Over the years IAC has had its share of wildly irritating campmates - Burger van Day, Gillian McFake, the Price woman, Jan Leeming, Joe Bugner all spring readily to mind.

But was Kendra Wilkinson the most annoying yet? The way she followed up everything she said with that nervous laugh, the endless "Ohhh Myyy GUAAAARRRDD", the bleating on about being a young mother and "I'm doing this for my kids"... (yeah riiiight).

I honestly never thought they would top BvD and Pwicey in the utterly risible stakes, but IMO they may just have succeeded this year.

Gemma Collins outdid Kendra on the irritation front - and she was only there for 3 days!

Janice Dickinson

...no... Gillian McKeith

For me it's either Jimmy Bullard or Natalie Appleton, both were a pain to watch.

Van Day was the only contestant to really annoy me, almost to the point of not being able to watch him.

I just found Kendra incredibly boring more than anything else tbh.

That's a fair point. I'd forgotten about her, which says quite a lot.


Janice Dickinson was loud and brash, but the difference for me was that she didn't take herself too seriously. She was perfectly knowing and candid about what a pumped-full-of-silicone cartoon character she was. In my eyes, gave her a certain bizarre sense of wry, watching-through-the-fingers endearment.

In contrast, Kendra seems to take herself deadly seriously. You can imagine her going to some godawful sweatshop or dilapidated tenement block and still being (loudly) convinced that being paid to have a few cockroaches dropped on her makes her far worse off...


To be honest she was so pathetic that I think it's probably unfair on the word 'irritating' to bracket the two together

I didn't mind Kendra, and didn't really find her too irritating. I don't think she is a horrible person, she just knows how reality tv works and how to get the attention. I think she's ultimately harmless and she seemed to get on with most of camp (except Edwina).

The most annoying was Van Day, I nearly stopped watching that year it wasn't entertaining.

The banging of the saucepans and yelling every morning did it for me. Most irritating - Jimmy. Followed by Gillian McKeith and Gemma. Oh..and Christopher Biggins, Joe Swash and Matt Willis. Plus Nadine Appleton, Kerry Katona and the soap star whose name I can't remember, who beat Ashley Roberts.
Then there was the punk rock star who does butter adverts, John Lydon, plus Tara Palmer Tompkinson and Helen Flanagan. There are probably more but mercifully, they've faded from memory.

Antony Cotton anyone?

Helen Flanagan, Kerry Katona, Jimmy Bullard.

Biggins - that voice and there was a truly vile fashion presenter whose name escapes me.

generally I like the irritating ones - some of the people mentioned on here have been my favourites for providing cringeworthy moments Jan Leeming, Gillian McKeith, David Van Day for example. And Janice Dickinson was one of my all time favourites along with Tara Palmer Tomkinson. Darren Day was pretty annoying though.

David Van Day was the main reason I watched that season, I found him very funny, although I would have hated to in the jungle with him.

The Appleton one was the one that grated on me, and the woman who was in the same one as Van Day and was later in CBB and shredded the letters. I really disliked her and still do.

To this day I still want to slap Helen Flanagan..........hard.

Gillian McKeith without a doubt .

Joe Swash and he is worse now his lack of talent knows no bounds imo Biggins is about as bad.

Just as a matter of interest - was there anyone who you liked ?

Definitely! Its hard to remember how annoying she was because it was only 3 days but watching the coming out show, it all came flooding back. I can only thank gemma for leaving when she did!!

Before last night I had it at level pegging between Gemma, Mel, and Jimmy.
But after the reunion show tonight it has to be Jimmy.

Mel she was so annoying either crying shouting or moaning
Kendra was irritating always looking into the cameras
Antony Cotton was nasty
Paul Burrell was my worse, I couldn't watch him at all!!
Oh and Natalie Appleton and Peter and Katie

David Van Day. Just the sound of his voice wound me up. I've never disliked any contestant as much as him.

really did not like Edwina Currie.

I know McKeith was seen as irritating by many, but I thought she was class. Proper batty. I can still picture those spices she smuggled in in her knickers. mmm Spicy! That faint was funny as ---- too

He wasn't likeable, but his fighting with Nicola McLean did have the entertainment value of watching a fight where you hope both of them will lose.

Very, very lucky Gemma Collins didn't stay any longer though. I seem to remember disliking Robert Kilroy Silk.

I should have added that I was talking about this series.
I didn't realise that the thread was asking for the most irritating ever.

Kendra like ye know like I I I am like ye know like me me me.

and her calling Edwina an evil woman just because she was micky taking her saying `like` all the time. . bit over the top that

Paul Burrell's lame name-dropping and general fake nature got to me big time.

Anthony Cotton was just... Ugh.

Was not a fan of Edwina's constant sex talk this year... quite irritating, like she was trying to create a 'cougar' character or something to be her reality tv calling card.

Helen Flanagan, Natalie Appleton, Gemma Collins, aka the 'why the hell did you agree to the show' crew... I don't mind if campmates are scared of trials, I would be too and I do have sympathy, but when people don't even try that annoys me.

On the flipside though I can't add Gillian McKeith or Sinitta to that list, even though technically I should, because they were both so bonkers I was actually entertained!
