Vanessa Feltz has no class, TV star's ex Ben Ofoedu claims after their bitter split

The former fiancé of Vanessa Feltz has hit back at her savage comments and claimed she handled their split with "no class" thanks to the release of her tell-all memoir. Singer Ben Ofoedu and Vanessa's 16-year romance collapsed in 2023 when it was claimed the Phats & Small hitmaker, 52, had cheated on the 62-year-old TV star. In October last year, over a year on from their split, Vanessa took some swipes at her ex to promote the release of her latest book.
In Vanessa Bares All, the former BBC Radio 2 presenter talks about broken relationships, broadcasting and her continuing search for Mr Right. Asked ahead of the autobiography hitting shops, Vanessa claimed she didn't fear a reaction from ex Ben over her stories, quipping: "I don’t think he can read.".
Ben has now replied to his former fiancée's literacy taunts and revealed: "We haven’t made peace, and I don’t speak to her." The singer, who is now dating 29-year-old Vanessa Lana Brown, continued: "She wrote some terrible things about me in her book, and I felt there was no need for it.".
Speaking at the Boyzone: No Matter What premiere on Monday night, Ben added to the MailOnline: "I just think Vanessa Feltz has done it in incredibly bad taste, and with no class at all. "I would rather not have anything to do with her. We were together for 17 years and the way she spoke about me in her book just shows me I’m incredibly glad not to be in her life any more.".
Promoting her book in October, Vanessa confessed that she was still going out every night, more than 20 months after separating from Ben. “I’ve been out every single night since and this is now 20 months. What’s that? 600 nights? And I’m still doing it," the radio presenter declared.
