Gogglebox's Stephen Webb channels co-star in hilarious photo
Gogglebox's Stephen Webb has posted a funny snap inspired by one of his co-stars.
The reality TV star channeled his inner Ellie Warner in a picture posted on Instagram in which he rocks glasses and a pink sweater. Though Ellie is known for her colourful hair transformations (ranging from lilac to pink and other shades in between), Stephen wore a blonde wig.
Stephen also chose an image of Ellie to create a side-by-side, replicating her grinning smile in his.

"gurl we were separated at birth," he joked in the caption, tagging his castmate.
"TWIN," Ellie replied, adding a series of laughing and heart-eyed emojis.
Prompted by the exchange, one fan shared their elevator pitch for a little twist on Gogglebox.
"we need a gogglebox crossover where everyone switches couch partners," they suggested.

Stephen is a Gogglebox veteran, having appeared since the first season of the show aired in 2013. Ellie joined the cast on season six with her sister Izzi.
Earlier this year, Stephen shared an infuriating incident occurred to him and his husband Daniel Lustig during Pride month.
The couple were the target of homophobic abuse in Brighton at the end of June, as Stephen explained on Instagram.
The star posted an LGBTQ+ rainbow flag, detailing the incident and receiving the support of his followers.
"Last night Daniel and I were called 'f**king f***ots', this was on hove sea front!" he wrote in the caption. "The fight continues! Be aware be safe! #gay #pride #homophobiastillexists."
The post was met with an outpouring of support from fans of Gogglebox. Even Good Will Hunting Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver, recently seen as Seanchaí in The Witcher: Blood Origin, showed her support to the pair by posting a red heart emoji.
Gogglebox airs and streams on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
