Gogglebox favourites speak out on show future after revealing they’ve had ‘other offers’
GOGGLEBOX favourites have spoken out on their future on the show after revealing they’ve had ‘other offers’.
The Channel 4 show features members of the public from around the country watching the latest happenings on TV.
Many have become stars in their own right, including Giles and Mary, who now get recognised all around the world thanks to their time on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Mary said: “People come up to us and say, ‘We love you on Gogglebox’. We get recognised even when we’re abroad.
“It’s happened in Italy, Belgium and Australia. It’s surprising. And it’s people from all walks of life.
“It’s surreal because we didn’t know they could watch Gogglebox there. But they tell us they illegally watch it on VPNs.”

The couple enjoy the fame that comes from being on the show, and admit other opportunities have come their way off the back of it.
Mary said: “We have been offered other shows. But we’re happy with Gogglebox.”
Speaking about what makes them a fan favourite, Giles said: “People enjoy my humour. They like it when sparks fly.
“Marriage is a contrast – it’s a meeting of opposites.
“All sorts of people come up to us and say we’re their favourites on the show. But they probably say that to all of the cast.”
Meanwhile, former Gogglebox stars George and Joe Baggs have landed a huge new media job over Christmas.
The pair are set to be a part of Radio 1’s first ever TikTok takeover on Christmas Day.
George, 20, and Joe, 25, have landed a huge new gig and are set to the airwaves from 3:30pm.
The pair are set to give “fans the opportunity to hear their favourite TikTok stars in a completely different light”, according to the broadcaster.
Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 and is available on All4.
