Stephen Lustig-Webb shared a throwback snap with his estranged husband, Daniel, to Instagram on Saturday after they announced their plans for divorce.
The former Gogglebox stars have proved to be amicably separating as they continue to co-run their salon.
Stephen, 52, and Daniel, 43, are reportedly on good terms as they shared a fun return-to-work picture on social media.
They appeared in high spirits for the post, pretending their hair styling utensils were fake weapons to announce Daniel’s return to the salon.
But while their attitude to getting back to work was a joy for their fans to see, they could not help but plead for the couple to return to the popular Channel Four show.

‘There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.’
Daniel said: ‘We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
‘I’m sure we will forever be friends.’
Stephen first appeared on Channel 4 show Gogglebox more than a decade ago in 2023 alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
When the couple split, Stephen remained on the programme with his late mother Pat, who passed away in January 2024 following a ‘long illness’.
Stephen and Daniel left Gogglebox last year before it was announced Stephen was to take part in the 2024 series of Dancing On Ice.
However, Stephen was forced to pull out of the figure skating competition when he broke his ankle early on in training.

He was rushed to the Queen Alexandra hospital in Portsmouth in October last year, where medics told him he had broken his left ankle and would be on crutches for at least three months.
Stephen underwent an operation to put metal plates into his ankle for additional support, but there was no hope of him getting back on the ice.
Sources close to Stephen said he had been ‘thoroughly enjoying the new challenge’ and getting to know judges Torvill and Dean as well as the other celebrity contestants, and was ‘gutted’ to have lost his place in the competition before the show had even started.
They said at the time: ‘Stephen is devastated… he is absolutely gutted. He was loving training but while turning on his skates he snapped his ankle and was rushed to hospital.
‘After two days and an operation to put metal plates into his left ankle, medics informed him that there wasn’t a chance he could return to training, so he had no other option but to pull out of the competition.’
A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said: ‘Stephen Lustig-Webb has had to withdraw from the show due to an injury he sustained to his ankle during training.
‘He is still very much a part of the Dancing On Ice family, we will be helping to support Stephen and we wish him well with his recovery.’
