Vanessa Feltz has addressed her split from Ben Ofoedu in a new video.

The TV star confirmed over the weekend that she’d broken up with her fiancé after a 16-year romance and confessed she’s ‘shocked, sad and disappointed’.

Vanessa posted a video on Sunday morning in which she shared more details about their split and revealed what’s next for her.

She said: ‘Well, I haven’t been on Instagram for three weeks and that’s because my relationship with Ben is over after 16 years and I honestly didn’t know what to say to you on Instagram.

‘But now it’s clear that it’s over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone you really can’t get it back, and that’s what I’d tell anyone else to do.’

The presenter added: ‘So I just wanted to say, obviously I feel incredibly sad, and I’m pretty disappointed and shocked and all those horrible things.

‘But also full of resolve. Because I’m not going to let this defeat me. I’m so glad to be living longer then my mum did.

Vanessa bravely concluded: ‘She died at 57 and I’m going to be 61 next month. So I feel very grateful to be alive and I want to carry on feeling that way and I want to celebrate and I want to find fun and laughter anywhere I can and I know it’s not going to be easy but I’m absolutely determined to do it.’
