Gogglebox Stars Stephen Lustig-Webb and Daniel Divorce After Six Years of Marriage
Gogglebox stars Stephen Lustig-Webb and husband Daniel have announced their decision to divorce after six years of marriage. The couple, who have been part of the Channel 4 programme since 2019, have shared their separation news.
Background and Relationship
Stephen, 52, and Daniel, 48, have been prominent figures on Gogglebox, appearing alongside other well-known pairs such as Dave and Shirley Griffiths, Izzy and Ellie Warner, and Jenny Newby and Lee Riley.
The couple made a joint statement last year, expressing their desire to explore new opportunities, which led to their departure from the show. They had gotten engaged in 2016 and exchanged vows in 2018.
Announcement of Divorce
Stephen shared, “It’s with much sadness 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.”
Departure from Gogglebox
Stephen and Daniel left Gogglebox abruptly in September last year, citing the need to explore new avenues. Stephen, an original cast member since 2013, had previously appeared on the show with Christopher Steed. Following Christopher’s exit in 2017, Stephen’s mother Pat Webb joined him on the series.
Daniel joined the show in 2019, continuing the on-screen partnership with Stephen. However, Stephen’s participation in this year’s Dancing On Ice was cut short due to an injury.
Conclusion
While the news of their divorce has saddened fans, Stephen and Daniel have expressed gratitude for the support and love they have received. Gogglebox continues to air on Channel 4 on Fridays at 9pm.
