GOGGLEBOX: STEPHEN & DANIEL TO LEAVE SERIES

Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig-Webb have decided to step away from the programme.

A statement from producers Studio Lambert and Channel 4 read: "After a brilliant and illustrious time on Gogglebox, Stephen and Daniel have decided that now is the right time to explore life beyond the sofa and leave the show...

"As one of the original Goggleboxers, Stephen has entertained the nation with his hilarious quips since the show first started in 2013, sharing his opinions on the best and biggest TV events of the last ten years...

"We would like to thank him and Daniel for being utterly brilliant contributors to the show, and we wish them well with their future projects."

Gogglebox returns Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
