Gogglebox star Stephen Webb has been praised by fans for taking the next step after his marriage split.

Stephen, 52, is best known for spending a decade as a couch critic on the Channel 4 TV show before announcing his departure last year.

Around six months later Stephen and his husband of six years Daniel Lustig announced they had separated, sharing that while there would ‘always be a lot of love’ between them, they’d ‘grown apart and made the decision to part ways’.

About a month later, Stephen was revealed to be part of the cast for the upcoming season of Celebs Go Dating, alongside Helen Flanagan, MAFS’ Ella Morgan, Love Island’s Chris Taylor, Made in Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps and Hollyoaks actress Jamelia.

Since then, he’s been sharing updates on social media about filming the show, which was completed a few days ago.

Ahead of the next season hitting screens, Stephen has shared a hilarious clip jokingly showing how he thinks he looks walking into a date opposed to what he actually looks like.

In the video he is seen strutting through a room looking confident, ruffling his hands through his hair, however he is then shown with his pants pulled right up and walking looking a little less cool.

His followers couldn’t get enough, being left in stitches at the clip.

‘You have humour and suave in a complete package. You’ll do great!’ Julie commented.

‘Work it girl,’ James declared.

‘Stephen, you are one of the funniest people I know,’ Amanda added.

Meanwhile others wished him luck after putting himself back out there.

‘You are hilarious and you deserve to happy and fabulous x,’ Laura wrote.

A few days ago, Stephen shared a post marking the end of his time on Celebs Go Dating.

‘And just like that…it’s a wrap! Love and thanks to all the cast, crew @paulcbrunson for the tough love! @luvbites.co for the sexy tips! And of course the wonderful @annawilliamsonofficial for the advice, cuddles and giggles! What a ride it’s been! And last but not least @ellamorganc for putting the fun back in my life! And yes you skydiver 😜’ he wrote.

When rumours first started circulating that Stephen had signed up to the reality dating series, his ex-husband Daniel said that he would ‘definitely support him and watch’.

Asked by The Sun whether he thought it was ‘too soon’ for his ex to jump back into dating on national TV, he explained they’d been single for around 10 months at that time.

‘He’ll be a very good candidate. He’s got some very very funny stories if he is going on it. I want him to find love again. We always want our exes and friends to find love and just to be happy,’ he said.

Gogglebox is streaming on Channel 4.
