April 28th 2024.
Stephen Lustig-Webb, known for his appearances on the popular TV show Gogglebox, recently enjoyed a weekend in London. Despite the fun he had, trolls on social media attacked him for posting a photo on Instagram after his divorce was announced.
In April, the 52-year-old star revealed that he and his husband of six years, Daniel, had made the mutual decision to separate. Despite the split, the former couple has remained on good terms and even joked about their separation on social media. However, some trolls have unfairly criticized Stephen for enjoying his weekend out with friends in Notting Hill.
Thankfully, many Gogglebox viewers have come to Stephen's defense and expressed their support for him. One Instagram user, Jade Wilson, slammed the trolls for being quick to judge and called their comments ridiculous. Others, like Louise Arthurs and Katie May, urged the trolls to mind their own business and let Stephen enjoy his weekend.
Echoing Jade's sentiment, Louise Arthurs wrote, "Jesus, cut the guy some slack!!! He's allowed to go out and enjoy himself, be it a date or a meet up with a friend. You people make me laugh. Mind your own beeswax. @stephengwebb1971, enjoy your weekend mate." Katie May added, "The judgies are out in force today. Conclusions jumping more than an Olympic Trampolinist. Have a lovely time, Stephen. Xx."
Stacey Hammond also chimed in, agreeing with Jade and Louise, and commented, "None of you know exactly how long ago their marriage broke up, none of you know him on a personal level, so stop acting like you do. It may be a friend, a partner, or other. Who cares? It's none of our business."
Despite their divorce, Stephen and Daniel remain the best of friends. The ex-couple even joked about their separation on social media, with Daniel mocking alongside a video of Stephen cycling: "Riding tandem straight out of this marriage." Stephen also shared a photo of them together on his feed, celebrating a loved one's birthday.
In separate statements, the TV stars announced their divorce in April but vowed to remain friends. Stephen said, "It's with much sadness that Daniel and I have decided to divorce. There is, and always will be, a lot of love there, but we've unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways." Daniel added, "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 quit Gogglebox in September of last year to explore other opportunities. Stephen and Daniel had been on the show together since 2019, with Stephen being an original cast member since season one in 2013. After his former partner Christopher Steed left the series in 2017, Stephen's mother Pat Webb took his place. Daniel joined Stephen in 2019, and they appeared on Gogglebox alongside other fan-favorite duos like Dave and Shirley Griffiths, sisters Izzy and Ellie Warner, and best friends Jenny Newby and Lee Riley.
Stephen was originally set to appear on this year's season of Dancing on Ice but had to withdraw due to an injury. Gogglebox is available to stream on Channel 4.
