Couple Giles Wood and Mary Killen are firm favourites on the Gogglebox sofa - and Mary joke on a previous episode that Giles 'retired at 21'. She made the comment as the pair watched a coronavirus documentary.
Giles said: "Just as I'm starting to enjoy my retirement." To which Mary replied: "What retirement? You haven't worked first. You retired at 21, so now you can start working – do it in reverse."
However, Giles' personal website reveals he has another job as an artist and he explains what draws him to painting, reports the Liverpool Echo. He said: "I like the contemplative aspect — sitting for several days in a room, watching the light change. 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.”
