Gogglebox fan favourites Giles Wood and Mary Killen are responsible for some of the most ICONIC moments on the show. We love their deadpan sense of humour and of course their iconic armchair that matches the wallpaper.However, in a recent episode, Giles and Mary got themselves into a bit of hot water after commenting on Susanna Reid's interview with Boris Johnson (you know, the one where he didn't know who Lorraine Kelly was).At one point in the interview Susanna told Boris about a 77 year old Elsie, who is struggling with her heating bills.
Elsie is struggling to such an extent Elsie she's been forced to ride the bus all day just to keep warm.Boris Johnson replied that it was him that introduced these free bus passes for the elderly.In response to this line of questioning, Mary said, "I am very sorry for Elsie but Susanna is making out it is Boris’s fault and like he doesn't care."Giles responded by asking Mary, "Whose fault is it?" To which she replied, "Well it is the global situation."These comments angered many fans, who took to Twitter to voice their feelings. One person wrote, "Is Mary being serious? She would NEVER make those excuses for anyone else."Another person added, "Mary cries her eyes out at nothing every week until it comes to real stuff.”Others called for Giles and Mary to be axed from the show.
Someone commented, "#Gogglebox get rid of Mary."Another person was of the same view writing, "Please @Channel4 get rid of Mary & Giles. They are so out of touch & awful."Channel 4 is yet to respond, but based on comments Mary has made in the past of a political nature it seems unlikely there will be any major repercussions for what she has said.From their out of the ordinary jobs to their cute relationship
