An Appreciation Of 'Gogglebox' Newcomers Mary And Marina

’Gogglebox’ has a history of making unlikely stars, and newcomers Marina and Mary from Bristol are already our favourite thing about the show at the moment. 

The pair only joined the hit Channel 4 show last year, but already they’ve won everyone over with their West Country charm, witty one-liners and their adorable friendship.

In fact, we’d go as far as saying they’re making up for the fact Scarlett Moffatt and her parents’ backsides are no longer parked on the sofa. 

So without further ado, here’s 12 reasons why we love the Bristolian BFFs so much. 

1. It may have puzzled scientists for years, but they reckon they know how to successfully perform a head transplant

2. They’ve got politics sussed

3. Their hot take on Brad and Ange’s split was the best

4. There’s nothing more they love than a hot builder

5. Actually, we think they might like Butlers in the Buff a bit more

6. Mary is practically the new Jilly Goolden 

7. They dislike X Factor’s Six Chair Challenge as much as everybody else

8. But they get a lot of joy from watching Ed Balls on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’

9. Don’t be fooled by their cuddly exteriors, this pair can lie better than Pinocchio 

10. They don’t much care for modern dating

11. But they wouldn’t say no to a French man

12. And having both been widowed, we’re so glad they have each other <3 <3
