HEARTBROKEN: Gogglebox Star Mary Killen REVEALS Devastating Health Battle that Stuns viewers
Gogglebox favourite Mary Killen has confessed she “becomes argumentative” when her vaping pods run out.
The 67-year-old, who features on the Channel 4 programme with husband Giles Wood, disclosed she became hooked on vapes after sampling a friend’s son’s device “a couple of years ago”.
“I loved inhaling the odourless air and blowing it out again,” Mary revealed. “It just looked so chic and felt cooling in the palm of the hand.”
Writing in her fresh You Magazine column, Mary continued, “Nicotine is highly addictive, and I now waste about £14 a week on four Juul replacement pods, each one delivering roughly the same amount of nicotine as 20 cigarettes.
“And the addiction is a problem, because if I run out of replacement pods, I become self-pitying and argumentative,” reports the Mirror.
The cherished television personality went on to detail her attempts to give up vaping owing to insufficient long-term studies into its health implications.
Nevertheless, she quipped that she’d “probably kill or be killed” by relatives if she abandoned vaping entirely and went “cold turkey”.
Mary, who was raised in Larne, Northern Ireland, currently resides in Wiltshire with her spouse and co-star Giles, having joined the programme in series five back in 2015.
The pair have established themselves as familiar faces on Gogglebox and are recognised for their sharp wit and forthright views. Earlier this year, during an interview, Mary offered fans a glimpse into her life with Gyles at their home, affectionately known as The Grottage.
She revealed that she and her husband have a laid-back attitude towards cleanliness and are comfortable with their dogs sharing the bed with them.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said, “I know many hosts won’t even let visiting dogs on the sofa-but we don’t mind them in the beds.
“From my experience, most of the concerns hosts have about house guests revolve around cleaning. We have a cleaner once a week, and the cottage is far from sparkling.
“I too used to worry about it,” she confessed before adding: “But it has become clear over the years that, as long as guests feel confident they will not get food poisoning from our ancient kitchen, they are more than happy with the rest of the shabbiness and discomfort.”
