The 61-year-old TV presenter – who split from long-term partner Ben Ofoedu in February after 16 years following revelations he had cheated on her multiple times – has been announced for the upcoming series of the E4 dating show alongside the likes of Lottie Moss and Chloe Burrows.
This year’s lineup was revealed on Thursday evening, with Adam Collard, Mark-Francis Vandelli and Spuddz rounding things off.
And although we’ve got to wait and see how Vanessa gets on, it looks like the TV personality is living her best life.
The journalist was seen with a smile on her face and a spaghetti strap maxi dress as she left a restaurant in London.
Talking about her experience on the show, she recently admitted she was ‘terrified’.
She said: ‘Shock! Absolutely shocked to the core – terrified, shocked you know all that stuff. Also quite fun.’
Talking about finding her ‘dream man’ on the reality dating series, Vanessa added to The Mirror: ‘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.’
She added that she doesn’t ‘like being single’, but putting herself out there has been ‘daunting’.
She elsewhere admitted she still doesn’t have ‘closure’, saying: ‘I think I’ve got a bit of a way before I get any closure. I don’t know about closure but it’s definitely a distraction. A good old distraction.’
Vanessa’s daughter Allegra found out about the cheating on Christmas day after an anonymous Instagram message – which was also ‘abusive’ – tipped her off.
Deciding to tell her mother promptly, Ben and Vanessa split shortly after.
Celebs Go Dating returns to E4 later this year.
