For me it's Paddy McGuinness.
Talentless ,over the top , I quite like most from up north but he just grates . Even if he's a guest on a show that I normally enjoy I turn off .
Who is your most hated , annoying. ?

I’ve always quite liked him and after listening to his autobiography, I liked him a bit more. Hearing the stories about his early experiences with Peter Kay was funny to say the least. Wasn’t a fan of him on top gear though.

The person that irritates me the most is Tom read Wilson. Just his voice grates on me terribly

Radio 3 presenter Petroc Trelawney

An insufferable air of superiority in everything he says, compared to other R3 presenters like the very lovely Katie Dereham and the (sadly now retired) Sean Rafferty

That Tom Read Wilson bloke - on bloody everything it seems with that wky voice of his. Why do the TV companies just seem to latch onto someone and then expose us to them to death. Paddy McGuinness is another one, and Katherine Ryan. Oh and Danny 'I'm a Geezer me' Dyer and his daughter. Ugh. Chuck 'em all off a cliff please. More Victoria Coren-Mitchell please instead! smile

Rachel Reeves and Bridget Phillipson. Two utterly inept, clueless and arrogant women promoted far above their capabilities who sneer about the impact of their actions. I don't watch TV so other than the occasional moron YouTube presenter that my son watches, the world of celebrity rarely enters my life.

This is why I don't watch TV. When I grew up, pop stars wrote their own songs and could play instruments. Now we celebrate those who simply cover songs. My Dad calls them karaoke muppets and likens them to Thunderbirds dolls on string.

Look at Strictly. Gushing praise for failure and being inept.

Vine is one of about half a dozen people who I would refuse to resuscitate as I would think the world would be better without him.

For me, it sounds like your pick is Paddy McGuinness, talentless and over the top, even on shows you usually enjoy. My most annoying or hated presenter would probably be someone who constantly interrupts or overacts; in general, it’s the ones who draw attention to themselves rather than the content that get under my skin the most.

I don't mind Paddy, he is often putting on an act everytime we see him on tv, so we can't judge him too harshly, he does a podcast with Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes and he isn't massively irritating on that when he's being himself, he does seem to swear a lot for no particular reason though.

I don't mind Danny Dyer either.

Edit: I forgot Richie Anderson, the geezer who reads out travel bulletins turned 'celebrity'

Jeremy Vine, Alan Carr, Rylan Clark etc. In fact pretty much all "celebrities" who are famous for being famous with no discernible talent. This applies especially to those who have appeared via programmes such as TOWIE and Love Island etc... and then there are "influencers"...

This, he speaks as if he is talking to a room full of three year olds.... Hello everyone, today I am in a field with a cow, cows are lovely aren't they. Cows produce milk, do you put milk on your breakfast ladies and gentlemen? I bet you do.

I can't stand more than 30 seconds of his talking style.

Oh and anyone overly northern, Peter Kay, eh up everyone, I'm from t'up norf, int that hilarious...

No Peter it isn't funny at all.
