Fans Call for Gogglebox Star Mary Killen to be Axed After Eurovision Outburst
Fans of the popular Channel 4 show, Gogglebox, have taken to social media to express their displeasure with long-time star Mary Killen following her recent outburst during the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden.
Mary, a resident of Wiltshire, England, was visibly appalled by Finland’s entry for Eurovision, which featured performer Teemu Keisteri appearing almost naked on stage.
Expressing her disapproval, Mary shouted, ‘Oh you stupid little man!’ to her husband, Giles, during the segment. She further criticized the act, stating, ‘It’s when you’ve got no talent, you just try and shock instead.’
Fans of the show were quick to criticize Mary’s comments, with many labeling her as ‘joyless and horrible’. Social media was flooded with comments slamming Mary’s reaction to Teemu Keisteri’s performance.
Viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with Mary, branding her ‘a horrible, joyless h**’ and calling for her to be axed from the show completely. Some fans even demanded a show shake-up, emphasizing their frustration with Mary’s remarks.
Mary and her husband Giles have been part of Gogglebox since 2015, with their dry sense of humor and contrasting opinions garnering a mixed reaction from viewers. The couple is known for their playful banter, often referring to each other as ‘nutty’.
Originally from Larne, Northern Ireland, Mary now resides in Wiltshire, England, with her husband. Gogglebox airs every Friday on Channel 4 and the All 4 streaming platform, attracting a wide audience with its candid portrayal of viewers’ reactions to popular TV shows.
