Vanessa Feltz has made it clear that she has no plans to date younger guys in the near future.
The 61-year-old TV host broke up with her partner of 17 years, Ben Ofoedu, in February after it came out that he had cheated on her more than once.
Vanessa was ten years older than Ben.
Speaking in a new interview, the star explained: ‘I’ve just spent 17 years with a man 10 years younger, so I’m considering not dating a younger man now.’
Vanessa was talking about why she chose to join the show Celebs Go Dating.
As for what she’s looking for in a new partner, the doting mum added to the Mirror: ‘Someone I can trust would be good and someone who meant what they said.
‘I think it would be lovely to have somebody you could actually trust.’
The host of This Morning has been open about her sadness and how much it has changed her. She was engaged to the 50-year-old Phats & Small singer.
Ahead of returning to the dating scene on Celebs Go Dating, alongside the likes of Love Island star Chloe Burrows, Vanessa has shared the impact the split had on her, also telling the outlet: ‘I’ve been so hurt, crushed and dismayed and worried about the future.
‘I will continue to believe that there are good people out there who mean what they say and say what they mean. I hope I’m not naïve and stupid by being optimistic.’
It happened after Vanessa posted a clip on social media about how nervous she was on her way to the first date.
‘Oh em ge,’ she began, relatable as ever.
‘Going off on my first date for Celebs Go Dating. I haven’t been on a date for 17 years so just imagine how I’m feeling.
‘I can’t even find the words to describe it and I’m good at words, so I don’t know.
‘But that is where I’m going this morning and I’m wishing you all a lovely, lovely Friday.’
Celebs Go Dating returns to E4 soon.
