Gogglebox stars Giles and Mary bickered on last night’s show (March 19) after she told him off for “being nasty” to Prince Philip.
The telly faves got into a debate after watching footage of the 99-year-old prince leaving hospital.
While other Gogglebox stars praised the prince and said it was nice to see him out of hospital, Giles offered a different viewpoint.
What did Giles and Mary say on Gogglebox?
The clip from BBC News showed Prince Philip leaving hospital after his month-long stay.
As the Gogglebox stars expressed their happiness at seeing him leave in a car, Mary said: “He still looks handsome.”

However, a different view saw the prince look gaunt and pale.
“He looks a bit different there,” Mary added.
It was then Giles that chipped in: “He looks a bit reptilian.”
Mary told Giles to stop being nasty
The news report then went onto explain that the Duke of Edinburgh was only 90 days away from his 100th birthday, a milestone he was determined to celebrate.
“Let’s just hope he doesn’t choke on a lozenge, Mary,” Giles said, bizarrely.
Oh, stop being nasty.
“Oh stop being nasty,” Mary snapped back. “Why would he even have a lozenge?”
“When you get to old age, there’s all sorts of hazards,” Gile replied.
