Gogglebox 2021 star Mary Killen has been criticised by viewers for saying “men don’t giggle”.
During Friday night’s show return, Mary and husband Giles were reacting to a scene from Mediums.
It saw a family trying to get in touch with late loved ones as a medium called Nicole started to talk in a deep voice.
