Celebrity Gogglebox: Martin Kemp tells Roman about his holiday
Channel 4 has announced that the popular show will be back on screens next month and promises to bring back more of the entertainment that viewers know and love when it airs on Friday, September 13.
However one fan favourite figure will be sadly missing from the line up this year.
Stephen Webb has confirmed that he will not be returning to Gogglebox despite being contacted by producers who asked him to reconsider quitting the show.
He originally announced that he was leaving in 2023, alongside his now ex husband Daniel Lustig who occupied a prime seat on the sofa with him.
The hairdresser was approached to come back after being forced to pull out of Dancing On Ice with a broken ankle.
However, Stephen didn't consider the offer.
He told the Daily Star: "Gogglebox's producers got in touch and said, 'As you haven't done any other shows, you could come back to Gogglebox if you want.' But I never followed it up."
"Ten years on the show is enough. I was like Ken Barlow. I'd had more line-ups than the Sugababes. It was time to go!"
As he prepared to go on Celebs Go Dating Stephen revealed the real reason he quit the Channel 4 series, saying: "I thought, 'I just can’t go back, I’m sick of it'."
He continued to The Mirror: "I was churning out the same old s***.
"I’d say to the guys, 'Sorry, you’ll have heard this 10 times before.'"
Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged back in 2016 and married two years later.
The couple co-own a hair salon and live in a £575,000 property on Brighton's sought after seafront.
At the time of the engagement, Stephen appeared on Gogglebox alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was immediately a big hit.
However in April the pair revealed they had split up but vowed to remain friends.
