Giles Wood and Mary Killen are two of the much-loved stars of the Channel 4 programme Gogglebox.
The husband-and-wife duo, who refer to each other as 'nutty', have been married more than 30 years.
Every Friday night, we see a glimpse into their homelife inside their cluttered Wiltshire cottage, with the odd snippet shared of their personal lives, Manchester Evening News reports.
Giles met Mary when he was 21 while studying at Wimbledon Art School when she was a model, the Mirror reports.
Mary is now the Spectator's resident agony aunt and writes a column using her etiquette expertise - as well as being the author of many books, including 2012's How the Queen Can Make You Happy.
While Giles contributes to online magazine The Oldie, he retired at an incredibly early age and has a rarely-mentioned second job.
When watching a documentary on coronavirus, Giles remarked: "Just as I'm starting to enjoy my retirement."
But Mary quickly shot back: "What retirement? You haven't worked first.
"You retired at 21, so now you can start working – do it in reverse."
When he's not commenting on the latest telly, Giles works as an artist, and has his own website showcasing his work.
He enjoys painting the clutter of peoples' lives and popular demand has recently led him away from his trademark landscapes to specialise in interiors, he says.
"I like the contemplative aspect — sitting for several days in a room, watching the light change," a statement on the website says.
"There are as many changes as with a landscape. I always work in oils as they give more depth. The finished painting should offer an insight into the painter as well as the subject."
His artwork includes beautiful paintings of homes and landscapes, with some framed prints selling for up to £250.
Although the couple are considered the posher stars of Gogglebox - and are even said to be friends with Boris Johnson - their home has fallen into a state of disrepair.
Last year, it emerged that their old cottage needed urgent fixing and a few years prior, the couple revealed to The Telegraph that paint had started peeling from their ceilings.
They were once forced to create makeshift double glazing with bubble wrap.
At the time, they also shared that the property had no central heating and claimed that their kitchen was full of mould and dubbed it ‘worse than Benefits Street.’
While the period property is reportedly worse for wear, Channel 4 viewers do get a peek at the gorgeous cottage with a thatched roof from the outside.
It's been Mary and Giles' base for more than 28-years, and sometimes their sleepy dog appears in a guest appearance.
However other family members aren't shown.
They have two grown-up daughters - and one of them was actually due to be partnered with Giles for the show.
She in the end decided not to take part, but thankfully Giles managed to convince his wife to come on board after a lengthy phone call with producers.
Little is known about Mary and Giles' daughters, but it has been revealed that they are both grown and no longer live at the cottage.
In the cute throwback snap posted on Instagram in May last year, the doting parents could be seen cuddling up to their two girls in an old black and white snap.
Lots of people commented on the cute photo - and many were actually swooning over a youthful-looking Giles.
Mary previously revealed that one of their daughters would occasionally "turn on" Giles for swearing.
Speaking to The Guardian about banning swearing in their house, Mary explained: "There’s so much on telly, I don’t want it in my own cottage.
"Giles swears occasionally because he’s always having minor accidents. Our children turn on him and tell him off. Poor Giles."
While the couple do occasionally bicker when appearing on Gogglebox, fans love how they refer to each other as 'nutty'.
The pair have since addressed the endearing reference behind the pet name and explained that they are simply both a bit 'neurotic.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Mary said: "We call each other 'nutty' because we both consider the other to be a bit mad.
The television star added: "Certainly 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."
