Stephen Webb, 54, has blasted his brief romance with David from Guernsey as a total non-starter. The former Gogglebox star met David on E4’s dating show in 2024 and was quick to label him a “hottie” and “something special”.
But the fizz fizzled fast. On October 1, news broke that Stephen had split from David after discovering the man was juggling other men and swiping on dating apps behind his back.
“The whole David thing was – I was part of a TV show. I wouldn’t say we were together at all. No,” Stephen exclusively told BANG Showbiz.
Single and loving it
Despite travelling from his Brighton home to Guernsey to see David, Stephen is now dipping his toes cautiously back into dating – but isn’t rushing into anything. He admits he’s happy flying solo for now.
“I’m just dipping my toe back into the dating pool. I’m actually not really looking to meet anyone. I’m happy being single for now,” he said.
The 2024 Dancing on Ice contestant, who split from ex-husband Daniel Lustig-Webb earlier this year after six years, loves the freedom of single life.
“I just love that I can do what I want, go where I want, please myself, eat what food I want, watch what TV I want to watch.”
“Before I was married, I always travelled alone – solo to Mount Everest base camp even. I’m really good with my own company.”
Still mates with ex Daniel – and living together too!
Stephen and ex Daniel remain the best of friends – and still share their home, despite calling time on their marriage in April 2024.
“I’m still living with Daniel. We’re the best of friends,” Stephen said. They also co-own two hair salons in West Sussex.
Stephen Webb quits Gogglebox – says he got bored of repeating himself
Stephen also revealed why he left Gogglebox at the end of 2023. The star grew tired of recycling the same jokes over and over.
“I got to the 10th anniversary of Gogglebox and started feeling like Ken Barlow – there from day one, churning out the same old sh**,” he told The Mirror.
“I was getting bored of my own jokes. For example, putting a doughnut in my mouth must have been done four times – it still made every show!”
Stephen and Daniel announced their departure on Instagram: “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.”
