Helen Skelton.

Phil Spencer.

Nicky Campbell.

Noel Edmonds.

The smug, greasy little tosser who presents Rude Tube.

Clarkson & Matt Baker obviously.

Whoever else comes up in this thread, Stacey Dooley really is an order of magnitude worse. It's a bonefide mystery that she continues to find work.

Stacey Dooley is a bit of a conundrum - on the face of it she is a complete loon, but I watched the show she did on Greece and in the end she asked some questions that other presenters have shied away from. I reckon she's not as daft as she sounds - but by ghod does she sound daft!!

Adrian Chiles - doesn't matter what he's presenting, he just smothers it in his "can't be bothered, don't really care" demeanour.

Feltz.

Normally I'd be on the Clarkson bandwagon too, but I'll give him leeway for PQ17 and the VC thing. Top Gear is tiresome bilge, however.

That cookery fella with the black greasy hair. Nigel Slater.
Ok so he can cook a bit, but do we have to have superzoom close-ups to see every pore on his smug, lipless FACE?

more to the point - who would trust a skinny cook?

Thats not to say his content isn't great - he can write really well about food but he can't convey it well on camera. Presenting is a skill/profession in its own right and sadly he'd be better off putting his words in someone else's mouth.

That Ortis fella who did the gadget show. I seem to remember some real car crash telly where he was presenting athletics.... I think he was actually replaced soon after... Not seen him since actually.

Oh and the Winkleman woman... Can't stand her.

Most of the previous seem to be personal like, rather than incompetence. Clarkson FFS! You may think he's a ****, but he's a great presenter.

Anyway, nothing can compare to this:

Winkleman and Davina McColl, although it is hilarious that at an early point in their careers some old hand has told them that gurning makes them look interesting as a joke, but they still continue to believe it. It is the equivalent of an apprentice being sent to stores for a left handed screwdriver or a tin of tartan paint, and still asking if they are in stock yet, 30 years later.

Still not as bad as Gabby Logan, though.

Anyone associated with football on ITV.

In fact, come to think of it, anyone on TV that isn't Jeremy Clarkson or Alex Zane.

In Winkleman's defence (of her gurning, not of anything else) that searching squint she does into the camera is because she's practically blind, something like -14 eyesight, so struggles with the camera cue's, floor managers signals and so on.

Pretty much anyone who started out on Radio 1 or Blue Peter in the last decade
Bruce Forsythe is well past it now
That family fortunes Kaye bloke and his equally detestable wife
Richard Hammond (nominated purely for Wipeout, nothing else)

Let it go man! Clearly those scars run deep, but she hasn't worked as a presenter for over a decade - so unless theres a channel I don't know about that airs 12 year old episode of You've Been Framed then your safe to switch the telly on again. 😆

Another vote for that awful Welsh woman on the One Show - she's the main reason I cannot bring myself to watch it. Oh and can I add a weather presenter? For those in the North West, that Eno woman, I can't stand her accent and why does she dress as though she's off out to a night club? Just wear some normal clothes for god's sake!

The greengrocer from Masterchef and his mate with the fat mouth

The Shouty Chefs. They're the victim of over-stylised production though - particularly the grotesque reaction shots, because all the other presenters of that show end up looking the same.

[img] [/img]

Michelle Roux Jr is worse

[img] ?w=460&h=250&crop=1[/img]

I'm reminded of those old photos of the poor guy getting is his brain zapped by Duchenne de Boulogne

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

There just seems to be a point during the filming of Masterchef where they just get the present to pull as many faces as they can to create an image bank of concerned faces to edit in later

Chris "the Hawk" Hawkins - presents the pre-breakfast show on 6music in the week, sometimes gets the breakfast slot when the admittedly not great Keaveney is away.

Absolutely terrible - sounds like he's got a cold all the time and talks in a weird stilted rhythm that has no link to what he's actual saying. Basically unlistenable. I set my radio alarm to a different station if it will wake me up to his show. Terrible.

Quite liked his railway journeys series tbh.

No votes for Trinny and Susannah? I used to quite like Trinny's "small tits and no bra" thing, but I've even been put of that by the rubbish that comes out of her gob.

Plus he's been doing it for years - remember ch4's "the Word"? Even earned a broadcasting standards' rebuke for using the F word on a pre-watershed trailer.
