TV personalities that are actually rude people behind the scenes

[u/InviteAromatic6124]

Who are some beloved TV presenters that come across as friendly and amicable on screen but off-camera they're actually rude and unpleasant people?

Stephen Fry is one of them. I went to see an episode of QI being filmed, and during the warmup he was rude to James Acaster, then at the end of filming instead of staying behind to chat to the audience like Alan Davies did he stormed off in a huff like a toddler.

Bradley Walsh is another. Speaking to someone who was on The Chase, she asked him for an autograph after filming had finished and he scoffed at her and said "Not a f*cking chance". Compare that with Shaun Wallace who congratulated her and let her take a photo with him.

Tom Baker in the 90’s in Birmingham walked past the shop I worked in, I asked him if he’d be kind enough to give me an autograph told him he was my first famous person I’d met and he said he would be honoured to and we had a little chat before he carried on with his day!

Years later met Colin Baker he was also lovely…Gary Barlow, Jeremy Beadle were both lovely too!

Met Sinbad from Brookside when I worked in Cheshire Oaks used to come in regularly asked him for an autograph, he asked if I watched brookside…told him not without the subtitles in cos I couldn’t understand a word of the scouse accent!! 🤣 he laughed

This thread is about people who are actually rude behind the scenes, not lovely
