Married couple Steph and Dom Parker left Gogglebox 10 years ago
They were firm favourites on Gogglebox until their exit in 2016 – but what have Steph and Dom Parker been up to since?
The beloved couple joined the long-running Channel 4 show back in 2013 for its first series – and it’s fair to say it didn’t take them long to become a hit with fans.
Over the years, Steph and Dom – who have been married since 1998 – have had fans in stitches with their hilarious one-liners and comical takes on telly highlights.
However, the pair ended up leaving the programme in 2016. They went on to release their own book and feature in TV series like The Jump, Celebrity MasterChef, and Celebrity Hunted. But where are Steph and Dom now?
Steph and Dom’s property sale
In 2021, after facing financial struggles that left them in debt, Stephen and Dom sold their mansion in Sandwich, Kent, and moved to the Canary Islands.
The couple snapped up the stunning, huge Grade I-listed boutique hotel, where they filmed for the Channel 4 show in 2004. They then spent a further £2.5 million renovating The Salutation.
In 2020, the Parkers admitted that the company running the manor house would be liquidated and guests’ deposits would be lost. The hotel was subsequently shut.
Of the decision to sell, Dom told MailOnline: “Our lives have changed and moved on considerably, and we are not in a position to move permanently back to Sandwich.”
Steph’s ’near-death experience’
In 2019, Steph revealed she was ’20 minutes from death’ after she was struck down by double pneumonia during Boxing Day the previous year, with Dom calling it a “near-death experience”.
Recalling how she felt before the attack, Steph told The Mirror: “I had started going a bit mad because I had no oxygen in my system.
“But I didn’t even realise it because when you are that sick you don’t really know what’s going on at all. Christmas is very busy in our home and we had been away working solidly in the run-up.
“I had to put a tree up and make everything happen in 24 hours. So I think I pushed myself too far, and it was just sheer exhaustion, which allowed infection in.”
Steph and Dom’s dog’s death
Steph and Dom are not strangers to keeping their 26.1k Instagram followers updated on their day-to-day life, following their Gogglebox exit.
In 2025, though, Steph and Dom were hit with heartbreak when their beloved dog, Gigi, who made several appearances on Gogglebox with Steph and Dom, sadly died.
Taking to their Instagram, they shared a photo of the collar of the miniature Dachshund, Gigi. In the caption, a heartbroken Steph and Dom said: “It is with a heavy heart that we share with you that we lost Gigi on Thursday 18th Sept in the early evening.
“She passed away at home, in our arms and has joined Coco over the bridge to continue their mischief and zoomies together.
“We wish we could be more eloquent with our words – but we have none – not yet – but she was loved by so many and you have all been so kind to her and us that we wanted to share this with you as soon as we could actually get the words down – we raise a large glass to ‘The Squeedge’.”
Steph and Dom’s new career move
Since their Gogglebox exit, Steph and Dom have also launched their own business; their very own gin called Steph and Dom’s Gin – Aftermath 1666.
The pair flog the beverage on its website for £36.40, with the pair revealing: “We are not aware of any other gin that boasts of tasting of oak or smoke! We may be proved wrong, but we’ve done it nonetheless.”
Talking about the drink, they added: “This is not a floral, fruity or wildly herby gin and nor is it reminiscent of wandering through Granny’s garden. This is a gin designed to enthral and to be drunk neat, with water or in a martini.”
In May, the pair took to their Instagram to promote the gin. In a video, Dom could be seen flogging their beverage as part of a ‘2 for £60’ special offer.
Gogglebox airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
