Gogglebox 2021: Mary under fire for ‘men don’t giggle’ comment

Mary and husband Giles were back for the series return last night

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.
