In a sensational twist, Gogglebox stars Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig have unveiled a massive career shift following their decision to bid adieu to the show after a glorious decade on screen.

The dynamic duo, who are married and ply their trade as hairdressers when not captivating audiences on the popular Channel 4 show, have announced plans to open a second salon in Storrington, West Sussex. Stephen, aged 50, and Daniel, 43, are already proud owners of the Lustig and Webb salon nestled in the quaint Sussex village of Hurstpierpoint.

Brighton's beloved coffee and jigsaw puzzle shop, Puzzle Bored, shared an exclusive snapshot of the Gogglebox celebrities, unveiling their thrilling new business venture. The photo was promptly re-shared by Stephen on his personal account.

The caption accompanying the photo read: "Posted @withregram @puzzlebored Check out the new cafe staff, ha only kidding! Lovely to catch up today and chat with @lustig75 and @stephengwebb1971 and show them around our cafe space, hear about their new salon @lustigandwebbstorrington and their exciting plans for life after gogglebox." [sic] The post further revealed they had a great discussion about future events for the quiet space cafe and community space, and the pair were given a couple of Puzzle Bored T-shirts, which they seemed to adore. The post ended with a heartfelt thank you for their support.

Stephen and Daniel recently made headlines with their announcement to leave Gogglebox. Stephen took to Instagram to share their decision, stating: "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."

He continued, expressing gratitude towards Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for their part in the show, saying, "We would like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show. We are also extremely grateful to the cast and crew, or Gogglebox family, as we call them and of course the fans, thank you for all of your love & support over the years."

Stephen, who recently flaunted his impressive body transformation during a holiday in Jamaica, first graced the show in 2013 as one of its original stars, alongside then-partner Christopher Steed. Christopher was replaced by Stephen's mother Pat Webb during series 10 to 12 in 2017, until the following year when she was succeeded by Stephen's husband Daniel in 2019, after the couple tied the knot.
