False picture of Gogglebox’s Mary goes viral again

By | March 8, 2021

A Facebook post shared thousands of times claims to show a picture of Gogglebox star and writer Mary Killen modelling at a younger age.

Despite some resemblance, the picture is not actually of Ms Killen.

The image began to go viral last January. At the time, a spokesperson for Gogglebox was reported as saying: ‘We have checked with Mary and although hugely flattered, it is not her. It is a model called Susan Shaw.’

Ms Shaw was a glamour model who died earlier this year. The photograph of her that has been mistaken for Ms Killen was taken in 1975.
