Channel 4 Gogglebox star Mary Killen has opened up about the 'dismal ending' of her childhood home after she was quizzed about her Irish accent on the latest episode by viewers
On the latest instalment of Gogglebox, Mary Killen found herself in the hot seat as her hubby Giles Wood quizzed her about her vanishing Irish twang. As they cosied up for their usual telly critique, Giles popped the question, "What's happened to your Irish accent, Mary, a lot of people are asking that?".
The conversation comes amid Mary's reflections on the "dismal ending" of her childhood abode, hinting at its downfall at the hands of "vandals" before it met its fate under a bulldozer. The beloved columnist, who has been gracing our screens alongside Giles since 2015 on the Channel 4 hit show, delved into her personal history in the couple's book Country Life that was released last year.
In her memoir, Mary recounted the heartache: "Vandals broke in and tried to set fire to it on more than one occasion. They broke a stained-glass window on the landing just out of malice, not because they needed to come through that window." She also shared: "The church said they had no option but to bulldoze the lovely property."
