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 just don't like to see Mary Berry.
Everyone seems to wear or have their nails done that way, now, don't they?
I never know if its their real nails with sonething over the top.
It's a whole new world. Gels, acrylics, infills.

Its a mystery.

Saint Mary of Berry, somebody here called her once. grin

I don’t like to see Mary Berry baking with her fake nails.

At the risk of being ageist, I think many older ladies don’t suit these nails, on old hands they just look wrong.

I don't know whats going on with her.
I saw a short youtube video of her walking down the corridor to work (presumably)
She was wearing a leather skirt, and was speaking like someone from a soft porn movie.
"I love the way the leather caresses my thighs" or something along those lines.
The woman's gone off the rails, i tell ya, without Eamon. shock

Gasping Kate Garraway.The noise when she takes a breath is so annoying when she's on Smooth radio.

Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr. Are they related?

Totally unlike so I wouldn't have thought so.

We used to find Alan Carr rather irritating but even DH thought he was 'very good' in Celebrity Traitors. I thought he was excellent.

I dislike Jimmy Carr intensely.

Women tend to be under the impression that screeching, being "zany" or acting like overgrown, excitable children is appealing, i think.

Why so many women (though I do find Susan Calman rather irritating)?

Ant and Dec, Paddy McGuiness, Vernon Kay, Alan Titchmarsh, Ross Kemp, Joel Dommet.

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.

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

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

I don't like him either.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!

Dodo43 Mon 11-May-26 18:15:10

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

ruthiek Mon 11-May-26 18:11:44

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