Now then, who doesn't like celebrity couples - especially of the British variety?!
Pick three from the list.

I voted MeAgain and Prince Cuck, just because they seem like a right pair of *rseholes.
I voted Eamonn Holmes coz he’s a fat git face. I have no idea about his wife. Though I think she might also be some sort of TV journalist.
And I voted Neil & Christine because I found them hideous ten years ago. Just no class whatsoever.

Neil and Christine have plenty of votes. #metoo They just used to be on everything didn’t they. If you had a TV program called “I’m a celebrity and will eat dog**** butties for screen time.” They’d have been on it. They were just embarrassing. A real match made in hell. |

Being American I don’t know how some of these couples are annoying but it was still easy to pick three and extremely easy to cast the first vote. 😊

Gawd only know why they are still famous - he was found out taking money for cash for questions back in the 90s, left politics and went on TV portraying himself as the world's worst loser, only to return to politics many years later. His wife sprang out of nowhere, joined him on TV and the two of them ended up pretty much doing anything for money. Dreadful people but incredibly people still vote of this ____ . He's actually from Blackwood in South Wales, which isn't too far from my old stomping ground - no time for this rubbish whatsoever. |

I'm sure Meghan and Harry are playing a joke on everyone as their behaviour has been so odd over the last few years!

Now that (least favourite presenters), is probably a death match of its own that is. Noted. |

I think Paul and Linda McCartney should be added to that list.
First of all, with the utmost respect, Linda just struck me as being someone who had got very, very lucky and had absolutely no talent. She also came across as very self-righteous and holier than thou. I would doubt that she really contributed much to those songs she supposedly wrote with Paul... a few words here and there probably. And she was the prime reason that I simply couldn't take Wings seriously... you had Macca, some bl**dy great musos and then Linda, standing there shaking a tambourine or, at best, playing single notes on a keyboard. OK, she's dead now, so sorry for speaking ill of her, but, again, she just got lucky and that was it.
Paul likes to push this 'cheeky chappy' persona, but we all know that he's a ruthless control freak who is very good at manipulating the press, media and people. I think this became apparent when he decided to reorder the song-writing credits on those Lennon/McCartney songs and thus, on a live album at least, they became McCartney/Lennon. A bit crass, eh Paul? And then there was the time he told everyone, on the Jonathan Ross Show, that the reason Linda only used one finger when she was playing was because she used a 'monophonic' synthesizer. All I'll say is, polyphonic synths were also available! And by allowing Linda to join the band, he did himself (and the rest of the band) a serious disservice.
In closing, I've got nothing personally against Macca, his Beatles stuff is brilliant, but as a couple, I thought Paul and Linda were tiresome. I'll also speculate that Lennon and McCartney were probably in competition with each other to see who could have the most talentless and embarrassing wife. I wouldn't like to say who won.

Some interesting points raised there fordcapri.
I agree that both Paul & John involved their wives in post-Beatles work, over & above other great musicians as you say.

Neither Linda nor Yoko was/is British, plus one of each couple is dead so they're hardly the most annoying UK celebrity couple. But if you're looking at the top annoying celebrity couples of all time, John and Yoko would definitely be towards the top of my list.
FWIW my view of Linda has mellowed over the years - I think her involvement in Wings was largely at Paul's insistence rather than any claim on her part to be a musician. After The Beatles split Paul was probably the one who struggled most without the others, he wanted to be in a band rather than a solo artist, and beyond the first couple of 'McCartney' solo records he was branded 'Wings' with a load of sidemen until 1980. He still has a regular "band", the same 4 sidemen have been with him for 20 years now, and Wix Wickens the keyboard player/musical director has been Paul's keyboard player since the 80s.
People forget that Linda met Paul through being a photographer and rather lost her own career when she became Mrs McCartney. I also think she did a lot for making vegetarian food accessible to the masses - people forget that before her range there was no Quorn or any kind of veggieburgers, veggie sausages etc unless you made your own with a horrible packet mix. She always came across to me as rather unpretentious and not really one for the limelight.
