'I wouldn't say we were together at all...' Stephen Webb reflects on his Celebs Go Dating match a year after they split
Stephen Webb met David on Celebs Go Dating in 2024, and a year after it was revealed they split, the former Gogglebox star says the pair were never an item.
Stephen Webb says he and his Celebs Go Dating match were never together.
The 54-year-old TV personality met David, from Guernsey, Channel Islands, on the E4 show in 2024, and Stephen gushed to the programme's dating agents, Paul Carrick Brunson, 51, Anna Williamson, 44, and Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, 37, that his potential lover was a "hottie" and something "special".
But on October 1, 2024, it was revealed that Stephen had split from David after the former Gogglebox star learnt that his supposed boyfriend had been seeing other men while they were dating, and he was on a dating app.
Now, the TV personality does not see David as ever being that special someone in his life.
Stephen exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The whole David thing was - I was part of a TV show. I wouldn't say we were together at all. No."
The star - who travelled from his home in the seaside resort Brighton to spend time with David in Guernsey - said dating again, but ultimately, Stephen is content with being single.
He admitted: "I'm just dipping my toe back into the dating pool.
"I’m actually not really looking to meet anyone. I’m happy being single for now."
The 2024 Dancing on Ice contestant - who split from his ex-husband Daniel Lustig-Webb in April 2024 after six years of marriage - enjoys not being in a relationship because he can do whatever he wants.
Stephen explained: "I just love that I can do what I want, go where I want, please myself, eat what food I want, watch what TV I want to watch.
"Before I was married to Daniel, I always travelled alone. I've done everything solo, solo to Mount Everest base camp one.
"I go trekking on my own, I go running on my own. I'm really good with my own company."
Stephen previously said that he and Daniel - who are both hairdressers and together own two salons in West Sussex, as well as their home - are better off as friends, and they still enjoy living together.
Speaking about Daniel - who joined his ex-husband on Gogglebox in 2019 until the pair decided to leave the show in 2023 - Stephen said: "I’m still living with Daniel. We’re the best of friends."
Stephen was speaking on behalf of Centre for Sight, the UK’s leading, trusted centre of excellence for advanced eye care, innovation and life-changing results.
He was treated by Mr. Sheraz Daya for Laser Lens Replacement, also known as RLE, Refractive Lens Exchange, which starts from £3,497 per eye.
