T@ssers of the Year 2010


From the mildly irritating to those you would never tire of hitting over the head, these are people who made 2010 just that little bit more of a pain. But beware - some of them will be back, bolder and brasher than ever, this year too!

TOP TEN T@SSERS:

10. ADRIAN CHILES

Never understood the appeal of this gawky, awkward buffoon and his highly publicised - and highly lucrative - switch to ITV to front their flagship breakfast show was always a disaster waiting to happen. Good.

9. SHAMI CHAKRABARTI

Never slow to offer a soundbite or an opinion on any subject under the sun, young Shami is becoming over exposed - her earnest bleatings are beginning to grate. Enough now.

8. GREG WALLACE

TV presenter and erstwhile greengrocer Greg has become ubiquitous on BBC. That's a pity as his turnip head and irritating voice has ruined some half decent shows. Someone at the Beeb clearly rates the man but for me it's time to put the loudmouth out to pasture.

7. LEMBIT OPIK

One of the few (maybe the only?) Lib Dem to lose his seat at the General Election. Now why on earth should that be? Perhaps it's because this arch self-publicist is completely unbearable? Ignore this man at all costs - the world will be a better place if we do.

6. JOANNA LUMLEY

Yes, this English rose saved the Ghurkas single-handed but enough's enough - she's an actress for goodness sake! In danger of becoming the new Esther Rantzen - and do we really need a new Esther Rantzen? One was surely more than enough ...

5. KATIE PRICE/ALEC REID/PETER ANDRE

Comes as a package. Return to sender.

4. LENNY HENRY

Never understood the appeal of this 'clown' either, but another 'comedian' the BBC seems determined to continue to foist upon a weary nation. As funny as piles, this jolly japester's time is surely up.

3. BRUCE FORSYTH

As above.

2. BILLY 'The Big Yin' CONNOLLY

Funny as he undoubtedly can be, oor Billy's becoming a bit of a bore. Is there anyone Billy doesn't know, anywhere he hasn't been? And what about that strange accent - what's it all about, Big Yin?

1. STUART BAGGS - 'The Brand'

Perhaps the most odious little shit to grace our screens this year, 'The Brand's' weekly performance on The Apprentice made you want to put your foot through the screen. Compulsive viewing - so many truly awful people, so little time - we probably haven't seen the last of this ambitious little chap. Unfortunately.
