Anything involving Graham Norton, Phil Spencer, Gordon Ramsey, Keith Lemon, Piers Morgan, Sarah Millican, Jeremy Kyle, anyone on This Morning, Loose Women and Towie. Many others, can only dredge these non-entities up for now.
It would be quicker for me to list the people I can tolerate than those I can't such is the state of TV these days. Same old faces standing in front of a different set hosting rubbish and getting overpaid for it in a futile attempt to be entertaining and funny.
Nick Knowles,Keith Lemon,Johnathon Ross and his brother,Russell Howard,Davina McCall and Stacey Solomon, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scofield,Richard and Judy oh and Kirsty Allsop, Richard Peston and Martin Lewis
Oh, good list, except I don't mind Nick Knowles and Davina.
Anything connected with or featuring Simon Cowell - I blame him personally for the state of Saturday night TV!>:(:D
I also avoid Keith Lemon and try to avoid Jack Whitehall - not very successfully though because he's on A League Of Their Own, which my kids like.
Oh, and I can't take too much of David Tennant.
Fuller answer: it tends to be that people I don't particularly want to watch don't appear in projects that interest me. If someone I didn't like was in an interesting project, I would watch because a single person rarely makes the whole. Also, I think I'd feel defeated if I let that person stop me watching something I want to watch.
I avoided Broadchurch because David Tennant was in it. I realised afterwards how mistaken I was. Luckily it started last week on TV3 here in Ireland so I'm getting to see it after all.

Good call. David Tennant, Professor Brian Cox and Martin Lewis (money man) are definitely on my avoid list!!
During the mid to late 80s both my sons were in the British Army, stationed in separate German garrison towns, one of which, (towns), had suffered an unsuccessful IRA attack.
Mickey Rourke appeared in an interview on TV, and declared, (because of his Irish-American ancestry), that he sympathised with their over-all aim to rid Ireland of the British by any means at their disposal.
Needless to say, he hasn't sullied my TV screen since, no matter how good the movies that he may have been in were alleged to be.
Chris bloody Evans! -If his radio show isn't bad enough (I listen to it for both the news and the music before anyone starts with the IYDLIDLTI whine) His appearences on TV are just dire.
Cilla Black- Has anyone got a kind word to say about this tempestous hag? Vile woman, who appears so smarmy,smug and ignorant that she doubts her watch.
Johnny Depp- His early career is fab, but anything from '05- present is so chocked full of ham and cheese that it needs toasting.
Been watching the Great British Bake Off Sport Relief specials have we?
I have to admit that I found her voice somewhat annoying
Haha!
I wasn't aware she was on there, or that it was even on to be honest.
Yes it definitely has something to do with her voice. And she is always one of those actors that are meant to be 'so good'. I just don't get it. For me she ruins everything she is in.
Worst by far - Kirsty Allsopp and Phil Spencer (They both have such an air of self congratulatory smugness about them).
The others:-
Corrie whenever Antony Cotton's on it. For me he's put the idea of the positive portrayal of a gay character on TV back about 30 years, (plus, nsurely he's living proof that at some point John Inman must have fathered a child).
Liza Maxwell, Kerry Katona, Peter Andre, Loius Spence, Kaye Burley, Mylene Klass. (Utterly talentless waste of space each one of them).
Ricky Gervais, (not remotely as funny as he seems to believe he is).
Slightly lesser irritants, but still liable to make me instantly switch channels:-
Richard Arnold, Gary Barlow, Denise Welch, Jimmy Carr, Lorraine Kelly, Eamon Holmes and any of the former Spice Girls.
I don't avoid him, I don't usually watch the sort of stuff he's on.
It's the stupid mincing gay man act, I can't take.
He's not stupid and apparently he's accomplished in his day job.
It's his OTT 'act' I can't take, that's what they get him on to do though.
Katie Hopkins, turned up in the opening of This Week, the other week, swore at the TV, the BBC and turned over.
She's just a professional 'controversialist' nothing more, just an act.
Kelvin McKenzie and Piers Morgan, former is a scumbag, latter is an oleaginous scumbag and a p poor interviewer to boot.
