Celebs Go Dating star Stephen Webb has made a scathing dig at his co-star’s ex-lover.
The Gogglebox star, 53, has been looking to find love once again after splitting from former husband Daniel Lustig last year. Ahead of going on the show, Stephen asked Daniel for his blessing to find love so quickly, to which Daniel lovingly agreed.
After months of filming, the E4 show is now airing across the country, and fans were left stunned when Stephen made the remark. In a recent episode, fellow co-star Lauryn Goodman gave a hint to how her tumultuous relationship with baby daddy Kyle Walker had been going.

Reality TV star Lauryn, 33, had been battling with Kyle in court in July – just as the filming got underway. During proceedings, various outlandish demands from Lauryn were discovered, most of which were completely dismissed by the presiding judge.

Fans of the show have grown weary of Lauryn’s stint on the show, after splitting viewers due to her late arrival in the series. She also admitted to the relationship coaches that she had been left with trust issues after the entire debacle.
In a recent instalment of the show, Lauryn was introduced to her co-stars, all of whom had been receiving expert advice for weeks before she joined. Amongst those she met for the first time was Stephen, as well as Married at First Sight star Ella Morgan.
Wasting no time in getting into the nitty-gritty, Stephen asked Lauryn what she was looking for on the show. He then made a shocking swipe at both Lauryn and her former flame Kyle Walker, all while he laughed the joke off.

“So, what’s your type, Lauryn?” Stephen asked. “Apart from married?” prompting an eye-roll from Lauryn herself, before Ella and Stephen erupted into fits of laughter.
But despite there seeming to be no bad blood between the trio, some fans watching the show thought the quip was below the belt and let their feelings be heard. One fan took to Twitter to exclaim: “Stephen’s comment to Lauryn was totally uncalled for – she’s trying to heal! His mouth needs washing out, he’s a dirty old man.”
A second user was also unimpressed, penning: “She’s broken; love her or hate her, she shouldn’t be on TV, especially doing this.” Whilst a third said: “She’s still crying – who deemed Lauren okay to appear on Celebs Go Dating?”

Lauryn broke down in tears in a recent episode, as she admitted that she felt broken from the hate she received in the wake of the Kyle Walker drama. Responding to messages she received in the wake of the episode, she thanked those for reaching out, but admitted she is not leaving the house for fear of getting hate.
Celebs Go Dating airs at 9pm on E4.
