Vanessa Feltz

I thought that. Like she’s been crying all night. Poor Vanessa.
Gawd I remember that feeling when my first relationship ended, obv a few months are not comparable to a 16 year live in relationship which Vanessa had though. I remember I cried every night for probably the first 3 months, then down to maybe every few night, I was still crying occasionally 2 years later. I'm sure most of us have been there, it's not nice having your heart broken
 
From Popbitch…
Vanessa Feltz and Ben Ofoedu's 'shock split' hasn't come as a shock to everybody. The only shock for those who have worked with Ben over panto season is that this hadn't happened sooner.

It became an ongoing company joke on one show about how many ladies Ben could get through over the festive season. One Xmas party he did particularly well, snogging three dancers, groping another and leaving with one of the backstage team (all fully consensual – and he was good fun to have around...)

Sly references to his pulling prowess even started creeping into the script. He was fully happy to laugh along with it as it helped his reputation among female staff. Except for the day Vanessa was in to watch the show. Then there was an awkward onstage pause before the cast moved past it.

Surely if that many people knew, word must have got back to Vanessa that he was playing around all the time. She's well connected, she knows a lot of people.
 
Im sure its been mentioned on tattle threads years ago what a cheater he was.
Must have a look at that. I wonder what Vanessa's daughters thought of him? Did they see him as a golddigger? I saw a few vids on IG where he was interacting with the grandchildren and they seemed to like him - but who knows behind closed doors things may have been more tense with the daughters.
 
The photo she has up on her stories holding her granddaughter you can see a real sadness in her eyes she looks like she’s been crying. Maybe I’m being naive but I don’t think this spilt is fake and is a publicity stunt.
I live in Ireland and I can tell you that the Wind on the east coast and west is more than enough to make your eyes water, doesn’t look like crying to me that’s our wind and she lives right on the coast
 
This is the first affair isn't it (I say first but who knows what he's got up to over the years)? I was feeling vaguely sympathetic toward her until I read the email she sent. I feel that there might be a decent way to word an email of that type and that isn't it!

I wonder if the latest one will sell a story or if she's too embarrassed given she sent horrible messages to Vanessa's daughter.
 
His bit on the side has sold a story in todays DM.
Saw that and from the information she has given it’s very easy to find out Who she is!! Club owner in Ibiza who booked phats and small ( dick energy)
She calls it says media has made her out to be a Trollop, OPP darling other peoples property
Yes he’s a player but a woman who is in her 50s shouldn’t be playing with someone else’s Man, Trollop is the very least you could call her, Home wrecking Hoe
 
Well, I’ve remained quiet in this thread until now. Sometimes you just want to let the wind blow over so to speak. Thanks to @VeeJayBee for tagging me in a couple of pages ago. Following with interest. Do wish Tattle would change the layout of the forum a bit to make it a bit clearer!😂

Well it’s all getting quite multi layered this story isn’t it.
I’m not going to criticise the woman too much who has sold her story to the Daily Mail today, there’s something quite innocently transparent about it actually. Plus I also feel it’s relevant to pick up on the fact she obviously isn’t short of money and has donated her entire fee to multiple charities for the article… so that shows some integrity. Good on her for playing back to the press as a tool whilst thoroughly shaming Ben I say. Not many people get the chance for a comeback when an article is published about them, and she obviously didn’t want to be branded a trollop, and she’s made Ben look even more of a disgusting piece of work hasn't she really.
I do think the tone of the email she sent Vanessa could have been a little bit more warming and less cutting to the point, but at the end of the day feelings were running high and she was unsure what the response would be. Regardless it would end in upset, so she may as well have got straight to it. Hardly something to be cuddly and warming about is it. That was obviously regarding the first bit of infidelity Vanessa knew about.
You can forgive something once, but of course, had she dug further at the time she would have saved 5 years worth of heartache and aggravation, just the tip of the iceberg.
I would be far more interested for the woman to speak out, who messaged Vanessa’s daughter at Christmas, but of course, the vile scumbag can’t speak out because her messages were abusive and harmful towards Vanessa and her family and it’s a police matter. Let’s hope it never sees the light of day.

