The 49-year-old, who said he was more than willing to give Celebrities start dating a try, said people haven’t really clocked in on his Glasses case fame.

When asked if he was afraid people would swipe right because they saw him on the show, Daniel shared: “The people I’ve talked to or met haven’t said it on the first or second date, and if they Sliding it in anyway, I think, ‘Oh, that’s pretty cool.’ You know what I mean. I don’t want dating to be like a job interview.”

And the single star tries his hardest not to be picky during his dating quest, sometimes without success.

Daniel added: “I’ve actually been very open, because in the past I thought, ‘they have to be this age,’ they have to look like this. But now my age range is more open than before. So that’s interesting.

Gogglebox plays Stephen and Daniel’s relationship timeline

Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged in 2016 and married two years later.

The couple co-own a hair salon and live in a £575,000 property on Brighton’s sought-after seafront.

At the time of the engagement, Stephen appeared on Gogglebox with his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.

In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was an instant hit.

Chris, who is now in a happy relationship with husband Tony, spoke publicly about the impact the show has had on his mental health.

After moving to Wales and leaving showbiz, Chris said he was wracked with fear during his time on the program.

Last year, Daniel and Stephen shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving the program. Daniel has been part of the show since its launch in 2013.

Their departure opened a new world of opportunities for the duo and it was soon announced that Stephen would take part in Dancing on Ice. But disaster struck and an injury ruled him out of the live shows.

There were more shocks in April when we revealed the couple had split. They promised to remain friends and seemed true to their word, sharing a smiley photo with Stephen’s mother on the coast the next day.

“When I met Stephen I was still friends with my ex, and he took that on the chin.

“You don’t have to be really good friends with these people, but you have to respect it. It’s some Louis Vuitton luggage!’

Daniel doesn’t want to ‘live off the apps’ when it comes to meeting someone he knows, but says he prefers a more traditional way of going about things.

“I would like to meet someone walking along the beach with my dog or in a bar, like in the old days.

“If a friend set me up on a date, I’d have to specify the parameters, and if they got it wrong, I’d probably never talk to my friend again!”

Despite Daniel’s search for romance, the star is busy juggling two hair salon businesses and a life in the spotlight as a TV personality.

He recently appeared on The weakest linkand shares his wish to one day go to the Come strictly dance dance floor, but “doesn’t feel famous at all.”

Daniel added: “If we’re not filming or doing anything, life is just the same as everyone else’s.

“I go to the beach and pick up the dog poop in the rain. I have to run to get in my car quickly to go to work so I don’t get late, you know, and live the same life as everyone else.

And on a Gogglebox return? Well, Daniel says, “Never say never.”
