The beloved Gogglebox duo, Stephen Lustig-Webb and his partner Daniel, have confirmed they are parting ways after tying the knot six years ago.
The Sun on Sunday reports that 52-year-old Stephen has expressed a desire to maintain a friendship with 43-year-old Daniel, his business partner in their joint hairdressing venture.
Speaking to the outlet, Stephen revealed: "It's with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce."
He added, "There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we've unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways."
The pair have always been adored by Gogglebox viewers who are bound to be left upset by the announcement after watching them on Channel 4 together for years.
On the same note, Daniel remarked: "We've made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end," reports OK!.
He also shared his optimism about their future relationship, saying, "I'm sure we will forever be friends."
A representative for the pair has been contacted for comment by Express.co.uk.

Stephen initially graced the Channel 4 show alongside his former mate Chris Ashby-Steed, later filming with his late mother, Pat, who sadly passed away at the age of 75 in January.
He was succeeded on the ITV programme by Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards.
In a heartfelt homage, Stephen Webb described his mother as "one in a million" and the "absolute centre of our world".
Sharing his emotions on Instagram, he penned: "Mummy Pat, you were one in a million, took everyone at face value, would share your last fiver with a stranger, the salt of the earth and the absolute centre of our world! Rest in peace mum."
Daniel Lustig joined his partner Stephen on the Gogglebox sofa in 2019, but the duo decided to exit the popular programme last year.
The timing coincided with Stephen's anticipated participation in Dancing On Ice this year. However, an unfortunate ankle break forced him to withdraw from the ITV ice-skating spectacle before it commenced.
