I know this is very odd one but Rylan Clark. I know he has weird teeth and is probably annoying to a lot of people but I really like him. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and doesn't take himself seriously at all. There is just something really likeable and charming about him

Nothing odd about that, I think he’s wonderful. He’s a great host of Ready Steady Cook as he asks the chefs loads of questions about how and why they’re cooking stuff the way they are and it makes it really educational.

He does a very enjoyable science podcast called Eureka if you enjoy his work. He seems pretty sound. 

He did another one before that called Science-ish which was basically the same thing but based around the science in movies and TV shows which is equally as good.

That's a very good one. I judge people who whinge about Rylan. Guy is funny as fuck. 

[Dead Mike]

I know a couple of people who have worked with Rylan on separate occasions and both have confirmed he's absolutely sound and very funny. It's always nice when someone you want to be lovely turns out to be.

Edit: double Rylan, double fun.

Yeah Rylan is great. When he talks about football (mostly due to his connection with Cinch) it kills me.

Responsible for one of the funniest moments ever on TV as well.

Yeah, on paper Rylan has all the hallmarks of your typical reality tv wanker but he’s genuinely likeable and is a good host of the type of shows he’s on.  Keeps the Mrs happy when I’m listening to Radio 2 as well.

Does he? I mean, that IS surprising.

I have a lot of time for Stephen Mulhern. He's got that early evening light entertainment TV presenter schtick down to a tee and he's completely self aware of it. He hams it up and plays up to with a wink and a nod which you can tell when watching In For A Penny.

There was a show years ago, probably more than a decade, where Stephen Mulhern presented one of those additional shows for Britains Got Talent (think Big Brothers Bit on the Side and other shows like that). It was absolutely hilarious and the highlight of my week back then. I can’t comment on any of his new things but if you can catch any of that somewhere I highly recommend it!

I was in a lift with Rylan once, he seemed proper sound from what I gathered in a very brief interaction/overhearing him chatting to someone else.

Paul Hudson.

He does the Weather on Look North - which is Yorkshire's local news show after the 6pm news.

Thoroughly nice man it seems, who does a feature on photos of weird clouds and shit that local numpties like me have sent in.

Most of you wont know him, but I'm eagerly awaiting his spiel about the wind today.

Tom Cruise.

 Yes, he’s a top Scientologist wierdo, and adjacent to some bad shit.

 But he makes great films - as well as being the last proper film star, he’s an incredible producer and has launched many good actor’s careers.

 He always comes across well in interviews, is an enthusiastic film buff, and everyone I know who’s worked with him says he’s an absolute pleasure and a professional.

I met him one on the stairs at Shepperton, he’d taken over half the post production building for one of his movies, I played it cool and nodded and so did he, and on that basis we are mates.

[Mr_Danger]

Cruise is a great call. There’s an absolute weirdo hidden away under that skin but he’s brilliant at keeping it at bay. Anyone that high up in such a shady organisation must have some proper dirty shit on their shoes. Xenu obviously has his back.

[Devon Malcolm]

Strong rumours lately that he's left Scientology but both sides have chosen to keep it quiet because of the amount of stuff they have on each other. Rumours I choose to believe because that's how much I've watched Mission: Impossible.
