Speaking to The Sun, Stephen said: “It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce.

“There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”

Stephen first appeared on Gogglebox in 2013 alongside his former partner, Chris. Following their split, he appeared with his late mum Pat – who died recently.

Then, following his marriage to Daniel, the pair began appearing on Gogglebox together. However, last year, Stephen and Daniel announced they were leaving the Channel 4 show.

At the time, the pair explained to fans: “After careful consideration, Daniel and I have decided we will not be returning for the new series of Gogglebox. We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities.

“We would both like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny, and heartwarming show.”

In January, Stephen suffered heartbreak when his beloved mum Pat died. He shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram at the time.

He said: “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.”
