Vanessa Feltz has made it clear she has no interest in dating younger men any time soon.
The 61-year-old TV presenter split from Ben Ofoedu, her partner of 17 years, in February after it emerged he had cheated on her multiple times.
Ben was ten years younger than Vanessa.
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 explaining her decision to sign up for 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.’
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 comes after Vanessa shared her nerves on her way to the first date, posting a clip to social media.
‘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.
