What did Giles do for a living?

Giles Wood managed to retire at a young age thanks to a lucrative job. Giles first burst onto the screen with his wife, Mary Killen, in 2015 and were instantly welcomed up by fans for their dry, sarcastic commentary. Their affectionate dynamic toward one another is picked up in every episode but very little is known about their personal lives.

• The couple met when they were in their early 20s when Mary was acting as a model and Giles studying at Wimbledon Art School.

Though she continues to work, Giles has had a much easier time, managing to ‘retire at 21’ thanks to his job as a painter. While watching a documentary on coronavirus on the Channel 4 show, he said: “Just as I’m starting to enjoy my retirement.” Mary said: “What retirement? You haven’t worked first.

1. You retired at 21, so now you can start working – do it in reverse.” He may have been able to kick his feet up at a young age but on his personal website it reveals that the star is a skilled painter, with his prints selling for £250.
2. He enjoys painting the clutter of peoples’ lives and popular demand has recently led him away from his trademark landscapes to specialise in interiors.

On the site, Giles said: “I like the contemplative aspect — sitting for several days in a room, watching the light change. “There are as many changes as with a landscape. I always work in oils as they give more depth. The finished painting should offer an insight into the painter as well as the subject.” His artwork includes beautiful paintings of homes and landscapes, with some framed prints selling for hundreds.

At the time, she complained to her followers: “Hi guys, story time with Paige Deville as always, you know I’ve got to give you all a weekly update.

By the end of April 2023 that will be at 25 per cent. We were never going to get away with furlough, people getting paid for free to sit and home and do nothing. We’ve now lost that much money they’re now coming at the business owners, so that’s great.

Are the Siddiquis still on Gogglebox

Derby-based family the Siddiquis have been appearing on the hit TV show Gogglebox for a decade now. Dad Sid and his sons Umar, Baasit and Raza made their first appearances on the Channel 4 show back in 2013. Over the years, they have cemented themselves as fan-favourite cast members.

As one of the original Gogglebox families, the Siddiquis were pioneers for the series when it first started. Sid, Umar and Baasit continued to be regulars on the latest series (the 21st) of the award-winning show. While Raza departed after a couple of series, he has been back on the sofa for occasional appearances.

READ MORE: Gogglebox Siddiquis give two weeks’ notice ahead of massive challenge To the delight of their fans, they have confirmed they’re sticking around to appear in the next series, the Daily Star reports. Speaking during an Instagram question and answer session, the Derby-based chaps also confessed there was something about filming the ever-popular series they didn’t enjoy too much – all the sex talk. Gogglebox stars Raza and Baasit Siddiqui from Derby have teamed up to run 100 miles in a week for two charities (Image: Baasit and Raza Siddiqui / JustGiving) The brothers did go on to say: “We like to watch a variety of things and Gogglebox does allow us to watch stuff we possibly wouldn’t have.” The popular family have been on the show for 10 years now, the only people on the cast to have been on since series one apart from quick-witted hairdresser Stephen Webb.

Fans of the programme love the Siddiquis for their dry sense of humour when watching what’s on their screens. Now, during filming, Umar and Baasit will sit down with dad Sid, with brother Raza making occasional appearances, twice a week for the show. The family are some of the most iconic Gogglebox stars on the cast, alongside the likes of Pete and Sophie Sandiford, from Blackpool, and Jenny and Lee from Hull.

Umar told Radio Times earlier this year: “What we do is very simple – it’s just blokes talking in front of the camera. The genius comes afterwards, with the editing. Each bit of it is like a long joke told by several different families. And then one family is given the task of the punch line.” And while some cast members have gone on to try and further their stardom, like Scarlett Moffatt, the Siddiquis have no intention of doing so.

• Raza told the publication: “The way I see it is I’m going to go and meet Dad and Umar and Baasit, we’re going to watch TV.
• And we’re going to take the mick out of each other and enjoy ourselves.” Bassit also explained how the family got scouted for the show.
• He wrote: “I had a friend I used to work with when I was working in a video shop (showing my age) and she was working with Studio Lambert at the time when the Gogglebox idea was born and they were trialling the show and looking for family’s etc – and she suggested us!” Bassit then added: “I don’t think anyone thought it would grow into what it has and still be on TV 10 years later.” He also said daughter Amelia “loves” filming the series and hoped to make another appearance on the show soon.

But son Theodore is not so keen. Baasit said: “Theodore just thinks it’s a normal day at Grandad’s.” Raza and Baasit are to team up to run 100 miles in a week for two charities later this month. The brothers will take on the difficult challenge from Monday, May 29, to Sunday, June 4, and are hoping to raise £4,000 in the process.

1. The pair chose Melbourne-based ‘Me & Dee’ as one of the two charities they will raise money for.
2. The run will also raise funds for an education charity called Education Support.
3. Bassit has worked in education for almost 15 years.
4. You can donate to Raza and Baasit’s JustGiving page here,
5. Gogglebox continues to air on Channel 4 and All 4 each Friday from 9pm.
