Vanessa Feltz 'extremely angry' after ex Ben 'twisted knife' with latest claims

Vanessa Feltz is fuming over her ex Ben Ofoedu's latest comments about their relationship, according to reports.

The TalkTV presenter, 61, dumped the Phats and Small star, 51, earlier this year after finding out he'd been unfaithful multiple times across their 16-year relationship. But Ben has recently denied he is serial cheat, claiming the real reason the couple broke up was because Vanessa refused to married him.

Claiming the Celebs Go Dating star has been 'deeply hurt' by the comments, a source said: "Ben's latest comments understandably hurt Vanessa a lot and further twisted a knife on a wound that is yet to heal and is still extremely raw.

"She was extremely angry over his latest remarks – excusing him of changing the narrative and weasel out of his own mistakes by trying to pin the blame on her when he had already spoken out and confessed," reports Closer magazine.

Ben admitted he cheated on the mum-of-two three times with another woman in an interview with the Sunday Mirror in February. He confessed to having sex with an older woman while he was performing in Ibiza in 2015 while Vanessa was at home. Ben also admitted to sexting another fan.

Speaking of the woman he met in Ibiza, he said: “It was purely sexual, there were no feelings involved,” he said. “It felt like a chore. I just fell back into it with her to keep her sweet and everything under wraps.” Ben went on to state he “should have got some help after the first dalliance” and cheated because he was “insecure”. “I knew there was an insecurity,” he said. “But I papered over the cracks and if you don’t tackle something it reared its head.

“I cheated because I was insecure. The girl in Ibiza said things like ‘You’re such a great guy. I don’t know why you’re not married. Who wouldn’t want to marry you?’ That coupled with alcohol was a recipe for disaster. It was a volatile situation. That’s why that happened.”

However, last week he claimed Vanessa's apparent refusal to marry him sparked their split as he said: “I wanted to be married, but she [Vanessa] didn't want that so we were going in different directions. I was so in love and I didn't see that so I thought one day we would get married, but that wasn't on the cards. She just wanted a companion.“

While Vanessa is said to be hurt by Ben's backtracking, a source said it's validated her decision to terminate their 16-year relationship. They said: “As upsetting as this is, it's also helped Vanessa confirm her deepest fears about Ben and validate how right she was to end things – insisting he is not the person she fell in love with all those years ago.“

The Mirror has contacted Vanessa's reps for comment.
