On the most recent instalment of Gogglebox, viewers tuned in to watch the Channel 4 stars react to the latest TV antics.
As the show kicked off, viewers were left in stitches over a comment made by Mary Killen while watching a scene from Coronation Street.
During the moment, Weatherfield resident Abi Webster encountered a moment with someone after a minor crash. However, the situation quickly escalated when he suggested having an impulsive sexual encounter.
Watching the scene unfold in the soap, Gogglebox’s Mary couldn’t hold back her outrage at the surprising proposition. She comically responded: “What makes you think I’d be interested in barnyard sex at such short notice?”
Her remark also left husband Giles taken aback as he gazed at the telly, utterly flabbergasted by both the soap scene and his wife’s response.
It wasn’t long before people watching took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Mary’s hilarious reaction.
One person said:”Mary calling that flirty Corrie scene barnyard sex is hysterical. She is odd but so funny. Why barnyard?? Lol.”
Another person wrote: “‘Barnyard sex at short notice’ – Giles and Mary are national treasures. Never change.” A further fan commented: “I swear Giles & Mary have their own dictionary! Howling!”
This quip from Mary quickly solidified its spot as one of the evening’s standout phrases, reinforcing the couple’s status as show favourites among the audience.
Since 2015, Mary and Giles have been staples of the Gogglebox cast, consistently drawing attention for their sharp wit, gentle squabbles and astoundingly candid takes.
Speaking to Hello! in the past, the duo opened up on how the show helped their relationship. Giles said: “Working together on Gogglebox – watching telly at the same time – meant Mary and I suddenly no longer lived like two intimate strangers. It has definitely saved our marriage.”
Mary has candidly discussed their dynamic as well, describing Giles as a “retired man of leisure,” and affectionately nicknaming him “Nutty” during the show.
However, it wasn’t just Mary who had viewers laughing with her off-the-cuff remark. During the show, the Malone family watched footage of the Blue Origin rocket and compared it to an explicit toy.
People watching were quick to comment on the remark as one person said: “Classic Malone humour.” Someone else wrote: “Having a good old laugh at this. That’s exactly what I just said.”
Gogglebox continues Fridays on Channel 4 from 9pm.
