Daniel Lustig has revealed he and ex husband Stephen Webb are still living together, nine months after they announced their marriage split.
The Gogglebox stars revealed they were getting a divorce in April 2024 after six years of marriage.
Speaking on Best’s Suddenly Single podcast, Daniel opened up about their ‘traumatic’ and ‘devastating’ shock split as well as his current dating life.
Despite making the decision to split up, Daniel, 49, revealed he and Stephen, 53, are still living under the same roof while they continue to sell their apartment.
He said: ‘We’re still living together. We’re trying to sell our apartment. We cohabit really well together. (The split) was quite a slow process, for a while we were still sleeping in the same bed.
‘Then when Stephen went on Celebs Go Dating we agreed we’d sleep in separate bedrooms.

‘We’ve found a way to work together, live together and be dog dads. It’s always been about friendship.
‘As soon as we started dating, I said, “this guy is so different to me” but we got on so well, even though we came from completely different backgrounds.’
Talking about their split, he added: ‘It was devastating. For me, it was traumatic and although I knew things weren’t great, I didn’t see it coming.
‘It was quite a slow process because we were completely entwined for so long, with our businesses, the dogs, we were so close in everything we did.
‘There was nothing underhand happening, no-one had slept with anyone else. Stephen was the complete opposite to me, and we’d say opposites attracted, but fundamentally that was our problem in the end.’
Confirming he is back on the market, Daniel said: ‘Once I got over the shock, in the summer I was going on date after date with all these different types of people, I was on apps all the time, and now I realise I was trying to fill a void.
‘Friends took me aside to ask if I was okay. Now I’m happy being single. I love going on dates but I don’t need a long term relationship, I need to repair myself a little and learn who I am again.
‘The first guy I dated (after Stephen), I went on about six dates with him in London. He was very nice, he knew my situation and it was teenage dating, nothing sexual at all, we’d go somewhere really nice and have a snog in the end. He did end it, I think he realised I wasn’t in the right frame of mind.’

Stephen an Daniel are still on good terms, with the pair both running their hair salon together.
At the time of their split, Daniel said: ‘We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
‘I’m sure we will forever be friends.’
Stephen first appeared on Channel 4 show Gogglebox more than a decade ago in 2023 alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
When the couple split, Stephen remained on the programme with his late mother Pat.
