Ever since they joined the cast of Gogglebox back in 2015, married couple Mary and Giles Killen have certainly been fan favourites;with their witty comments and hilarious conversations leaving us in stitches.

But if you're a fan of the show you'll know both Giles and Mary also refer to each other by the name 'Nutty,' leaving us wondering exactly what their affectionate nickname's all about.

Well now, folks, we have ANSWERS.

Mary opened up during a recent interview with the Daily Star, revealing, "We call each other 'Nutty' because we both consider the other to be a bit mad."

She then went on to say, "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."

During the candid interview, Mary also admitted taking part in Gogglebox has 'saved' the couple's marriage, as they used to be like 'ships that pass in the night'.

She told the publication, "Giles and I were like ships that pass in the night. I got up early, he went to bed late and we rarely even ate together."
