Gogglebox couple Stephen and Daniel Lustig-Webb are divorcing after six years of marriage.
The couple - who run a hair salon together - confirmed the news, explaining there is 'a lot of love there' and that they will 'remain forever friends'.
Stephen, who has appeared on Gogglebox for over 10 years, told The Sun on Sunday: “It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce.

"There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”
Meanwhile, Daniel added: “We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
“I’m sure we will forever be friends.”
Stephen has been appearing on Gogglebox since its OG days.
He first began on the show in 2013 with former boyfriend, Chris Ashby-Steed, who has since left the show.
When the couple split, Stephen appeared with his late mum, Pat, before Daniel later joined.
Gogglebox fans were left in shock last month, when it was announced that George Gilbey, 40, had tragically passed away.
According to police, George died on the morning of 27 March after a fall from height in Shoebury, Essex.
A spokesperson for Essex Police said: “We received a report of an incident at Campfield Road in Shoebury at around 10am this morning (March 27), during which a man who was working at height had fallen and sustained an injury.
“The ambulance service including air ambulance were in attendance. Sadly, the man died at the scene.
“We will continue liaising with partners including the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
“A cordon remains in place at the scene.”
The reality star appeared on the Channel 4 show for eight series, alongside his mum Linda McGarry and stepdad Pete McGarry, who died aged 71 in 2021.
Gilbey also made it to the final of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.
Following his death, Linda, 74, paid tribute to her son.
“I’m devastated, he was like my best friend," she told the Clacton and Frinton Gazette. “He had the best heart in the world. He was generous, funny and kind, with bundles of charm and buckets of personality.
"He did more in his 40 years than people do in 90 – he’s even had dinner with the Prince of Dubai. He was crazy, but after coming out of showbiz, he couldn’t get his life back together. He just couldn’t get over the death of Pete."
