Next up on the agenda, we have a bit of drama from Gogglebox star Stephen Webb. He definitely raised a few eyebrows with his recent comment about Lauryn Goodman's alleged affair with footballer Kyle Walker on Celebs Go Dating. As you may recall, Kyle was caught in a cheating scandal earlier this year when it was revealed that he fathered Lauryn's second child while still with his wife Annie Kilner.
The couple had already welcomed their first child together, son Kairo, in 2020, but it seems Kyle and Annie were on a temporary break at the time. However, he later apologized to Annie, admitting to making some "idiot choices and decisions." On the show, Stephen, who is 53 years old, shocked viewers when he made a sly dig at Lauryn and the whole affair drama. "So, what's your type, Lauryn?" he asked her. "Besides married, of course."
His comment caused quite a stir among fans, with many expressing concern for Lauryn's well-being after Stephen's remark. One user even called Stephen a "dirty old man" and another questioned the decision to have Lauryn appear on the show during such a sensitive time.
Last month, Lauryn and Kyle were in court over their ongoing dispute regarding child support for their one-year-old daughter, Kinara. Viewers were quick to criticize Stephen's comment, calling it "uncalled for." Lauryn had previously publicly confirmed Kyle as the father of her child, even sending a text to Annie in December to inform her.
The judge ruled in Kyle's favor, stating that he had acted with "dignity and generosity" and was not convinced by many of Lauryn's claims for extravagant items. Kyle was ordered to pay £12,500 per month in child support, as well as other fees for items such as a car for the nanny.
As for Stephen, his comments and behavior on the show have sparked backlash. He even broke down in tears while admitting that he feels like he comes across as an "old pervert." In one episode, he directed sexual questions at a date, leading to the other person feeling humiliated. However, Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson defended Stephen, saying that the negative feedback he has received is far from the man she knows. She is looking forward to seeing his progression on the show.
