Gogglebox fans have praised Stephen Lustig-Webb as he continues to co-parent his dogs along with his ex-husband, Daniel. The pair shocked the nation when they announced earlier this year that they were splitting up.

The Channel 4 icon originally shot to fame after appearing on Gogglebox for a decade. The TV star uploaded a series of snaps of himself shopping and walking his dogs with Daniel despite being divorced.

He captioned the images: "Co parenting and shopping with the poodles." Many of his 280,000 followers have flooded the comments section with messages of approval as they pair continue to co-parent and stay friends.

One person said: "Love that you two are still on good terms," as a second follower wrote: "Inspirational break up behaviour. So many could learn from you guys."

A third person said: "It’s such a shame you both have separated, but good you both can still be friends xx." A fourth fan wrote: "Can't believe you two aren't together, you were so good together."

Last year, Stephen told fans on Instagram that he and Daniel would be quitting the Channel 4 show in an emotional post. He was one of the original Gogglebox cast members when the show launched in 2013.

Since his break-up with Daniel, Stephen signed up to the Channel 4 dating show Celebs Go Dating. According to The Sun, Stephen had been scouted by Channel 4 bosses after announcing his divorce from Daniel.

An insider told the publication: "Stephen is set to sign up for Celebs Go Dating after successful advanced talks with E4 producers. Bosses were really keen to get him as soon as they heard he and Stephen had split as they know viewers will invest in his path to finding love again, and he’s already a big favourite with Channel 4 viewers after years on Gogglebox.
