The latest episode of Celebs Go Dating had viewers on the edge of their seats as Gogglebox star Stephen Webb broke down in tears after his date called him "totally inappropriate." The 53-year-old TV personality recently went through a split with his husband of six years, Daniel Lustig, and is now taking part in the Channel 4 reality show.
On the episode, Stephen was faced with his dates, Dean, a driving instructor, and Ben, a footballer. Dean expressed feeling humiliated by Stephen's behavior and the latter couldn't hold back his emotions, saying he felt like an "old pervert." He added, "It's hard. It's really hard. I'm a hot mess. My head's all over the place. I feel like my whole personality has been destroyed."
The emotional moment continued as Stephen reflected on his dates in a confessional, saying, "And now I'm just feeling really deflated. I don't know where to go next." Luckily, he was comforted by Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson who assured him that he's a "lovely guy" and promised to help him communicate better for a "positive next phase."
When the cast sat down to discuss their dates, Dean told the group that Stephen was "crude and close-minded" during their time together. He also mentioned that Stephen had asked him if he "w**ked in the back of [his] car" and spoke about his "hot c**k." Many viewers took to social media to express their disappointment with Stephen's behavior, with some even saying they would have just walked out on the date.
However, others showed empathy towards Stephen, with some saying it was too soon for him to be on the show after his recent split. A spokesperson for Celebs Go Dating addressed concerns about Stephen's behavior, stating that they have robust protocols in place to ensure the welfare of everyone involved in the show.
