Celebrities you hate but didn't always dislike

Ray D'Arcy. He was great on kids tv. Now he's smug and boring. Can't stand him.

Used to like Sinead O'Connor until all the attention seeking stunts.

B.A._Baracus · 09-04-2020 11:26pm

Used to like Stephen Fry a lot actually.
Thought he was a funny and a smart individual. After seeing him so much I started to realise he is not really that likeable.

Pretentious is a word I'd use. But given his nature if he wanted to call someone the same he would choose some random obscure word to showcase his 'intelligence'

There was a great line is a newspaper column a few years ago that went ‘no one is more aware of Stephen Fry’s national treasure status than Fry himself’.

I think he seems an intelligent and talented enough guy but i could never fully take to him as his oily smugness is off the scale.

There is a clear winner in this thread, and I'm gonna give him another vote, Ray Darcy

Loved him on The Den and Blackboard Jungle, and then his radio show was initially excellent. What a miserable, smug, pontificating arsehole he is now

pgj2015 · 10-04-2020 1:08am

The worst i have seen darcy was when he interviewed pamela anderson, he was such a dick.

Badly Drunk Boy · 10-04-2020 1:22am

Rachel Riley, even though she was a Man United fan, I thought she was alright. But then she went all militant Jew-woman, anti-Corbynite in everything she had to say.

(By the way, one of my favorite words is 'Jewess' which I was going to use but some people would probably get upset.)

He's a complete and utter cliche of what some jocular, middle aged, middle class Irish bloke is meant to be like, I'd be shocked if the dick isn't lycra clad and flying around Sandymount Strand on a racing bike every Sunday.

Total charmed life twat as well.

Has to be mairead ronan. The took me ages to decide on a house. Lived on the back of Ray darcy. Now the today fm show has to have hi mairead I'm balling my eyes out here etc. Over Xmas said I'm off to New York for a week do people want to know. We all know your married to a multi millionaire.

Hector Ó hEochagáin. Hate doesn't enter into it, just find him irritating. His travel show 'Amú' on TG4 back in the day was great lark in its ramshackle approach, relying mostly on the the force of his personality. With acclaim grew exposure, and soon Hector was everywhere. His manic energy began to grate as the charm wore off. I can only tolerate him nowadays in very small doses.

Same here. He's really gone full mentalist in the ladt few years. I'm a huge Smith's fan and like his early solo stuff but he's a massive bellend.

TBH, I'd expected this to be the reason for the thread being started. Was I just an uncultured swine back in the early 2000s, or was he much better back then? Don't remember shows being devoted to porridge and running

This.

I only found out who this woman was yesterday,

In the car coming back (with dog food) and she was on the radio complaining about how her husband Birthday was ruined because no hotels were open due to virus. All about poor husband. I thought it was someone messing. Horrible snob.

Ray was a very good kids presenter on tv and when he moved to radio his show was good, very light and easy listening but somewhere along the way he started to think he was a journalist and some sort of life coach. He at that stage became a pontificating gob ****e. His talk show on tv is just misery.

Oh really, poor man. You would think a hotel would have opened up just for him. Cue the violins.

I use to like James Cordon but the guy is such a faker, like I'd still watch Gavin & Stacey but just couldn't watch anything where he is the ball licking persona he puts on.

Yeah I initially enjoyed his TG4 travel shows but then he started popping up all over the place and his persona really started to grate. That "Ta me ag teacht" thing became his version of Des Bishops immersion joke for a while. He'd say it every time he made an appearance.

It goes to show you that you don't actually know the person so you can't technically love or hate them as they don't exist. You love or hate a figment of your imagination not the real person.

Once, Joe Duffy was semi decent to listen to as liveline presenter: in the 1990's or around1994 to be precise.

Darren Frehill: sports news presenter on rte radio 1
He now makes sure to completely glorify and canonize whatever GAA allstar /Munster Leinster Rugby player / Golf / etc he is talking about

Still trying to pass "when yo say nothing at all" off as his song, apparently change some lyrics for the virus.

Graham Linehan is the first one to come to mind. I understand trans issues can be a sensitive topic but he made it his permanent obsession, shouting down anyone (not just trans people) disagreeing with him to the point where the police had to intervene.

Pretty sure she supports the Lib Dems, not the Tories.

She did seem a bit obsessed with Corbyn, the t-shirt stunt was pretty low. Then again, it's understandable why someone with Jewish heritage would be wary of him; he may not be anti-Semitic but didn't exactly do a great job in tackling those accusations.

Wanderer2010 · 10-04-2020 7:16pm

Used to really love Tommy Tiernan when he was fresh, natural and relevant back in his early days as stand-up and on tv. Then his need to be cool and liked by all sectors of society destroyed all of his innate comedic talent and he relied completely and totally on cliched satire of the church and the scandals in Ireland to get a few cheap laughs, not to mention a new habit of throwing the F word into every sentence in an attempt to be cool..:mad:

Then he became that other gormless fool Hector's sidekick and that wiped any remaining respect I had for him altogether. Shame, he had a lot of potential but he should have just called it a day when he ran out of material.
