT PESTON......... he of the hair and ums and ahs.

Supposed to be an economist, as with all BBC he is 'In with the in crowd'

Nobody springs to mind. But I'm sure I will agree with some others suggestions smile

I recorded a few of ITV daytime's 'Guess this House' for 'rainy day' watching. As well as the non-grammatical title, Saira Khan the presenter is so intense, false and loud that I have no desire to watch more than the first episode, so have deleted the rest. As a previous Apprentice contestant, she is meant to be intelligent, but even her pronunciation of (H)aitch irritates me.
Who would you choose as your most annoying presenter?
