Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel make career announcement after quitting the show

Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel have made a career announcement after quitting the show.

The pair decided to call it quits from the beloved show last week (7 September) with Stephen being familiar face on the programme since the show first began in 2013.

Husband Daniel then later joined the series for its 13th season in 2019.

Stephen, one of the nation's favourite armchair critics, took to Instagram earlier this week to share with their adoring fans exactly what their plans were after departing from Gogglebox after 10 wonderful years.

While Stephen is well known for his hilarious impressions and side-splitting personal anecdotes - what many fans don't know is that he's actually got a business head on him too.

The married couple, who already own a hairdressing salon based in Storrington, West Sussex, have announced they will be opening a second salon branch in the local area.

Stephen took to Instagram to share the news with his 267k followers, reposting a post uploaded by Brighton cafe, Puzzle Bored.

It 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.

"Was great to discuss our future events for our quiet space cafe and community space. Also sent them off with a couple of our puzzle bored t-shirts, as they were loving the merch. Thank you both for your support!"

The new salon, called Lustig and Webb Storrington, will be the 'sister salon' to Lustig & Webb.

While it may not be a cafe - it's definitely comforting to know the two Gogglebox fan-favourites will be keeping busy after their departure from the show!

Fans were quick to share their excitement over Stephen and Daniel's next big career move with one Instagram user writing: "Good luck to you both in your new venture!"

A second added: "All the hard work has definitely paid off!"

"You both look fabulous!" praised a third. "Congratulations!"

"All the best in your new journey!" offered a fourth fan of the pair.

A final Instagram user added: "Looks brilliant but gutted you’ve finished on Gogglebox thought you were the best."

Didn't we all.
