Later opening up about why their marriage broke down, Stephen told The Sun: "We both kind of switched off and stopped working at it. The longer you leave it, the more it deteriorates to a point where there's no going back.
"I'm a firm believer in that life is about change and now I'm just looking forward to the next chapter of my life." He also expressed gratitude for the "amazing time" shared with Daniel over their 11-year relationship.
Stephen made his first appearance on Gogglebox in 2013 and Daniel joined him on the show in 2019. Daniel and Stephen are also business partners, co-managing two successful hair salons in West Sussex.
Stephen recently appeared on Celebs Go Dating but failed to find love. In a recent podcast interview, Daniel opened up about their current dynamic, describing how they remain best friends and housemates.
