Gogglebox duo ‘to quit show next’ after cast shake-up — and fans will be gutted

Gogglebox duo Giles and Mary have been tipped to quit the Channel 4 show – following Stephen and Daniel’s shock exit last month.

The fan-favourite couple first joined the cast back in 2015 for its fifth series. Since then, the Wiltshire pair have been a staple on the programme and have kept the nation in tears.

But it seems that could all be changing as Mary and Giles have been tipped to quit the series – following in the footpaths of former cast members Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig.

Gogglebox fans were left gutted in September, when the Brighton-based couple confirmed their departure from the show. Stephen has since bagged a role on the upcoming series of ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

Aside from Stephen and Daniel leaving Gogglebox, the show has also welcomed two new cast members Elaine and Seb. The mother and son duo are based in Forest of Dean.

And now, Mary and Giles are said to be following suit to Stephen and Daniel. In an exclusive prediction provided by MyBettingSites, it’s claimed the cherished couple are the most likely stars to leave the show next, with odds of 6/1.

The odds put Giles and Mary ahead of other co-stars David and Shirley and Ellie and Izzie who are at 12/1 and 20/1 respectively. As for iconic pair Pete and Sophie, the bookie has chalked them up at 25/1, followed by national treasures Jenny and Lee with 33/1.

A MyBettingSites spokesperson told Daily Star: "Following Daniel and Stephen's decision to leave Gogglebox, cult favourites Giles and Mary from Wiltshire are priced in as the next couple to call it quits on the show at 6/1. As the family friendly hit reached its 10-year anniversary, others that may decide to throw in the towel are Roisin and Joe, who are 8/1 to leave next.

“Or even David and Shirley at 12/1 to kick back in Caerphilly away from the camera.” The spokesperson added: “Though it's an unlikely option for Jenny and Lee from Hull, who we don't think are going anywhere as 33/1 outsiders."

Giles and Mary have been married for over 30 years. The couple first met at Wimbledon Art School when they were just 21. Giles was studying at the school while Mary was working as a costume model, being paid £4.50 an hour to pose.

They've spent the majority of their marriage living in Wiltshire and have resided in the beloved cottage seen on Gogglebox for 29 years. But their marriage hasn't been without its troubles, and Mary told the Daily Star in 2020 that they had been struggling to maintain their romance before Gogglebox.

She said: "Giles and I were like ships that pass in the night. I got up early, he went to bed late and we rarely even ate together." However, appearing on the show seemingly saved their marriage.

She added: "I know a few couples who have split up because they have decided they can’t stand one another. Sitting down and watching television reminded us how much we enjoyed the same jokes."
