Gogglebox icon Daniel Lustig has said that he has given dating advice to his former husband as he gets back on the market.
Lustig was together with Gogglebox veteran Stephen Webb for 11 years following Stephen’s previous relationship with fellow Channel 4 co-star Chris Ashby-Steed. After five years of dating, the couple got hitched in 2017, but called time on the marriage in April.
Daniel said that the pair’s marriage did not involve any dramatic action, but rather that the couple gradually fell out of love with each other. The couple filed for divorce in April, but made sure that their years of friendship wouldn’t end there.

Since then, Daniel and Stephen have remained close, continuing to live together in Brighton whilst they try to sell their flat. They also are still joint owners of a salon in the city and have no plans to put the business on the market any time soon.

Speaking to The Sun, Daniel said that re-establishing their friendship after the breakdown of their marriage was “a bit choppy in the beginning”. However, with the water now firmly under the bridge, Daniel has said he is more than happy to hear of Stephen’s hopes of finding love once again.
“Nothing nasty happened here, nothing really dramatic,” Daniel said. “That would be a different story but because it hasn’t been like that, it was quite grown up.”
He added that it was hard to put boundaries in place once again at the beginning of the divorce proceedings, but things have now calmed down. Daniel joked that they now “do get on well”.
“We’re still sharing a flat together,” he went on to say. “He comes home and tells me about his filming Celebs Go Dating and I try to give him some advice.”
Daniel quipped that Stephen sometimes does not listen to the advice he is given, but Lustig immediately knows what the type of comments he will get back from Stephen will be. He added that he was consulted by Webb about his appearance on Celebs Go Dating, and Daniel was happy to give his blessing.
“In the beginning I was like, I don’t know if I can watch it. Or I might watch it through one eye,” Lustig quipped. “But now it’s coming closer, I think I’m just too nosy. I’ll probably have to watch it.”

Daniel himself admitted he would be keen to go on other romantic dating smashes including fellow Channel 4 programme Married at First Sight or Netflix hit Love is Blind. He laughed as he beamed: “Anything blind dating is great isn’t it?
“I would definitely go on those dating shows,” he confessed. “You don’t really know who they are in the beginning, but you get to know them.”
