Stephen and Daniel Lustig-Webb demonstrated their continued camaraderie despite revealing their separation in April.
The ex-Gogglebox personalities, who departed the show in 2023, were wed for six years but have preserved a friendly rapport despite their forthcoming divorce.
Their followers were thrilled when Stephen posted a nostalgic snapshot of them on Saturday, radiating joy and smiles for the camera, to announce Daniel’s comeback to their salon, Lustig and Webb in Storrington, which they jointly operate.
“@lustigandwebbhurstpierpoint He’s back! Stephen will be working on Wednesdays in Hurstpierpoint. Starting from 01/05. Give the salon a call or book on line,” the post read.
Stephen’s followers were quick to comment on the photo, with many praising them for keeping their friendship intact.
“Great to see you both and very happy to hear you are still good friends,” one replied. A second said: “Awwww I love you two! So happy you’re still friends though.”
A third added: “Just love this & the friendship you are keeping together although parting.” A fourth penned: “Glad to see that your still friends but sad to your not together anymore. Wishing you all the best.”
In April, Stephen and Daniel made the shock announcement that they were going their separate ways.
“It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce,” Stephen told The Sun. “There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”
“We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end,” added Daniel. “I’m sure we will forever be friends.”
Daniel and Stephen became engaged in 2016 before exchanging vows two years later. Daniel made his debut on Gogglebox following his relationship with Stephen, who had initially appeared on the Channel 4 show over a decade ago alongside his former partner, Chris Ashby-Steed. After Stephen’s separation from Chris, he continued on Gogglebox alongside his mother, Pat, who sadly passed away in January 2024.
After their wedding, Daniel joined Stephen on Gogglebox in 2019. Beginning in 2021, the couple was featured in scenes filmed at the £575,000 flat they acquired near the seafront in Brighton, East Sussex. Much to the surprise of their fans, Stephen announced last year that he and Daniel would be departing from Gogglebox.
Releasing an official statement in September, he said: “After careful consideration, Daniel and I have decided we will not be returning for the new series of Gogglebox.
“We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities. We would both like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show.”
