Gogglebox favourite Stephen Webb has revealed that he was made the victim of a vile homophobic attack on the street.
The Channel 4 star and hairdresser claimed that he received abuse while walking along the sea front this week in Hove, his hometown, with his husband Daniel Lustwig.
Stephen and Daniel have appeared on the Gogglebox sofa together since 2019, a year after they tied the knot in 2018.

Stephen appeared on the very first series of Gogglebox, which aired in 2013, but he originally joined his ex Christopher Steed before Daniel took over in 2019.
Stephen and Daniel got married in a fairytale ceremony in France in July 2018 and were snapped together at the Chateau de Lisse in Lot-et-Garonne.
