I think some [but definitely not all] viewers find it hard to accept that other people aren't as cynical and mean-spirited as they are. For example, if you identify with Katie Hopkins and her approach to social processing, which is to judge and to look for the worst in people in order to make you feel better about yourself, then you're going to struggle to take Keith at face value.
And I think some [but again not all] of KH's supporters, need to find something wrong with Keith to justify both her behaviour towards him and their support of her. Classic psychological bias, looking for and finding non-existent evidence to shore up one's view.
And obviously there'll be some for whom he's just not their cup of tea, independent of who else they like. Bland maybe, needing to be liked, a wuss, etc etc.
