A star from the popular show Gogglebox recently opened up about his decision to leave the series. Stephen Webb, who first joined the show in 2013, revealed the specific reason behind his departure after being a part of the show for a decade.
As a hairdresser by profession, Stephen initially appeared on Gogglebox with his friend Christopher Steed. Later, he shared his opinions on TV shows with his mother Pat Webb, and then with his now ex-husband Daniel Lustig from 2019 until 2023. Last year, the couple announced their departure from the show, stating that they wanted to explore other opportunities.
However, Stephen, now 52 years old, has now shared that he actually wanted to leave because he was getting tired of his own jokes. "I thought, 'I just can't go back, I'm sick of it,'" he revealed. "I reached the 10th anniversary of Gogglebox and started feeling like Ken Barlow, the character from Coronation Street who has been on the show since day one. I was churning out the same old jokes. I would even apologize to my fellow cast members, saying 'Sorry, you've probably heard this 10 times before...' But for some reason, they never seemed to catch on."
Stephen also mentioned that this year, he lost both of his parents, which made him want to take on new challenges. One of those challenges turned out to be his appearance on the upcoming season of the popular dating show, Celebs Go Dating. Interestingly enough, this will also be the first time he appears on screen with his ex-husband Daniel since their split last year.
About six months after leaving Gogglebox, the couple announced their separation after being married for six years. They shared that although there was still a lot of love between them, they had grown apart and decided to part ways. Shortly after, it was revealed that Stephen would be a part of the Celebs Go Dating cast, alongside other well-known names like Helen Flanagan and Love Island's Chris Taylor.
Sources close to the former couple have shared that they have remained good friends despite their breakup, and were happy to share their experiences with the Celebs Go Dating team. It seems like their open and honest relationship will make for some emotional and compelling viewing.
The show's dating expert, Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, has also shared that Stephen's journey on the show has been one of the most fun, dramatic, and emotional experiences she has ever watched. She even admitted to tearing up multiple times while watching. The Agency has reached out to Channel 4 for comment on the upcoming season of Celebs Go Dating.
