Gogglebox fans in disbelief as stars Stephen and Daniel debut epic lockdown makeovers

Gogglebox fans were left rather distracted as the debut episode of the 18th series aired on Channel 4 on Friday night.

The nation’s favourite TV critics are back for another round and on their return, lovebirds Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig made quite the impression.

The married couple have both undergone incredible transformations since the last time they appeared on the Channel 4 show – and viewers were left distracted when the comical pair first appeared on screen.

Stephen, 50, has become a firm favourite on the reality TV show after he first made an appearance way back in 2013.

The TV star, who married his now husband Daniel back in 2018, is looking rather different these days after chopping off his famous locks ahead of the new series.

Fans of the show now think that the hairdressers have taken ‘ten years’ off themselves with their new looks making them look ‘much younger’.

After the pair posted a recent selfie together, eagle-eyed fans have agreed that Stephen and Daniel look incredibly similar to BBC Radio 1 presenters Scott mils and Jordan North.

Re-sharing the Gogglebox star’s post, one fan tweeted: "So Stephen and Daniel are returning to Gogglebox with a fresh new look - could have sworn though it was @scott_mills and @jordannorth1 in 20 years time.”

And former I’m A Celebrity contestant Jordan couldn’t but agree when he saw the post for himself.

“Howling,” he penned alongside the post.

It comes after Stephen recently admitted that he loves his ‘lockdown’ body.

Lifting the lid on whether or not being on TV has made him more aware of his body, Stephen told The Mirror that he knows he’s a little overweight but he wouldn’t change the way he looks.

The TV star told: “I am very happy with the way I look. Yes, I’m a little bit overweight and getting quite a substantial moob on me, but I love watching myself on TV.”

Gogglebox continues on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4
