Gogglebox star Stephen Webb has claimed he was the victim of a homophobic attack in Brighton, while with his husband.
Stephen, 52, joined Gogglebox in its first series back in 2013 and now makes regular appearances with husband Daniel Lustig.
He was out in Brighton with his husband when they were called a homophobic slur.
Taking to Instagram after the horrific event, he shared a picture of the Pride flag.
He accompanied the image with: ‘Last night Daniel and I were called “f**king f****ts” this was on hove sea front!
‘The fight continues! Be aware be safe! #gay #pride #homophobiastillexists.’
The post was showered in love and support, with one person writing: ‘It’s pathetic that so many people are obsessed with others’ relationships. They must be utterly miserable in their own lives. Ignore them and be proud.’

Another said: ‘What the actual F ! Unreal, uneducated and unacceptable you guys are amazing.’
‘They picked the wrong town. Come to think of it the wrong decade. Sorry you had to deal with someone else’s major character flaws x,’ another wrote.
Stephen has previously hit back at homophobic trolls on social media.
In May 2020,he shared with his followers a screenshot of the remark which was aimed at his sexuality.

It is unclear what the comment was referring too but it read: ‘He is everything I detest about flamboyant gays’.
The hairdresser replied: ‘What a revolting homophobic comment! Please feel free to unfollow me you nasty woman.’
Gogglebox fans rushed to Stephen’s defence on social media with one commenting: ‘I’m so sorry that someone would talk to you in that disgusting manner.
‘NO ONE should be abused in that way. Just shows a mindless and spiteful nature. Lots of love to you x please carry on just being you!’
Gogglebox is available to watch on All4.
