And in a twist fans will not want to miss, he is turning to First Dates: Be My Valentine in the hope of finding the love of his life.
The 50-year-old hairdresser is putting his faith in Fred Sirieix and the First Dates team to help him meet The One.
In tonight’s Valentine’s Day special on Channel 4, Daniel sits down for dinner with Simon, 49, a paramedic who lives just 20 minutes away.

As viewers will see, conversation soon turns to Daniel’s marriage and what really led to the break up.
And he makes a very surprise admission.
Why did Gogglebox’s Daniel Lustig Webb split from Stephen?
Long-time Gogglebox fans will recognise Daniel instantly. He appeared on the Channel 4 hit from 2019 alongside Stephen and their beloved poodles.
Before Daniel joined, Stephen had starred with his ex and friend Chris Ashby Steed.
The pair confirmed they were leaving Gogglebox in September 2023. Stephen later said he had grown ‘bored of his jokes’.
He told 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 [bleep].”
Six months later, Daniel and Stephen announced they were getting divorced. Daniel has since stressed there was nothing “scandalous” behind the decision.
Speaking on Best’s Suddenly Single podcast, he explained: “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 later tried his luck on E4’s Celebs Go Dating. However, he did not find a new partner on the show.
