I’ve been out 121 nights in a row – I can’t face being home alone, says Vanessa Feltz after split with fiance Ben Ofoedu
VANESSA Feltz has admitted to staying out late a whopping 121 nights on the trot after her heartbreaking split from ex fiance Ben Ofoedu.
The TalkTV host, 60, ended their 16-year relationship recently after discovering evidence Ben, 59, had cheated on her.
Ben previously admitted his love rat behaviour and told how he “regretted” his actions.
Vanessa has since been candid about her emotions, recently admitting she “hadn’t had a chance to cry.”
Now she has told Best Magazine she is keeping herself busy by staying away from home.
The This Morning agony aunt agreed she had been out every night, as she confessed: “The split was a terrible shock.
“It happened 17 weeks ago on Saturday…
“What is that? 17 x 7 plus four, so that will be 121 nights out in a row!”
She added: “I don’t want to walk into my house and be lonely.
“I’m not sitting there in an empty space. I can’t face it.
“I don’t like the silence.
“I’m not calm or comfortable enough yet to do that.
“I don’t want to watch TV or take a scented bath.”
Vanessa previously told how her and Ben’s busy work schedules meant they hardly saw each other before their split.
Additionally, last year at the British Lifestyle Awards, Ben spoke to The Sun about their romance, saying they were “polar opposites.”
He explained that he was busy trying to become an Agony Uncle, and that their conflicting work schedules meant they didn’t see much of each other.
As a result he said: “We’re not as together as much as people think we are.”
Meanwhile, Vanessa opened up about the situation during her usual slot on This Morning, with hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby revealing they’ve been supporting her behind the scenes.
The agony aunt told her ITV colleagues that she felt “sad, hurt and terribly humiliated.”
Vanessa told the pair that Ben’s alleged infidelity was “a terrible shock” and “also a kind of gradual thing” as she pieced things together.
The affair came to light after his lover contacted her daughter on Christmas Day.
Vanessa continued: “I don’t want to dwell on the details, I really do want to focus on the future.”
