Gogglebox stars Stephen Lustig-Webb and Daniel recently announced their split after six years of marriage. The pair were pictured separately without their wedding rings, with Stephen taking his dog for a walk and Daniel heading to the hair salon they co-own in Sussex. They shared on Instagram that they were planning to divorce but would remain friends, seemingly separating amicably. Stephen first appeared on Gogglebox more than a decade ago alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed, with whom he later split. After leaving the show, Chris retired from fame and currently lives a quieter life with his new husband in rural Wales.
Stephen and Daniel, who left Gogglebox last year, revealed their divorce news on Instagram and were seen out in Brighton enjoying a day together. They seemed to be taking the split in stride as they posted a video of themselves riding a tandem bike, making light of the situation. Stephen shared with The Sun on Sunday that they decided to part ways because they had grown apart, though there will always be love between them. Daniel expressed that the decision to divorce was made with a heavy heart, but remained hopeful that they would still be friends. Both were spotted without their wedding rings following the announcement.
In unfortunate timing, Stephen had to withdraw from the 2024 series of Dancing On Ice due to a broken ankle sustained during training. He had been eagerly preparing for the competition and was getting to know the judges and other celebrity contestants when the injury occurred. Stephen was rushed to the hospital, where he was told he had broken his left ankle and would need surgery to insert metal plates for support. Despite the setback, Stephen remained in good spirits and expressed his devastation over the incident, as he was forced to withdraw from the competition.
Stephen’s departure from Dancing On Ice came as a blow to him, as he was thoroughly enjoying the new challenge and looking forward to the competition. He had broken his ankle while turning on his skates during training and had to undergo surgery to repair the injury. Despite the disappointment of having to withdraw, Stephen had no choice but to pull out of the show. He received support from the Dancing On Ice team and was wished well for his recovery. Stephen was known for his TV appearances, including his stint on Gogglebox and his brief involvement in the figure skating competition.
Stephen and Daniel’s split follows their six years of marriage, during which they formed a close bond and shared a business together. They were seen separately in public sans their wedding rings, signifying the end of their relationship. Despite the emotional decision to divorce, they appeared to be handling it with grace and even posted a lighthearted video together on social media. Stephen’s injury during Dancing On Ice training added another layer of challenge, as he had to give up his spot in the competition due to a broken ankle. Despite the setbacks, both Stephen and Daniel seemed determined to move forward positively in their respective paths.
