Vanessa Feltz, who was occasionally seen on This Morning on ITV, wed musician Ben Ofoedu in 2006, but despite making plans to do so in the years since, they never got married.
Vanessa Feltz has admitted she feels “demoralised and unattractive” when potential relationships don’t work out.
The broadcaster has been introduced to men following her split with musician Ben Ofoedu, 53, earlier this year, but despite the rendezvous, nothing significant has stuck, it is thought. Vanessa, 63, became tearful when she confirmed she and Ben ended things in 2023, having been together for nearly 20 years.
The unlucky-in-love presenter stated this week that she prefers friends to introduce her to potential partners and doesn’t use dating websites. She continued, “It’s difficult. I’m too well-known to appear on websites. Although a friend might like to introduce me, it’s difficult to resist feeling demoralized and unattractive when it doesn’t work.
Up until their divorce in 2000, Vanessa, who is originally from north London, was married to surgeon Michael Kurer for 15 years. With Michael, she has four children and two grandchildren. Vanessa recalled her split from Michael in a previous interview saying she was “too open” to her daughters regarding “information and my emotions.”

However, as her children grew older and forged a lasting friendship with the singer, Vanessa started dating him. They got engaged in 2006, but they never got married or split up in 2023 despite planning to tie the knot in the years that followed. Vanessa previously stated that it was obvious that the relationship was broken, and that Vanessa believes that anyone who loses trust in it cannot truly recover.
“And so I just wanted to let you know that I’m obviously very depressed, shocked, and all of those horrible things, but also very determined. I won’t let this derail me.
Her followers on Instagram showed huge support for the star, who was on Celebrity Big Brother in 2001, around one year after her divorce.
The latest heartbreaking admission, said to a Daily Mail reporter at an event this week, comes as Vanessa continues to present her self-titled TV show on Channel 5. Devised as a chat show to rival Loose Women in the lunchtime slot, the programme sees Vanessa discuss topical issues and debates with a panel of guests, often including model Nicola McLean, presenter Sarah Cawood and journalist Afua Hagan.
