While chatting about the popular new ITV show The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, Giles opened up about reading up on the real-life case, in which a man faked his own death to claim life insurance. He said: "I remember reading about it and thinking, 'I wonder if there’s a way out of this servitude of having to earn your money in life. I wonder if there’s any shortcuts,’ and of course, crime never pays."

However, Mary then hinted that Giles has never had to have a job, saying: "But Nutty you’ve had a shortcut, you haven’t had to earn that much money.’ Giles cheekily replied: "I’ve worked every day of my life, Nutty," to which Mary quipped: "In the garden, that’s different."
Giles and Mary discussed their wealth
Mary previously revealed that Giles retired aged 21. While watching a documentary about coronavirus at the height of the pandemic, Mary said: "We'll just have to get herd immunity, it can't kill everyone," to which Giles replied: "Just as I'm starting to enjoy my retirement." Looking surprised, Mary joked: "What retirement? You haven't worked first. You retired at 21, so now you can start working – do it in reverse."

Mary and Giles are firm fan favourites among viewers, and Mary previously opened up about why they affectionately call one another 'nutty'. Chatting to The Daily Star, she explained: "We call each other 'nutty' because we both consider the other to be a bit mad.
"Certainly, Giles has multiple personality disorders so he’s all sorts of people and one of them is a bit of a genius. The truth is we’re both neurotic."
