UK's ten most irritating ads last year

The votes are in - in the UK, the ten most irritating ads have been "chosen" by the consumers who watch them.

Apparently, no one can bear the annoying "go on, go on, go on" Mrs Doyle from the Inland revenue tax ads, but wish she would just go away go away go away...

In second place came that chocolate-obsessed woman who can't throw parties quite as cheesy-kitch as the famous ambassador for Ferrero Rocher ...

And not surprisingly, the orgasmic woman barrister who lets down her hair in the Clairol Herbal Essences shampoo ads with the words: "I've got the urge... to 'erbal", is annoying as hell.

Jamie Oliver wears his gloria slightly slanted after reaching the top ten list himself with his campaign for Sainsbury's.
