They went on to tie the knot and have been married for more than 30 years.
In 2020, Mary admitted that appearing on Gogglebox with Giles had saved their relationship from fizzling out.
She told the Daily Star: “Giles and I were like ships that pass in the night. I got up early, he went to bed late and we rarely even ate together.
“Sitting down and watching television reminded us how much we enjoyed the same jokes.”
Since landing their part on Gogglebox, Mary and Giles have won viewers’ hearts with their eccentric fashion and wacky comments to each other.
The couple, from Wiltshire, are also famed for calling each other “Nutty”.
Giles and Mary decided they were “both a bit mad” so felt the nickname suited them.
- Gogglebox continues at 9pm next Friday on Channel 4
