Gogglebox star Mary Killen has opened up about filming the Channel 4 show for hours every week alongside husband Giles Wood.
The pair, who first joined the show in 2015, weigh in on everything from The Masked Dancer to the day’s news from their home in Wiltshire.
The armchair critics hit screens again late last year to fan’s delight and Mary has now described her love for the job.
In a new interview, Mary described being so comfortable filming her scenes for Gogglebox that she often forgets the cameras are set up around her living room.
“They're filming for 12 hours a week so of course we forget. The cameras are so small,” she explained.
“The point is they want the cast to be as natural as possible, so that's why they film for so long," the star added when speaking with new! magazine.
Mary described her ‘love’ for filming Gogglebox as she gets to do it from the comfort of her home.
She said: “It's a job, we get paid a minor sum and it means I don't have to worry about packing my bag, losing my keys. I just go downstairs and turn on the telly.”
Mary and Giles have been married for over three decades and refer to each other as ‘Nutty’ on the programme, with a familiar rapport that sees Giles deliver quick quips, to be often told off by Mary as a result.
Yet Mary said the pair did used to share the same sense of humour when they first started seeing one another.
She continued: “When I first met him, he was so funny. I was crying with laughter all day, even when he wasn't there.
“A taxi driver said to me recently, 'Your husband makes us laugh'. I said 'He used to make me laugh too!'
“He is still quite funny but when you get to a certain age... We do have a good relationship, but a lot of it is we're two old cats going at each other.”
The pair are very private when not gracing Channel 4 screens, with little known about their lives away from their living room.
Giles, who contributes to online magazine The Oldie, met Mary when he was 21 while studying at Wimbledon Art School when she was a model.
Meanwhile, Mary has been the author of a number of books, including 2012's How the Queen Can Make You Happy.
