James Blunt more irritating than Chantelle and Traffic Wardens!!

Singer James Blunt is more irritating than traffic wardens, noisy neighbours and estate agents, according to a poll ranking the UK's most annoying things.

Blunt came fourth in the survey of 2,000 people, beaten only by cold callers, caravans and queue-jumpers.

Big Brother's Chantelle and Preston were eighth in the poll by Lactofree.

Other entertainment figures in the survey included Countdown co-presenter Carol Vorderman at number 12, who was deemed more annoying than paper cuts, rude shop assistants and junk mail.

Former Celebrity Love Island star Abi Titmuss ranked at 18, with illusionist David Blaine and newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky further down the list.

Blunt was removed from one radio station's playlist after what it claimed was listener pressure.

Now I'm no fan but come on he's hardly that irritating.

The Top Ten was:-

1. Cold callers
2. Caravans
3. Queue-jumpers
4. James Blunt
5. Traffic wardens
6. People who tailgate
7. Brown-nosers
8. Chantelle and Preston from Big Brother
9. Ex-smokers
10. Noisy neighbours

How can this list not contain Mariah Carey and anyone off X Factor?
