Mary had previously explained to the Daily Star the story behind their now-famous nickname. She said: “We call each other ‘nutty’ because we both consider the other to be a bit mad.” She went on to say: “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 stars Giles and Mary have previously shared how their time on the popular show ‘rescued their marriage’. Speaking to MailOnline, Giles said: “Working together on Gogglebox watching telly at the same time meant Mary and I suddenly no longer lived like two intimate strangers. “Mary working from 6am till 8pm, then falling asleep slightly drunk at 9pm; me gardening from 1pm till 3.30pm, when I have lunch, and then going to bed at two in the morning after watching vintage horror films. It has definitely saved our marriage.” In addition, it was revealed that one of Giles and Mary’s daughters nearly made an appearance on the Channel 4 show with her father but pulled out at the last minute. The new series of Gogglebox continues at 9pm on Fridays, Channel 4
