Gogglebox stars Giles and Mary look adorable in unearthed 90s throwback snap

Gogglebox stars Giles Wood and Mary Killen look utterly adorable in a throwback snap from the nineties.

The much-loved pair, who have been on the Channel 4 show since 2015 are fan favourites thanks to their relatable relationship.

No strangers to a bit of back and forth jibing, Giles and Mary may not scream romance - but roll back 30 years and they looked like love's young dream.

In the snap posted by the Instagram account @giles__wood a very young Giles can be seen nursing a glass of wine while he tenderly holds Mary's hand.

Mary, meanwhile, who looks gorgeous with long auburn hair, sun hat and black and white blouse lovingly touches Giles' leg.

Giles, who may well be sporting the same glasses he wears on Googlebox, looks very bohemian with knitted hat, polo shirt and shorts.

The couple actually met when they were both 21 years old while Giles was studying at Wimbledon Art School and Mary was working as a model.

The eccentric pair, who live in a fancy farmhouse in Wiltshire, have entertained Channel 4 viewers since with their witty one-liners and wallpaper that matches their furniture.

Joining the likes of Gogglebox stars such as Izzi and Ellie and Jenny and Lee, the couple are among the show's favourites for their hilarious takes on each week's TV.

However, while we know them as professional armchair critics the duo also have quite an interesting life off-screen.

Aside from starring on the show, Giles is a reputable artist and also contributor to The Oldie magazine. Whereas Mary is a journalist and often writers for The Spectator.

While the pair is often considered one of the poshest on the show - and are even said to be friends with Boris Johnson - it recently emerged that their house was looking a bit shabby.

Speaking to The Telegraph some years ago, Mary and Giles revealed that the paint had started peeling from their ceilings and they were once forced to mock-up double glazing with bubble wrap - dubbing their home 'The Grottage'.

At the time, they also revealed that the property had no central heating and claimed that their kitchen was full of mould and ‘worse than Benefits Street.’

While it may not provide the lap of luxury, the home as remained the couple's base for more than 28 years where they work as well as record Gogglebox.

Mary and Giles often refer to each other a 'nutty' when they're on the show - much to fan's delight.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Mary once said: "We call each other 'nutty' because we both consider the other to be a bit mad.
