Age-gap controversy
Celebs Go Dating returned this week with six new famous faces on the hunt for love. Among them is Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb, 53, who recently split from his husband Daniel. During a masquerade mixer, Stephen chose to go on a date with 22-year-old Ben, sparking criticism from fans for the significant age gap.
Expert concerns
Celebs Go Dating expert Paul Brunson expressed his concerns over Stephen's dating choices, noting a pattern of fixation on younger men. Brunson suggested that such behavior could stem from low self-esteem or a desire for control in relationships. He highlighted Stephen's youthful dressing and multiple dates with younger men as potential signs of seeking external validation.
Past relationship insights
Stephen's ex-husband Daniel, with whom he had been together for 11 years, shared that their relationship eventually evolved into a strong friendship. Despite the fond memories they shared, the couple realized that they had grown apart, leading to their split. Daniel reflected on their journey together, from opening a salon to appearing on Gogglebox, before recognizing the shift in their dynamic.
