Gogglebox fans overjoyed as Stephen Lustig-Webb and ex Daniel reunite for special event after shock split
Gogglebox fans went wild as Stephen Lustig-Webb and his ex-husband Daniel reunited for a very special day out – weeks after their shock split.
The pair, who announced their split after six years of marriage last month, documented their day out at Buckingham Palace after they had been invited to garden party for The Not Forgotten charity, which supports war veterans.
Stephen, 52, and Daniel, 43, – who have left Gogglebox – recorded a video and shared plenty of pics from the grounds of the palace to Instagram.
Stephen said: “So here we are in the glorious surroundings of Buckingham Palace for the annual Not Forgotten Association party."
Daniel then joked: "We are waiting for the cakes and, more importantly, for the servicemen to come in..."
As Stephen explained that he was looking forward to the Beating Retreat – a display of troops beating drums and marching – Daniel jested: "Don't get up and do a dance!"
Fans loved to see the exes still getting on so well, as one person wrote: "Absolutely love to see yous two. Are still gonna remain close friends. both looking gorgeous may I add."
A second person added: "Friendships can still be love, so glad you have both found what works best for you.You both look fabulous!"
A third echoed the sentiment, saying: "Just love you two. So sad you're not on Gogglebox but so lovely to see you're still great friends xx."
Stephen and Daniel's split came months after they announced they would be leaving Gogglebox, following Stephen’s mother Pat, who appeared briefly on the show, dying in January this year.
Despite their split, the couple, who married after a two-year engagement, have said they hope to remain close friends.
The pair run a salon together called Lustig & Webb Hairdressing in the village of Hurstierpoint in Sussex. They tied the knot during a ceremony held at the Chateau de Lisse in Lot-et-Garonne, France in 2018.
The following year, Daniel joined his husband on Gogglebox. Stephen was part of the original lineup of Gogglebox in 2013 with with a previous partner Chris Ashby-Steed.
Christopher was then replaced by Stephen's mother Pat Webb during a stint in 2017 throughout series 10 to 12, until the following year.
Announcing their split to The Sun on Sunday, Stephen said: “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 said: “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.”
