This Morning's Vanessa Feltz makes sad admission after split from partner

This Morning star Vanessa Feltz has made a sad admission after her split from her partner.

The 63-year-old broadcaster initially tied the knot with surgeon Michael Kurer back in 1983, before their marriage ended in divorce in 2000. Together they welcomed daughters Allegra and Saskia, and now have four grandchildren.

Vanessa later got engaged to musician Ben Ofoedu in 2006. Despite initially planning to wed the following year, the couple remained engaged throughout their time together without getting married.

In February 2023, Vanessa revealed that she and Ben had called time on their relationship.

Shortly after their separation, Vanessa opened up on This Morning about coping with the split, reports Wales Online.

"People have been amazing. Absolutely amazing, and of course it helps a lot," she told presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby at the time.

"I can't sleep at all, so reading thousands and thousands of messages from lovely people on Instagram is something to do in the night."

She added: "When you have to end a relationship it's very hard. I've had what feels like millions of messages from so, so many people going through it.

"I wouldn't want to minimise in any way what it's like when you're heartbroken. It's horrible."

More than two years later, Vanessa has provided a fresh insight into her life post-split, where she made a sad admission.

During an interview with Radio Times, Vanessa was quizzed about who has control over the television remote in her household.

She candidly replied: "I live on my own these days. I've been out every night for two years and five months.

"There have only been maybe five nights where it's been me in front of the TV with my dinner on a tray, because I don't want to be at home, eating alone."

Vanessa currently presents her self-titled Channel 5 daytime talk show, which was advertised as a rival to ITV favourite Loose Women.

Yet, the programme has come under fire recently, racking up nearly 2,000 Ofcom complaints following an episode that sparked controversy over allegedly "misleading" content regarding breastfeeding.

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am. Vanessa Feltz's full interview can be read in the upcoming issue of Radio Times
