Why don't we see Giles and Mary's children on Gogglebox?

Giles and Mary's daughters prefer to stay out of the limelight.

Giles was originally set to appear with his youngest daughter on Gogglebox, but she turned him down. Mary was eventually convinced to take part after a 40-minute long conversation with show bosses.

Do Giles and Mary's daughters live with them at 'The Grottage'?

No. We do know that their daughters are grown up and no longer live at 'The Grottage' with their parents.

The much-loved couple recently announced that they are considering leaving their famous home, adored for its rather eccentric décor.

In an interview with The Telegraph, the couple confessed that they have no central heating, paint was peeling from their ceilings, and they even made their own double glazing using bubble wrap.
