Gogglebox star Mary Killen has insisted that she and her husband Giles Wood are not 'incompatible' as they opened up about their relationship in a rare interview.

The couple quickly became popular on the hit Channel 4 show for their dry sense of humour when then joined in 2015. Mary and Giles are often seen and heard making hilarious digs at one another as well as showing their care for each other, particularly when Mary gets upset when watching some of the biggest TV shows and breaking news bulletins.

The pair, who have lived in rural Wiltshire for more than 30 years, have just released their latest book, Country Life, and written in their own individual voices in alternating chunks, it follows in the same humorous vein viewers of Gogglebox are used to as they chart their move and the changes to the countryside, the ‘relocated Sloanes’, the ‘poncified’ shopping, the ghostly goings-on, farming shenanigans and village social life.

And I’ve just seen a male blackbird mounting a female blackbird, yes, actual sex happening in front of us." But Mary interjects: "Oh Nutty [their pet name for each other], don’t give the wrong impression." Mary’s a journalist, who formerly worked for Tatler and is currently The Spectator’s agony aunt; Giles contributes to The Oldie although he is a serious fine artist who, she says, needs to work more. "Giles would have done more paintings if he had needed to create a beauty spot rather than just stand in one admiring it," she writes in the book.
