Gogglebox star shares funeral plans as he makes death | UK News

One star on Gogglebox has said that he will “be annoying right until the very end” as he shared what he did and did not need at his funeral. Channel 4 favourites Giles Wood and Mary eliminateen have been discussing how they might mark his time on earth in Friday’s new episode.

Being filmed in their Wiltshire cottage, Giles told his spouse of over 30 years that he wished to “insist on something” upon his death. He said: “By the best way, Mary, if I do die then I would like to insist on one thing. I do not need Frank Sinatra‘s tune I Did It My Way at the funeral.” Mary quipped back: “You didn’t do it at all, let alone doing it your way!” He laughed before replying: “No, I didn’t do it. Nor do I want Bohemian Rhapsody either.” Curious about how her husband wished to depart the world behind, Mary then requested: “Well, what do you want?” In true Giles fashion, he replied: “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every day by Slade.”

Mary coated her head in her arms as she laughed: “What on earth? That would be so annoying!” But Giles responded with his ordinary dry humour as he declared: “Yes, I’ll be annoying right until the last minute!”

The two stars beforehand opened up on their marriage, admitting that they “hardly talk”. The eccentric couple are identified for making hilarious digs at one another with Giles jokingly saying they’re “incompatible”.

In a latest interview, Mary admitted the pair’s on-screen banter has sparked concern among viewers.

When requested if they consider people can relate to their marriage, Giles commented: “There’s a friction there.” Mary agreed but added viewers wouldn’t like to see them “split”.

“I think they like us for disagreeing agreeably. They like us fighting but not splitting up,” she acknowledged.

Giles adopted up: “When we started, there [were comments about us] on Twitter, and although we don’t watch Twitter, I did look at it once or twice, with morbid curiosity, at three in the morning.”

He added to Idler: “Some were favourable and they said ‘relationship gold’, meaning, ‘I wish I could have a row with my husband or wife and then laugh at it at the end.’ Some families have three-day sulks when they fall out with each other.”
