Daniel Lustig has revealed he sees himself falling in love again and knows how he would like to meet his next partner following his split from husband Stephen Webb. 

The TV personality, 43, and his now former husband Stephen, 52, revealed in April that they are divorcing after six years of marriage.

The Googlebox star told how he and Stephen are successfully navigating their breakup and he now feels ready to find love again.

Speaking to OK!, hairdresser Daniel said: ‘I believe in love and I absolutely still do. I do see myself falling in love again and even possibly getting married again one day.’

Daniel, who runs two salons with fellow stylist Stephen, told how the former couple met when they were both in the queue at the Town Hall.

The TV personality, who has never used dating apps, told how he would like to meet his next boyfriend in a similar fashion.

He said: ‘When I met Stephen there was the odd website but there were no dating apps. I met him in a queue in the Town Hall. That’s how I hope I’ll meet someone again, but maybe not in the Town Hall this time.

‘Maybe I’ll run out of poo bags and turn to a really hot guy and say, ‘Hi, have you got any poo bags?’ and he’ll say ‘Yeah here, and here’s my number!’

Daniel added he is going to have to get a younger friend to teach him how to use dating apps. 

It comes after Daniel broke his silence after it emerged Stephen has signed up to Celebs Go Dating.

Just weeks after the announcement, it was reported Stephen has been scouted by E4 bosses for the dating show and is ‘excited’ to look for love again.

Yet, Daniel proved to be nothing but supportive as the ex-couple amicably parted ways and vowed to remain good friends.

Saying he doesn’t know much about the show, he told The Mirror: ‘But anything he goes on to do, I’ll definitely support him and watch.’

When asked if it was too early for Stephen to join a dating show, he quickly dismissed saying: ‘No not at all, it’s something that’s gone on for a while and he’ll be a very good candidate. He’s got some very very funny stories if he is going on it.’

‘Yes, of course I want him to find love again. We always want our exes and friends to find love and just to be happy,’ he added.

A TV insider previously told The Sun: ‘Stephen is set to sign up for Celebs Go Dating after successful advanced talks with E4 producers.

‘Bosses were really keen to get him as soon as they heard he and Stephen had split as they know viewers will invest in his path to finding love again, and he’s already a big favourite with Channel 4 viewers after years on Gogglebox.

‘Stephen is also really keen to have some fun again after a difficult few months, and he’s also raring to get back on TV after having to step down from Dancing on Ice due to injury.

‘He was gutted when that fell through, but he feels excited to take on a new project. He is realistic that he may not find Mr Right but he is up for a laugh on the dating scene.’

Celebs Go Dating follows a group of single stars as they look for love, with a bit of help from dating experts Anna Williamson and Paul Brunson.

Daniel and Stephen have said they are still on good terms and are both running their hair salon together.

They proved to be amicably separating as they took to Instagram after sharing the relationship news – posting a video of themselves riding a tandem bike and they made light of their split. 

Stephen even joked in the caption as he penned: ‘Riding tandem straight out of this marriage #beryl #bff.’ 

They looked like they were having a great time as they enjoyed a day out in sunny Brighton together where they live. 

Just a day earlier television personality Stephen told The Sun on Sunday: ‘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.’

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.
