Gogglebox's Mary Killen says break up forced Giles Wood to make two huge changes


Gogglebox stars Mary Killen and Giles Wood have been married for more than 30 years - but Mary has admitted that their 1985 split gave Giles 'a stab at happiness'

Although Mary had a penchant for the "Johnny Depp types", husband Giles, who bore a resemblance to the famous Milkybar kid, wasn't exactly her go-to choice in a man. Their love grew stronger, leading to Giles's romantic gesture of sending flowers to Mary at her journalist post at Tatler Magazine to pop the big question. Recalling this pivotal moment in a chat with The Telegraph, Mary recounts how Giles levelled up, embracing style and ambition: "When we broke up in 1985 you suddenly became very competent; you got new, chic clothes and started working hard."
