Vanessa Feltz, 60, has admitted on This Morning that she feels “humiliated” after splitting together with her partner of 16 years, Ben Ofoedu. This comes because the broadcaster and her ex sent open letters to one another last month to open up about what they wanted from one another of their relationship within the Recent Yr.
Vanessa’s romance with Ben gave the impression to be going from strength to strength, with the latter even surprising Vanessa on This Morning for her sixtieth birthday celebrations.
Nonetheless, Vanessa announced the shocking end to their relationship with a video on Instagram, and has now spoken in regards to the situation on the ITV show.
Just just a few weeks before announcing their split, Vanessa told Best magazine the duo had discussed their Recent Yr’s resolutions as a pair.
In addition they discussed within the letters what they wanted from one another to enhance their relationship.

Ben wrote to Vanessa: “I used to be kinda considering possibly you can do just a few things that will make our relationship stronger and cause less strife.
“I used to be considering you can loosen up a bit of once we argue and never need to win every disagreement – so unless it’s essential that certainly one of us is all the time ‘right’, I believe we will conform to disagree, as life is just too short for arguing.”
Vanessa then requested for Ben to drink less, and promised she would then stop obsessing over her time-keeping.
She also asked Ben to pass his driving test so he could change into the designated driver as she “had the privilege of doing it for 16 years”.
Vanessa first met Ben in 2005, having divorced surgeon Michael Kuror in 2000 on account of cheating allegations.
She and Michael were married for 17 years they usually share daughters Allegra, 37, and Saskia, 34.
Talking about Ben’s alleged cheating, Vanessa said: “It wasn’t me that told anybody about it, I attempted to maintain it private as much as I could.
“You recognize that everybody knows your private business, but however, you haven’t got to maintain explaining it and everybody gives you a cuddle.”
Vanessa was asked if she had a sense that Ben was being unfaithful or if her discovery was an entire shock.
Vanessa replied: “Each, I believe, terrible shock and a type of gradual thing, It’s often the case, a mix of the 2.
“I do not really need to dwell on anything and I would like to concentrate on the longer term and that there’s a future. I would like there to be. To actually gather all of the love and spend time having a very good time.
“We’re doing a phone-in about broken hearts, I do not know but in the event that they could call in and help me out and provides me advice.”
Ben has broken his silence on the situation by simply sharing a broken-heart emoji on social media.
