Former Gogglebox favourite Stephen Webb has shared a harrowing health update, revealing that a dramatic 35kg weight loss led to a shocking cancer diagnosis and an emergency dash to hospital.
The 52-year-old TV personality, who became a household name alongside his ex-husband Chris on the hit Channel 4 show, opened up about his terrifying ordeal in an emotional exclusive.
A Frightening Transformation
Webb's drastic weight loss, which he initially documented on social media, was far more sinister than fans could have imagined. What appeared to be a successful fitness journey was actually a devastating symptom of a hidden health crisis.
"I was rushed to hospital after the weight just kept falling off me," Webb revealed. "It was a terrifying time—I knew something was seriously wrong, but nothing could have prepared me for the cancer diagnosis."
Emergency Hospitalisation and Ongoing Battle
The popular star was admitted urgently after his condition rapidly deteriorated. Medical professionals discovered the underlying cause: a cancerous growth that required immediate attention.
While Webb has chosen to keep specific details about the type and stage of cancer private, he confirmed he is now undergoing treatment and remains determined to fight the disease.
Support From Fans and Co-Stars
The Gogglebox community has rallied around Webb, flooding social media with messages of support and well-wishes. His bravery in speaking out has been widely praised, with many noting how his story highlights the importance of investigating unexplained weight changes.
Webb appeared on the beloved Channel 4 series for several years, becoming known for his witty commentary and charismatic presence alongside then-husband Chris. The couple's relationship was a focal point of their storyline before they amicably split in 2018.
Since leaving the show, Webb has remained in the public eye, often sharing glimpses of his life with husband Daniel Lustig, whom he married in 2018.
His shocking health revelation serves as a powerful reminder of life's fragility, even for those who appear constantly in the public eye. Webb's courage in sharing his story is already helping to raise awareness about cancer symptoms and the importance of early detection.
