Breaking up with an ex and still having to live with them is an absolute no from us - we'd rather sleep under our desk at work; throw taking part in Celebs Go Dating into the mix and we would rather walk on hot coals for the rest of our young lives.

Turns out former Goggleboxstar Stephen Webb did find himself in such a scenario and so we had to quiz him on just how hellish the experience was.

During the Celebs Go Dating press party we caught up with Stephen and his fellow CGD co-star Helen Flanagan and they dished all the dirt.

"We're not actually divorced, but we are in the process," Stephen revealed when we asked whether he still lived with his ex-partner.

"We're trying to sell our apartment, so anyone that wants to buy a flat..."

To be fair, the housing market is not ideal at the moment so if Stephen fancies doing us a cheeky deal on his house, we may well take him up on the offer.

"Yeah, we are still living together, separate rooms now," he went on and thank goodness for that spare room, eh?

We also asked Stephen whether he found the set up awkward, what with him going on dates and potentially meeting his new bae while still living with his former love, but Stephen handled the situation like a proper adult.

"Although we only announced it almost a year ago, we knew longer that we were splitting up and we got to a place where we were both comfortable with that," he went on.

Very demure, very mindful.

"We could talk about that and other people and that's when we announced it, so now we are in a good place."

To be fair, prior to his stint on the dating show, Stephen's ex, Robert, did offer his support for the reality TV star.

"Anything he goes on to do, I’ll definitely support him and watch," he told The Sun, "He’s got some very very funny stories if he is going on it."
