Vanessa Feltz’s ex fiance Ben Ofoedu breaks his silence after cheating allegations
VANESSA Feltz’s ex fiance Ben Ofoedu has broken his silence following the end of their 16-year relationship.
Ben, 50, is accused of cheating on TV favourite Vanessa, 60.
Furious fans slammed him as “disrespectful” for “ignoring” the break-up in recent days on social media.
He has since shared a picture of a broken heart emoji on Instagram.
The Sun on Sunday revealed their shock split after horrified Vanessa claimed to have discovered Ben’s “double life” in a string of emails and social media messages.
Ben has now moved out of their £3.5million home in St John’s Wood, North London, after being dumped by the TalkTV legend.
Vanessa has thanked people for their support as she put on a brave face in an emotional video on social media.
She fought back tears as she opened up about her break-up with 50-year-old Phats & Small singer Ben.
The presenter said she was “incredibly sad” about the end of the 16-year relationship.
Vanessa claims to have discovered evidence that she believed proved her fiancé Ben had cheated on her with several women, leaving her “disappointed” and “shocked”.
“Well I haven’t been on instagram for three weeks and that’s because my relationship with Ben is over after sixteen years and I honestly didn’t know what to say to you on instagram.
“But now it’s clear that it’s over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone then you can’t really get it back and that’s what I would tell anyone else to do.”
She choked up as she continued: “And so I just wanted to say that obviously I feel incredibly sad and I am pretty disappointed and shocked and all those horrible things but also full of resolve. I am not going to let this defeat me.”
As the story of their split broke, Ben shared a defiant post sitting on a train, beaming and laughing as he bopped his head and sang along to Fleetwood Mac track Dreams.
The iconic song includes the lyrics: “Thunder only happens when it’s raining, players only love you when they’re playing.”
Ben doesn’t sing those words, instead using the opening lyrics: “Now here you go again, you say…”
“On the train vibez again 🔥🔥🔥,” he wrote while sitting in first class. “God bless if you’re reading this.”
