Vanessa Feltz has made a thinly-veiled dig at her ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu following their recent split.
The 60 year old This Morning star, who announced she had broken up with Ben, 50, after 16 years together earlier this year, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a cryptic snap.
It comes as Ben has begged Vanessa to take him back following their split, when it was revealed he had cheated on her with several women.
Yet while Vanessa has been doing her best to move on and spend lots of time having fun with her celebrity pals, and ignored Ben's recent pleas, she appeared to make a sly dig on Thursday.
Along with a snap of her enjoying a day out at the zoo and posing with one of the reptiles draped around her neck, Vanessa wrote a seemingly pointed message over the top of her Instagram story.
"The only snake I want to deal with!!!" the daytime TV star declared, as she grinned away in the image.
Standing next to one of the zookeepers, Vanessa also tagged Leahy's Open Farm in Ireland for the shot.
Vanessa opted for a keenly-chosen animal print fleece, and a bright pink beanie hat to shield from the cold, as her signature platinum blonde locks were styled in loose waves underneath it.
Vanessa opted for leggings and a pair of pink wellies, as she shared a selection of further images enjoying some time with the farm animals.
In one, she snapped herself feeding some gorgeous white goats, while in another, Vanessa chatted to more staff next to the alpaca pen.
Later on, Vanessa proved that despite a rough few weeks, she still has her trademark sense of humour and blunt honesty as she showed off her skills making friendship bracelets with her feet as a base.
Wearing a pair of retro oversized pastel pink glasses and a matching sweater for the activity, the interviewer shut down her friend's scepticism, who was recording her, by insisting that tying the bracelet on her toe was "the only way to do it".
As part of the healing process after announcing her split, Vanessa has trekked off to East Cork for a much-needed visit with friends and some time out in the fresh air.
It comes as Ben, 50, said in an interview on Sunday that Vanessa, who he was with for 16 years, is the "queen of my heart," as he opened up on the split and apologised to Vanessa's family, as well as his own.
The Phats and Small singer said: “I’m sorry for all the pain caused to Vanessa, to her family, to mine. We had an amazing 16 years. It wasn’t perfect, but it was amazing. I truly love her. She’s the love of my life.
“Vanessa is perfect. She didn’t have any issues. I was all me, my insecurities. It’s my fault, my stupidity, I’ve thrown away my life. I hit the self-destruct button."
Admitting to a certain infidelity in 2015, nine years after he and Vanessa got engaged in 2006, Ben said he cheated because he was "insecure."
The woman in question revealed all to Vanessa, who kicked Ben out of their home, before the pair decided to work on their relationship, which then carried on for several years.
Speaking to The Mirror, Ben said the three weeks following his split with Vanessa emerging publicly had been "incredibly painful," as he said he had "never had anything like it".
He also reflected on the "abuse" he had received after the news of the split became public, which he described as "unbelievable".
Ben said that "forgetting all of that, the family that have been hurt is my main concern".
On his hopes of a reconciliation, Ben said: “I just want it out there, me apologising to her for the pain I’ve caused. Of course I want to be with her, if she wants me back."
OK! contacted representatives for Vanessa and Ben for comment.
On 5 February, Vanessa took to Instagram after a three-week hiatus from the social media app, to post a video in which she confirmed her split from Ben, as she admitted she is "extremely sad" and "disappointed" that the relationship is over.
