It has been revealed that Gogglebox stars Stephen Lustig-Webb and his husband Daniel are getting a divorce after six years of marriage. The news has come as a shock to fans who have grown to love the couple's dynamic on the popular Channel 4 show.
Stephen, 52, and Daniel, 48, have been a part of Gogglebox since 2019, alongside other fan-favorite duos such as Dave and Shirley Griffiths, sisters Izzy and Ellie Warner, and best friends Jenny Newby and Lee Riley. However, the couple announced last year that they would be leaving the show to explore other opportunities.
Sadly, Stephen and Daniel have now confirmed that they are going their separate ways, after getting engaged in 2016 and tying the knot two years later in 2018. In a statement, Stephen expressed his sadness over the decision, but also acknowledged that they have grown apart and decided to part ways.
Despite the end of their marriage, both Stephen and Daniel have stated that they will always remain friends. Daniel told The Sun, "We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end. I’m sure we will forever be friends."
The couple's departure from Gogglebox last year was also a surprise to fans, as they cited a desire to explore other opportunities. In a statement on Instagram, Stephen explained, "After careful consideration, Daniel and I have decided we will not be returning for the new series of Gogglebox. We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities."
Stephen, who has been a part of Gogglebox since its first season in 2013, originally appeared on the show with his former partner Christopher Steed. When Christopher left in 2017, Stephen's mother Pat Webb joined him on the show for seasons 10-12. Daniel joined Stephen on Gogglebox in 2019, and the couple quickly became fan favorites.
In addition to their successful run on Gogglebox, Stephen was also set to participate in this year's season of Dancing On Ice. However, he was forced to withdraw due to an injury. The Agency has reached out to Stephen's representatives for comment on the couple's divorce.
Gogglebox airs on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can contact the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing or calling, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
