Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig has been on the dating scene since splitting from his husband Stephen Webb last year - but it looks like one romance didn't go as planned
Gogglebox 's Daniel Lustig has opened up about a recent romance that didn't quite work out, revealing the reason behind it. The 49 year old TV star is back on the dating scene following his split from ex-partner Stephen Webb after an 11-year relationship. Daniel, a fan favourite on Gogglebox , has turned to dating apps and has had some success, including a date at Brighton's Soho House. However, an 18-year age gap proved too much for Daniel to overlook.
"He was lovely and sprightly and excitable, and he had an amazing job as a writer. And he was also just so interesting as a person. But I thought maybe if I was 31 or 35 even then it would have been perfect." Daniel added with a touch of humour: "It's a shame but he's 31, and let's say we got together for 20 years he'd be 51 which is practically what I am now, and I'll be like 70.
Stephen and Daniel decided to separate last year and announced it in April earlier this year, six years after tying the knot at the majestic Chateau de Lisse in Lot-et-Garonne, France. Daniel exclusively told OK! , that the pair realised they were better and happier as "friends with no benefits". “We got to the point where we’d talked about the breakup, about why we were breaking up, how we were going to go through it, and how we were both feeling. When we both felt in a stable place and a bit more confident, and also there for each other, that’s when we put it out."
He also said: "Neither one of us wanted to be unhappy and when we called time on it, yes it was very upsetting because when you get married and walk down the aisle you don’t think that’s ever going to happen, you can't think that, you have to think positively."
