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.

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.

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.

Very droll!

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

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!?!

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.

^Paul McCartney, such an ignoramus^

An ignoramus with an IQ of 137.

And a net worth of over £1 billion!

Amanda Holden. She may be a really nice person IRL, but her constant holiday pics (in tiny bikinis to show off her very honed body) just give off very self-centred vibes. She also has the most annoying fake laugh. She just comes across as trying too hard.

I cannot stand Alexander Armstrong on Classic FM, his voice is so irritating?Grace Dent on Mastershef, such a poser.

Patently he is not, like him or not.

Apparently kind and lovely in real life (from someone who worked with her).

I can't abide Miriam Margolyes, does she really think people want to hear about her farting? Not keen on Jimmy Carr and Claudia Winkelman either.

REKA

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

Holly Willoughby had the most terrifying experience - a psychotic man came extremely close to kidnapping her and carrying out his intention of treating her unspeakably and then killing her. She was afraid to leave her home, unsurprisingly, and this was the reason that she left her various roles on TV. Your post made me think that perhaps she is still suffering.

No, I find him somewhat irking. Slightly patronising in a way.

Witzend Sat 09-May-26 16:53:28

PS, this is possibly sacrilegeous (sp?) but I’m even finding Alan Titchmarsh a bit annoying to the moment (he hosts Classic FM on Saturday afternoons) - rather too ‘cosy’ sounding for me.

Wyllow3 Sat 09-May-26 16:53:28

Is that a time or full time job, Witzend? (winky wotsit)...

Witzend Sat 09-May-26 16:49:43

Most of them, TBH.
But then I find quite a lot of people in general pretty annoying nowadays. I’m a fully paid-up G.O.B. (Grumpy Old Bag). 🙂

Vanessa Feltz
Jeremy Vine
There’s plenty more but I’m cooking dinner…………

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.

How very dare you!
grin
He's lovely!
