What did Stephen Webb say about his transformation?
On Gogglebox, Stephen joked his new haircut had gone down “a storm” and even had people comparing him to Hollywood actor George Clooney.
He told Daniel: “I’ve been saying since I was 45, ‘hashtag fit at 50’, but I’m well on the way now.
“I’m inspired and I’m also a stone lighter and I’m doing loads of exercises.”
Daniel replied: “I think you look good.”
He also patted Stephen’s chest and told him he was definitely less “booby”.
Stephen then joked he would soon be too attractive for his husband.
“I think you need to watch out because in a couple of months time, I’m going to be out of your league really,” he told him with a cheeky grin.
“I don’t think so,” Daniel said.
