Gogglebox’s Mary and Giles look worlds away from the show sofa on day out in London
GOOGLEBOX’S Mary and Giles looked unrecognisable from the show during a day out in London.
The Channel 4 stars had a great time in England’s bustling city.
The pair are most known for their humorous one-liners and light-hearted sparring while watching the greatest TV moments of the week in their cottage living room.
However, on Wednesday, Mary and Giles looked worlds away from their well-known Wiltshire “grottage” when they went to an appearance on Heart radio in Leicester Square.
The duo made an appearance on Heart’s Breakfast show and flaunted their eye-catching clothes.
Mary put on one of her well-known eccentric ensembles, which included a red tartan skirt and a matching beret.
Giles followed his wife behind while carrying their bags as they left the studio.
He was dressed in a grey wool v-neck jumper with a pink and white striped shirt underneath.
Giles finished off the look with a blue jacket and pair of black glasses.
The Grottage, the couple’s property in Wiltshire where they have lived together for more than 30 years, is where they call home.
Giles was an artist before becoming famous on Gogglebox, while Mary is a journalist who contributes to publications like The Spectator.
This comes after the Gogglebox legends teased a major move after eight years on the popular Channel 4 reality show.
Writing in their book, Country Life: A Story of Peaks and Troughs, which was released this month, Giles says: “Were I a shrub, I would say I have only tentatively put down roots here in Wiltshire.
“They are not yet thick or stubborn enough to prevent me from uprooting myself for the final chapter of my life. After 30 years, I am now ready to transplant myself again.”
Mary continues: “As a woman who can’t drive, I have been exiled these past three decades to a village without a bus service. It means that, over the years, I’ve missed at least 600 London parties, gallery openings and book launches, to say nothing of memorial services and lectures and art exhibitions.”
Rather than spend their later years away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Mary suggests they intend to embrace a faster pace.
She says: ‘I’m certain that a London dwelling would be the best choice for the final decade of life. It’s too much of a nuisance to visit someone who lives in the country, no matter how much you love them. Our friends and family are always in London and would be 20 times more likely to come and see us there.”
