Rossendale model Agyness Deyn is 'most annoying'

12:42pm Thursday 1st January 2009

EAST Lancashire supermodel Agyness Deyn has been voted the “most annoying” person of 2008 by a TV panel show.

The former Rossendale chip shop worker scooped the dubious prize on BBC Three’s celebrity review of the year, which counted down the 100 most irritating people of the year.

The 25-year-old, who is dating Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr, beat off competition from Kerry Katona and Peaches Geldof.

Entertainment journalists and critics panned the Valley model for overexposure in newspapers, her fashion sense and recording a pop song.

But the mayor of Rossendale, Coun Christine Gill, leapt to the defence of the model.

She said: “Agyness is around the same age as my daughter and her brother came to a playgroup I ran. The whole family were really nice people. I wouldn’t describe them as annoying at all.

“Agyness has certainly put Rossendale on the map and we thank her for that. She has bought fame to the area and we wish her well for the future.”

While Deyn claimed top spot in the order, which was decided by the BBC, Bob Geldof’s daughter Peaches, was runner-up and Prime Minister Gordon Brown came third.

A series of guests gave their opinion on Agyness during a piece at the end of the show.

TV presenter Michelle De Swarte said: “She is just everywhere, you can’t get away from her.”

Despite coming out on top of a prestigious best-dressed list earlier this year, ahead of Kate Moss, Deyn’s choice of clothes was also poked fun at.

Her fashion sense was likened to eccentric 70-year-old TV personality Johnny Ball and Eastenders star Pat Butcher, while another described her as “dressing like my granddad”.

The model, whose real name is Laura Hollins, attended All Saints' RC High School, Rawtenstall, before going on to take A-levels at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School.

She was spotted as a teenager while working at The Village Chippy, Stubbins.

Since bursting onto the public consciousness last year model Agyness Deyn has recorded a pop song with The Five O'Clock heroes, bagged a pop star boyfriend, and become a constant fixture on the party circuit.

But the quirky blonde model's saturation of the tabloids and gossip magazines has led to her being voted 'most annoying' person of 2008 on BBC Three’s celebrity review of the year, which counted down the 100 most irritating people.

The former chip shop worker from Lancashire beat off stiff competition - including Bob Geldof's socialite daughter Peaches and reality TV star Kerry Katona.

But it appears Agyness is not worried by her new status. In fact the grinning model posed with a badge saying 'Vote Agyness!' at yet another party last night.


The 25-year-old was at tribute to designer Stephen Sprouse hosted by Louis Vuitton at the Bowery Ballroom in New York.

She dressed in a little black dress and graffiti style day-glo shirt and accessorised with an orange crucifix and limited edition Vuitton bag.

[Street_a_Licious]

[vogue28]

she is kind of annoying.

but I do feel sorry for her, when she reads it.

 

[Urban Stylin]

i highly doubt she minds it....its not easy for a model to get publicity.

 

[The_Ida]

She's the most annoying of this decade, no doubt about that

 

[kimair]

[Nemova]

[MissAnia]

Hurray !!!

MODS, can you please close this thread now before it turns into 40 pages of hate mongering. You always complain that people argue too much over certain models (like Heidi Mount) but when it comes to girls like Abbey and Agyness little is done to moderate conversation. Just a request, because it's just sad now.

 

[yellowetpink]

She is annoying

 

[notmanons]

she's annoying, yes, but this is totally embarassing on her...

 

[yellowetpink]

Yeh i think so too, but she seems cool, she'll probably enjoy it take the p*ss

 

[~Gia~]

I thought I was the only person that found her annoying.

 

[MyNameIs]

Ok, now I just feel bad for her.

 

[chrisss]

I really don't get how she is annoying... Overexposed and overused maybe, but not annoying.

 

[iluvjeisa]

^She does a lot of ironic posing and that gets old rather fast. As with the less overexposed Iekeline.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

maybe this is the beginning of the end, I loved her work with Meisel and her Armani ads.. but I agree with the poll, maybe not most annoying person but she is the most annoying model..

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Anyone know why she changed her name?
