TV Progs and presenters you can't stand

Are there any TV programmes you don't mind but cannot watch because of the presenter?

I'm not a great fan of The One Show and often have it on whilst prepping or eating dinner but if that objectionable Dom Littewood Is on I have to switch it off, I cannot bear him at any cost.

Any others you can think of?

:)

    Anything involving Caroline Flack, Jack Whitehall or Nick Grimshaw. I can put up with anyone else presenting.

    George Clarke. Love Restoration Man and Amazing Spaces but just find him really obnoxious and teeth-gritty.

    Also avoid The One Show because of Alex Jones.

    I suppose I should be ashamed to admit this on a show biz forum but I honestly wouldn't know any of the Towie lot if they passed me on the street, I guess I may recognise Amy Childs as she is often pictured on DM SoS, but the others I wouldn't know. Same goes for Geordie Shore or made in Chelsea :blush:

    Top Gear would be a lot better without Jeremy Clarkson.

    Noel Edmonds on Deal or No Deal reminds me of some weird Cult Leader.

    Lilah Parsons who does the UK top 20 on 4 music, her attempts to be ironically funny funny are lost on me.

    Cilla Black....lets hope she's retired with her fake scouse accent.

    Yes, his attitude towards the owners was awful when they complained that he'd went over their budgets for renovating the houses in C4's The Home Show. Horrible man - I completely went off him from there. Ugh. Why do the media think Mr Clarke's every housewife's dream hunk? He's certainly not in my view!

    Hubby can't stand the two in GBBO; Mel and Sue. He quitters on all the way through about them, saying how they spoil the programme. He spoils it for me with his wittering ;)

    Oh gawd! The way this Australian Tango Man presents 60 Minute Makeover just gets on my wick by going on a MASSIVE ego trip doing his 'trademark' thumb print & initalise along with it on any brand new household item/wallpaper near the end of the programme.

    Ant & Dec REALLY rub me up the wrong way. I don't understand why anyone other than very young children would be impressed by their over-rehearsed, babyish twaddle.

    Adrian Chiles was once a down-to-earth, affable presenter but tries too hard to be clever and unconventional these days and therefore comes across as annoying.

    Robert Peston gets on my nerves with his 'singalong' style.

    Aled Jones is just full of fake sincerity.

    Alan Titchmarsh for the same reason as Aled Jones, although in a slightly different way.

    Jeremy Clarkson and his sniggering sidekicks.

    Keith Lemon - another fashionable modern, babyish comedian.

    Alan Carr - another fashionable modern, babyish comedian. I can't stand camp people in general, though.

    Antony Cotton - I'm reliable informed he's a complete arsehole in real life, and that's how he comes across to me. Him being camp doesn't help.

    Russell Brand thinks he's cleverer than he really is. His one gift is vocabulary but he's not a very good debater and often resorts to rudeness or makes irrelevant points in flowery opponents. Unfortunately, a lot of today's young people are impressed and are taken in by his nonsense. He has a very strange relationship with his fans. They more-or-less worship him.

    Richard Arnold - A camp hanger-on who has survived numerous revamps of ITV's breakfast programme.

    I can't watch the programme while he's on it :(
    You would have to laugh at it his concert at Epsom though :D
    Allegedly it was not a sell out :cry: by that I mean, there was no breaking down the gates to get in, but I did have a snigger at the pictures :blush:

    The Beach Boys Concert was chock a block and it was a fantastic night, no security needed, just a great fun filled night.
    Teeny weeny peeda, had to have security in front of the stage, it was so funny to see the pictures on google.
    Can't believe he could compare himself to anyone above Mr. Blobby :o

    Antony Cotton. A living legend according to Cotton himself apparently.

    A terrible actor and a terrible person more like from what I've read

    Alex Jones. I'm sure she's perfectly nice but she's not a good presenter and the tone of her voice goes right through me. Same for Rochelle Humes on This Morning. (Marvin's not very good either but his voice is bearable).
