Gogglebox fans call for Giles and Mary to be axed

Last night’s show saw the couple defended after Mary was accused of speaking to Giles “like a child” by one viewer. Others called out their bickering, asking if it was right for a “family show”.

Every new season I pray they won’t return.

One said: “All families on #Gogglebox are very watchable and often really funny. Apart from Giles and Mary who are really quite strange. Each is as bad as each other. Makes me feel quite anxious when they are quite horrible to each other. Not funny at all.”

Another agreed and said: “Individually they seem pleasant enough but together they argue. My question is, why are they on #gogglebox?
