Gogglebox star Stephen Webb was slammed by Celebs Go Dating fans following the latest instalment of the E4 programme.
Stephen, 53, has been on a string of bad dates since the show kicked off, with viewers calling out his "disrespectful and crude" behaviour towards others. During Thursday's episode (August 29), the reality star appeared to recognise where he was going wrong as he caught up with experts Anna Williamson and Dr. Tara Sunwinyatthichaiporn.
"I really listened and actually I was really interested in what he was saying. I was trying to be attentive to him and I was aware not to be too flirty because I'd gone overboard on my last two dates," Stephen said of his meet up with Danny.
Tara responded: "The fact you recognised this and assessed yourself is a big improvement." Stephen went on to express his delight at receiving "positive feedback", however, viewers didn't agree with the experts' comments and took to social media to call out his apparent ego.

"Stephen needs to dial down his ego," demanded one viewer. A second weighed in: "Stephen was NOT interested and he WAS flirty this guy talks so much s**t."
Another fan remarked: "Why did Stephen say he asked questions and listened attentively to Danny when he zoned out." Someone else commented: "#CelebsGoDating yeah you’re getting positive feedback Stephen because you never told them the truth."
Stephen faced major backlash after he chose 22-year-old footballer Ben for his first date. He then called another date, Dean, "boring" to his face after the 39-year-old said he wouldn't have sex after the first date.
The driving instructor was left far from impressed as the date went on after he was probed about whether he'd ever got intimate with a pupil in the back of his car.

Stephen received feedback from his dates and Dean marked it a zero out of ten. Calling out the E4 star's behaviour, Dean fumed: "Innuendos began from the first few minutes. You said some things that were totally inappropriate to me.
"You asked if I w****d in my car, I'm a driving instructor. You talked about your 'hot ****'. You said you'd sleep with me twice." Dean confessed that Stephen's behaviour made him feel "cheap and humiliated".
The hairdresser was also criticised by dating expert Paul C. Brunson, who claimed he had been "selfish, crude and closed minded". He later declared: "You won't be successful in life if you continue this way."
Stephen was left in tears over the comments, saying: "My head is all over the place, I just feel like my whole personality has been destroyed. I've come across as a pervert!"
