Legendary Gogglebox star looks unrecognisable with pink buzzcut - showing off drastic hair transformation on sunny holiday with friends
The star, 53, appeared on the show fly-on-the-wall Channel 4 programme from its launch in 2013 until quitting in 2023.
His decision to leave the show stunned viewers, as he revealed how he had become 'sick of it'.
Earlier this year he returned to television, appearing on Celebs Go Dating following his split from his husband Daniel Lustig.
But now Stephen Webb has revealed a brand new look to fans - showing off his shock buzzcut that he's dyed pink.
It's an eye-popping transformation compared to his once lustful brunette locks that Gogglebox fans are used to seeing.
The witty star debuted the look on Instagram as he enjoys a sun-soaked holiday in Benidorm with pals.
In one snap, Stephen posted a selfie as he and his friends were all smiles while basking in the heat.
Another picture showed them in the water as they cooled off while they boasting bronzed complexions.
When Stephen and Daniel, 49, split he remained on Gogglebox with his mother Pat.
At the start of this year, Daniel opened up about their 'traumatic' and 'devastating' shock split, as well as his current dating life to the Best Suddenly Single Podcast.
Despite making the decision to break up, Daniel, 49, revealed he and Stephen are still living under the same roof while they continue to sell their apartment.
He said: 'We're still living together. We're trying to sell our apartment. We cohabit really well together. (The split) was quite a slow process, for a while we were still sleeping in the same bed.
'Then when Stephen went on Celebs Go Dating we agreed we'd sleep in separate bedrooms.
'We've found a way to work together, live together and be dog dads. It's always been about friendship.
'As soon as we started dating, I said, 'this guy is so different to me' but we got on so well, even though we came from completely different backgrounds.'
Talking about their split, he added: 'It was devastating. For me, it was traumatic and although I knew things weren't great, I didn't see it coming.
'It was quite a slow process because we were completely entwined for so long, with our businesses, the dogs, we were so close in everything we did.
'There was nothing underhand happening, no-one had slept with anyone else. Stephen was the complete opposite to me, and we'd say opposites attracted, but fundamentally that was our problem in the end.'

Stephen an Daniel are still on good terms, with the pair both running their hair salon together.
At the time of their split, Daniel said: 'We've made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
'I'm sure we will forever be friends.'

BBC star reveals horror after landlord recorded naked images on hidden spy cam
A BBC actress has told of her horror after discovering her landlord planted a spy cam in her bathroom. The Scots star — who has appeared in prime-time comedies and dramas — found the recording device hidden in a washing basket after taking a shower. 4 4 4 She fled the flat before watching back the footage and finding intimate clips of herself — plus an image of the creep changing the memory card. Cops have launched a probe. Last night the telly star said: 'I was in a state of absolute shock. He filmed me when I was at my most vulnerable.' The performer told how she moved into the property in France last July after a break-up with a boyfriend. Her 40-something landlord — whom she believed was a drug user — soon seemed suspicious. The actress recalled: 'Something didn't feel right with him.' Later she found two holes drilled into the bathroom wall which she plugged with cotton earbuds. And the night before she found the recording device she claimed the sicko spiked her drink. She recalled: 'It was like something out of a horror movie. 'I always used to notice this little black dot in the washing basket across from the shower. 'I never in a million years thought he'd be spying on me. But given what had happened the night before, I went to have a closer look. 'My heart just stopped and I burst into tears. There was a green light flashing on the camera. 'I knew that it was on and I was being recorded.' Initially she remained in the bathroom and switched off the lights fearing the sicko could be waiting outside 'with a knife'. Eventually she packed a bag and fled the property before returning with cops days later. She eventually plucked up the courage to watch the video and was horrified saying: 'I was in complete shock.'

'I got everything I wanted but the Claret Jug'
Rory McIlroy was determined to soak it all in this time. Six years ago, when the Open Championship returned to Royal Portrush for the first time in 68 years, the star attraction chose isolation. He tried to live out the week in his own world and let everything else happen around week, he has embraced home comforts and accepted the adulation, from his red-eye Monday practice round through to being roared on by thousands on the 72nd hole. He has given people his time, signed countless autographs, acknowledged adoring fans in between shots. He even gave everyone a bonus look at the Green result has been a week that, in his words, had everything but his second Claret Jug. His consolation was one of the most emotional receptions he has ever experienced on a golf course. As he strode towards the final green on Sunday, McIlroy admirably held it together. Clearly, it wasn't easy."I tried as best as I could to keep my emotions in check, especially walking up the last there and that reception," said McIlroy, who closed with a two-under 69 to finish seven adrift of Scottie Scheffler."It's been an awesome week. I've gotten everything I wanted out of this week apart from a Claret Jug, and that's just because one person was just a little bit better than the rest of us."I feel so thankful and just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of this crowd. Hopefully I'll have one or two Opens left here, if the R&A decide to keep coming back, probably one while I'm still competitive and another one while I'm more grey than I already am." McIlroy's play was a microcosm of his career. At times, he was a showman (Saturday's eagle on 12), while at others he got in his own way (three bogeys in four holes on Thursday and a double at 10 on Sunday). Ultimately, he gave himself too much to do going into the final round. Trailing Scheffler by six, McIlroy needed quick birdies to ignite the crowd and make the frontrunner as uncomfortable as possible. A two-under 34 on the front nine failed to do that and when McIlroy frittered away two shots on the 10th, it was clear the championship was beyond his reach. The crowd remained huge, but the energy was different to Saturday, and that "keep your head up, Rory" could be heard regularly was a reflection of a challenge fizzling out. "I felt like I did nine, and 10 today were the ones that killed me," he added."Not that...I was never going to get to 17-under, I don't think." What's next for McIlroy? A tie for seventh drew the curtain on an unforgettable major season for McIlroy. It started with the career high at the Masters as he realised a lifelong ambition and finally completed his career Grand Slam. A month later, he barely broke into the top 50 at the US PGA Championship, but his week was overshadowed by a failed driver test and his media shutout. He let his temper get the better of him at times at the US Open, but the emotions stirred by Portrush were much more positive. Now, he can reflect during a down period, before finishing out his season with the FedEx Cup play-offs and the Ryder Cup in New York. "I feel like being back in Europe for a bit was a nice reset," said McIlroy, who added he will maintain a light playing schedule in order to be "fresh" for Europe's bid to retain the Ryder Cup. "Yeah, I feel like I'm getting back to where I want to be, and we've still got a lot of golf left this year with obviously Ryder Cup being the big one in there in September." 'Scheffler the bar we're trying to reach' McIlroy was keen to praise Scheffler during his final meeting with the media at Portrush. Since the Northern Irishman's triumph at Augusta, Scheffler has responded by doubling his major tally and ticking off another two legs in his own slam hunt. "None of us could hang with Scottie this week. He's an incredible player. He's been dominant this week. Honestly, he's been dominant for the last couple years. He is the bar that we're all trying to get to."In a historical context, you could argue that there's only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run, the one that Scottie's been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive."Finally, having buried the pain of 2019, McIlroy was asked about the prospect of Opens at Portrush in the future. "I think Portrush has quickly turned into one of the best two or three venues that The Open goes to. Talk to every player this week, and they won't say one single bad thing about the golf course."Then I just think the way it sets up, from a logistical standpoint, I think the R&A have worked so well with the local government to make sure everything runs smoothly. "It's only been six years since 2019. I'm not sure Portrush is going to have The Open every six years, that would be nice, but I would obviously love it to keep coming back."If and when it does, McIlroy will be front and centre. Whenever that is, he'll know which approach to take.
