If anyone is living life to the fullest these days, it's Vanessa Feltz. And she certainly deserves it after being left "betrayed and panic-stricken" just over a year ago.
In late 2022- on Christmas Day, to be exact-the 62-year-old had her heart broken when it emerged that her fiancé of 16 years, singer Ben Ofoedu, had cheated on her.
She vowed to her fans, "I am not going to let this defeat me." Now, fast forward 14 months and Vanessa has stayed true to her word. In fact, she's jumping head first into the dating world and making her happiness a priority.
"Vanessa is just enjoying being out there on the dating scene right now, she's going on the odd date but there's nothing too serious going on with anyone," a source exclusively told us.
"She's having fun and men love her."
Vanessa first locked eyes with musician Ben, 51, in 2005 and their whirlwind romance saw them get engaged after just one year of dating. The couple originally planned to tie the knot the following year, but never made it down the aisle.
In January, Vanessa confirmed their split in a raw and revealing video message to fans, saying, "I feel incredibly sad and I'm pretty disappointed." Since then, the TV star has been adjusting to single life and even revealed that she had "more than 385 nights out in a row" before she was ready to spend a night alone.
