Gogglebox viewers call for Mary and Giles to be axed
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one Gogglebox viewer said: “Hard not to hate Giles & Mary.

“Every new season I pray they won’t return.
Another added: “Can’t believe how insufferable Giles and Mary are.”
One more said: “I don’t know what irritates me more, Mary or Giles.”
A final Channel 4 viewer added: “Please get rid of Giles & Mary.
“He’s alright but she is just miserable.
