Vanessa Feltz’s cheating ex-fiance is finding her appearance on Celebs Go Dating tough to watch.
Phats & Small singer Ben Ofoedu, 51, was revealed as a philanderer when a woman he had been sext-messaging behind Vanessa's back contacted one of her daughters with bombshell intel on Christmas Day last year. Vanessa, 61, and Ben had been engaged since December 2006 and until it emerged that he was a serial cheat, the couple were regarded as having one of the strongest unions in showbiz.
