Gogglebox favourites Giles Wood and Mary Killen have delighted their online followers by sharing a rare throwback photo alongside their two daughters who have never made an appearance on the popular show.

The couple, who have featured on the award-winning series since 2015, took to their Instagram page earlier this month to share a black and white photo from when their now grown up daughters were younger.

Giles and Mary captioned the photo with: 'Giles & Mary with their daughters. Hope you enjoyed #Gogglebox last night, nutties! #GilesandMary'. (sic)

Fans were quick to comment and like the cute photo, with many revealing they didn't know the couple had children.

One user wrote: 'Great pic didn’t know they had daughters', with another adding: What a beautiful family! ❤️'. A third then wrote: 'Such a sweet picture 🥰'.

Although not much is known about Giles and Mary's two daughters, it turns out one of them was actually due to appear on Gogglebox alongside her dad Giles, before pulling out of the show ahead of production starting.

Thankfully for fans, Giles and Channel 4 bosses were able to convince Mary to appear.

Check out the real jobs of the Gogglebox cast below:

Ellie and Izzi Warner

Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner from Leeds first joined the show back in 2015.


Izzi welcomed her baby girl, Bessie Rose, in February 2020, and after making a living as a nail technician has now qualified to be a mortgage adviser.

The Siddiqui family

The Siddiqui family, made up of Umar, Baasit and their dad Sid, have become Gogglebox legends since joining the show back in series 1.

The Malone family

The Malone family, made up of Tom, Julie, Tom Jnr and Shaun, are one of the most popular families with fans. They first joined the cast in 2014.


As often documented on the show, Tom Jr is a professional dancer, but he also works as a freelance model! In March 2021, he announced he would be a chair-tester for an office supplies company, before quitting Gogglebox to pursue other career options.


His brother Shaun is a football coach, whilst dad Tom is a lorry driver and mum Julie is a receptionist.

Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig

Stephen Webb has appeared on every single series of Gogglebox, and in 2019 his husband Daniel Lustig joined him! The pair chose to leave in 2023, with Stephen announcing he was set to appear on the 2024 series of Dancing On Ice. Unfortunately for Stephen, he was forced to withdraw from the show after breaking his ankle.


The pair both work as hairdressers.

Dave and Shirley

Welsh couple Dave and Shirley, who have been married for over 40 years, first joined the show back in 2015.


Shirley works in retail and Dave is a factory worker.

Tremaine, Twaine and Tristan

Tremaine, Twaine and Tristan, brothers from Bristol, joined back in 2016, but the trio didn't appear on series 15.


Whilst Tremaine is a chef, Twaine is a winger for Hereford FC and Tristan used to be a semi-professional footballer for Bristol FC but is now playing for Bitton AFC.

Giles and Mary

Gogglebox fans fell in love with Giles and his wife Mary when they joined the cast in 2015.


Although it's not known what he does for a living, in series 15, Giles revealed he actually retired at the age of 21. Meanwhile, it's understood Mary writes as an 'agony aunt' for an online magazine.


The married couple are also reportedly good friends with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Jenny and Lee

Best friends Jenny and Lee first joined the show on series 4 back in 2014.

Sue and Steve

Married couple Sue and Steve first appeared on the show back in 2019.


Steve is a taxi driver in London.

If you're fan of the show you'll be aware both Giles and Mary also refer to each other by the name 'Nutty', and typically not their actual names, leaving fans wondering for a number of years what the nickname is all about.

Late last year, Mary finally gave us answers, telling the Daily Star: "We call each other 'Nutty' because we both consider the other to be a bit mad.

"Giles has multiple personality disorder so he's all sorts of people and one of them is a bit of a genius. The truth is we're both neurotic."

Gogglebox continues every Friday night at 9pm on Channel 4.
