Vanessa Feltz appears close to tears as she's asked 'how do you really feel' after split

Vanessa Feltz appeared emotional as she was asked 'how do you really feel' weeks after announcing her heartbreaking split. The TalkTV host shared her heartache earlier this month when she revealed her 16-year relationship with Ben Ofoedu was over.

The pair have been no stranger to talking about their relationship or putting on public displays of affection but speaking out on Sunday, February 5, Vanessa told her followers that she was "shocked" and "incredibly sad" as she addressed the split. In a frank video message she said the trust had been broken in their relationship.

The following day Ben, who shot to fame as one half of the dance duo Phats &Small in 1998 with the massive hit Turn Around, shared a picture of a broken heart emoji on his Instagram Stories. He has since spoken out on the split, admitting he cheated on his partner in an exclusive interview with The Mirror.

Vanessa, who spent Valentine's Day on a healing trip to Ireland with her family, said she's "marching on" after the heartache
