VANESSA Feltz's brief romance with Tinder's most eligible bachelor has already come to an end.

The legendary broadcaster, 62, and 33-year-old Stefan-Pierre Tomlin have called it a day after concluding they are 'just friends'.

Vanessa was spotted being wined and dined by Stefan, who is 'the most swiped man on Tinder', in March.

The love coach treated her to a three course meal at Sheesh in London's Mayfair and they were said to have chatted 'for hours and hours'.

But an insider has now revealed to The Sun that any hint of romance sizzled out very rapidly.

The source said: “Stefan has been telling friends there’s nothing between him and Vanessa and that it was over before it begun.

"He was a good distraction for her following her split from Ben, but they’re better off as friends.”

The Sun has contacted Vanessa's rep for comment.

Vanessa split with her fiancé Ben Ofoedu in early 2023 after he cheated on her multiple times.

Despite being initially apologetic, Ben is reportedly now engaged to Precious Muir - who is 17 years his junior and starred in reality TV programme The Circle - and has changed his tune.

In February, the Phats & Small star told the Daily Mail: "I wasn't very clever with my last relationship. I didn't look at where the person was, and love was blinding me."

He added: "I gave myself to someone for a quarter of my life and ultimately I got nothing from it… it's absolutely heartbreaking."

Vanessa, meanwhile, has thrown herself into finding love again and even took part in Celebs Go Dating last year.

Unfortunately, she did not meet her match.

Vanessa, who was with Ben for 17 years, even launched a blistering attack on the Celebs Go Dating agents after being "triggered" by her ex.

She accused Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson of matching her with an "identikit of a relationship" she had just come out of.

Vanessa was first linked to Stefan-Pierre after being pictured with him on the red carpet at several events, including the TV premiere of The Red King, in March.

Stefan-Pierre had found fame in 2017 after receiving 14,600 right-swipes on Tinder, earning him the title of Mr Tinder.

But Vanessa did not meet him on the dating site. They were said to have hit it off after being introduced at a showbiz party.

In October last year, Stefan-Pierre had claimed to have already found Miss Right. He fell for NHS nurse Leanne Noakes, 32, while attending his local hospital.

Stefan-Pierre said at the time: “We met while I was being treated for a minor football injury at the hospital where she works.

“She is an A&E nurse who whisked me off my feet and back to health."

The romance didn't last.