I don’t know what to say really, firstly, I must say, I think it’s incredibly heartwarming to see on comments on all these articles the last few weeks just how much respect and kindness people seem to have for Vanessa, I will be honest when I say, I’m surprised. I thought she was considered a little condescending by the general public. Just goes to show how Twitter is not the majority man’s opinion. It’s really nice to see support for her. I think even she will be overwhelmed to be honest.
I hope this brings in more viewers/listeners to her Talk TV show. It really was the best career move I’ve seen anybody make. The stories she’s covered and had to deal with since moving last year has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Thank goodness she’s well connected and very close to her family. I have no doubt she will be fine. I actually think it has sprung new life into her. I know for a fact she hates being on her own at home and coming back to an empty house… but I feel she will embrace it or move a friend in or something. Maybe there is a fear of being alone in those dark moments. She isn’t a love sick teen though, but she is a woman who is desperate to be loved by a man and find a real fairytale. There lies her downfall. That’s her weak spot.

The worst career move she made, and I don’t know if anybody recalls, we need to go back 10 years or more, it was a show she did on Channel 5. A chat show and she actually hosted it with Ben. They were painted as the new Richard and Judy. Let’s just say I was involved with it at the time shall we. It really was horrendous and awful, why? Because of that piece of scum beside her! Nauseating pillock to put it politely. Ruining any credibility she brought to the proceedings.
Sat beside her grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Clips on the Internet of it are few and far between. It really was a misstep for her to have Ben on it and that was thus the shows downfall unfortunately. Of course nowadays, chat shows aren’t really a thing bar Loose Women and we know what that’s like these days. Lost any sort of credibility, note how Vanessa has never appeared as a panellist. Says it all.

Vanessa was in my life once in a professional and person capacity as a friend. Time unfortunately led us to losing contact, but we knew each other for a good 7 years and let’s just say non of this news re Ben is surprising, but she was truly madly and deeply in love. It’s as simple as that. Love. Is. Blind. What a true saying.

V has transformed herself into a knowledgable and appreciated host. Some may find her intelligence off putting or even patronised because of it, but embrace her, she’s fun to learn from, and always makes you think about a story from both angles. It’s a wonderful journalistic skill.

Power to you Vanessa. I’m presuming she’s back at Talk next week.

Will she, when her heart mends a little have a bit of fun by appearing on a few of those Celeb dating shows? I would say that’s almost a definitive yes. So expect to see a bit more of her, as long as it’s tasteful then good on her. It will be a journey to follow that’s for sure.She’s got the spirit of a teenager! Always will have. 😂 Just hope that she doesn’t continually paint the picture of a lonely woman in her 60’s, I’m sure she won’t and she isn’t. It will be nice to see a woman of her age in her process to “find love” in whatever form. Because that truly is all she wants.

Regarding BBC Radio London and some comments made by a fellow “former” friend. I just hope they’re not as they’ve come across, because in which case, Joanne Good if you read this, which I’m sure your ego will ensure you do. It’s not very classy, nor is it very nice to make digs at a former friend through your own ailing radio show. Especially any comments regarding weight. Though in Joanne’s case, it’s clear she’s frightened of Vanessa’s intelligence as a few are. Nothing is worse than jealousy. 🥴
 
I bet she was smart about it. She has two massive houses and lots of money. Why would she marry him and potentially give him half of what she worked so hard for?
Thank God she didn't marry him! Must have had a sixth sense. In the UK, would be be entitled to anything from her under the "common-law husband" thing, since they lived together for so many years? Hope not.

No I don’t believe he’s entitled to anything if certain paperwork is signed. On the basis she hasn’t married him and is quite savvy I’m sure she covered any eventuality in advance. Luckily not that stupid!😄
