GOGGLEBOX fans have hit out at Stephen Lustig-Webb for being “disrespectful” after split from husband Daniel.
The newly-single star enjoyed a day out in London with some pals on Saturday.
Channel 4 star Stephen took to social media to upload snaps of his fun-filled outing, as he hit the pubs in Notting Hill.
He shared a smiling snap alongside a male friend, but some followers were quick to assume that he had “moved on”.
One follower wrote: “Maybe best to keep a low profile for a while and be a bit more respectful?”
A second posted: “Moved on already?”
While a third commented: “Moved on already bit disrespectful to be posting about it already,” while a fourth asked: “Is that your new man. Looks like Daniel had a lucky escape. Good luck to him.”
But other fans defended the star and said it was nice to see Stephen enjoying himself with close friends after a difficult time.
One wrote: “Wow people are so quick to jump to conclusions, and judge.”
“Cut the guy some slack!!! He’s allowed to go out and enjoy himself be it a date or a meet up with a friend you people make me laugh . Mind your own bees wax,” a second shared.
A third added: “Just because it’s a man doesn’t mean they’re a couple, he’s an old friend. Honestly.”
Another said: “None of you know exactly how long ago their marriage broke up, none of you know him on a personal level, so stop acting like you do. It may be a friend, a partner or other, who cares it’s none of our business.”
Although the post may have divided fans, Stephen’s ex Daniel did not seemed phased by it and sent his well wishes to the star.
He commented: “Hope you’re having fun in the big smoke.”
Earlier this week Stephen, 53, and Daniel were spotted without their wedding rings after announcing their split.
The former couple shared a statement with The Sun confirming they had ended their six year marriage.
Just days after the news, the pair broke their silence with a video of themselves riding a tandem bike and made light of their split.
Daniel, 43, shared the clip alongside Stephen, 52, and wrote: “Riding tandem straight out of this marriage #beryl #bff.”
The decision came after Stephen had a complete body overhaul, spending six months transforming his physique and hitting the gym.
Stephen shot to fame on the first series of Gogglebox in 2013 with his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
However Chris quit the programme in 2017 after feuding with his former partner.
Stephen later appeared on Gogglebox with his late mum Pat, before Daniel joined him on the famous sofa.
