Newly single after calling time on his marriage to Gogglebox co-star Stephen Webb, Daniel Lustig is feeling hopeful about finding love again.

The 49-year-old hair stylist announced the separation from his husband of six years in April, but the pair have stayed friends and are still living together in their Brighton flat.

In his first major interview since the news broke, Daniel tells OK! about the split, grieving the relationship, and why he thinks a poo bag might be the key to meeting his new Mr Right.

Going through a divorce is hard enough without the country witnessing it, but Daniel says the reaction to their news has been overwhelmingly positive.

“I guess we have to expect the interest after being on a show like Gogglebox for so long,” he says. “But most of the time, if I’m stopped in Brighton, people generally just ask, ‘How are you? Are you okay?’ like they’re my auntie or uncle.

“Obviously, when you’re going through a separation, it’s difficult at times and you have good and bad days, and when people know everything it does take you back for a second. But I genuinely feel lucky and blessed because a lot of people end their marriages and it’s horrible, but it’s not like that at all.”

The couple, who got married in a French chateau in 2018, kept the news under wraps and off social media for more than six months before releasing a statement in April. At the time, Stephen, 52, said there would always be “a lot of love there” but they’d grown apart and decided to divorce.

Daniel says the decision to announce it publicly was 100% mutual and only came once they’d both had time to process their feelings of grief.

“Neither one of us wanted to be unhappy and 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 have to think positively,” he shares.
