And now as he prepares to make his Celebs Go Dating debut, Stephen has revealed he was 'sick' of the show.
The 52-year-old said: "I thought, 'I just can’t go back, I’m sick of it'."
He continued to The Mirror: "I got to the 10th anniversary of Gogglebox. I started feeling like Ken Barlow… there from day one.

"I was churning out the same old s***.
"I’d say to the guys, 'Sorry, you’ll have heard this 10 times before..'
"I don’t know why they’ve not cottoned on. When I shoved the doughnut in my mouth and swallowed…
"I must have done that four times. It made it on every time."

Hairdresser Daniel, who is still business partners with Stephen, said the pair made the joint decision to call time on their relationship after having many difficult discussions.
Despite their marriage breakdown, the pair have remained good friends and still live together in their Brighton home.
Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel's relationship timeline
Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged back 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 alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was immediately a big hit.
Chris, who is now in a happy relationship with husband Tony, spoke publicly about how the show affected his mental health.
Having relocated to Wales and quit showbiz, Chris said he was racked with anxiety during his time on the programme.
Just last year Daniel and Stephen shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving the programme. Daniel had been part of the show since its launch in 2013.
Their departure opened up a new world of opportunity for the duo and it was soon announced that Stephen would take part in Dancing on Ice. But disaster struck and injury ruled him out before the live shows.
There were further gasps of shock in April when we revealed the pair had split up. They vowed to remain friends and looked to be true to their word, sharing a smiley picture the following day with Stephen's mum on the seafront.
