Partying through the pain: Vanessa Feltz 'haunted by heartbreak' one year on
Christmas is supposed to be a time filled with love and laughter, but for Vanessa Feltz, this festive season is likely to bring back painful memories of past heartache. It was on 25 december 2022 that Vanessa, 61, learned that her fiancé of 16 years, Ben Ofoedu, had cheated on her multiple times, sending her world into freefall. Phats & Small singer Ben’s bed-hopping came to light when an anonymous lover sent Vanessa’s daughters, Allegra, 37, and Saskia, 34, “abusive and extremely hurtful” messages on social media, as they prepared to tuck into their family meal.
