Vanessa Feltz doesn’t take cheating lightly, and her fiancé – er, ex-fiancé – Ben Ofoedu learned that the hard way.
The 60-year-old British TV personality has reportedly thrown the Phats & Small singer, 50, out of her house after she found out he’d cheated on her on several occasions.
She Called Off Their Engagement
Before he found himself homeless, Ofoedu had been living with the talk show host in a Gothic-style London mansion worth £3.5 million. They’d been together since 2006, but Feltz has now called off their engagement.
He Confirmed The Cheating Allegations
After the broadcaster admitted earlier this month that she’d ended their relationship, Ofoedu sat down with the Sunday Mirror for an interview. He confessed he had indeed been unfaithful but claimed he had a compelling reason.

The Woman In Ibiza
Regarding the woman in Ibiza, he said, “I met her on the gig scene. She was the same age as Vanessa, possibly older. She took a shine to me, said lots of nice things.”

He continued, “Over a short period of time we had sex three times. It was purely sexual, there were no feelings involved. It felt like a chore. I just fell back into it with her to keep her sweet and everything under wraps.”
Why He Cheated
On why he cheated, Ofoedu explained that he felt “insecure” about Feltz’s reluctance to marry him even after years of engagement. The other woman was flirting with him and he’d been drinking as well, which together became “a recipe for disaster.”
Why Feltz Didn’t Want To Get Married Again
The journalist had previously discussed why she was reluctant to tie the knot again, saying her divorce from her ex-husband, surgeon Michael Kurer, played a huge factor. They were married for almost two decades before splitting in 2000.
