Gogglebox's Giles and Mary 'pay off mortgage' thanks to savvy use of TV income
ok.co.ukGogglebox's Giles Wood has revealed that he and his wife, Mary Killen, have been able to pay off their mortgage after starring on the hit show for eight years.
Giles, an artist, and Mary, a writer, have kept audiences entertained for years with their hilarious takes on British TV, all from their rather kitsch Wiltshire home.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland’s The Afternoon Show podcast Giles opened up on their success due to appearing on Gogglebox, as he said: “I think we were able to pay off the mortgage.” He added the pair “kept quiet, very quiet" about their earnings, saying: “I leave all the paperwork to Mary, because she’s more interested in the details of life.” Giles also said that he and Mary are surprised when people recognise them due to the quiet life that they lead - when not appearing on TV.The couple met when they were just 21 years old, and they bought their home together more than 30 years ago.
