Vanessa Feltz's ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu has been cast in a new London show as he begins to move on with his life after their unexpected split.
The former couple, who were together for nearly 17 years, announced their split earlier this month.
This Morning star Vanessa, 61, revealed she and Ben, 50, had called it quits after she allegedly discovered he'd been unfaithful during a tour of UK holiday parks with his music act Phats & Small.
Now the dance music DJ is set to be putting the drama behind him as he's been cast in a brand new theatre production of Tony n' Tina's Wedding, which is based on the hit Broadway show.
The opening night will take place on March 30, and Ben is said to be gearing up for rehearsals starting from next week.
The show focuses around the concept of an Italian American wedding, and will be a fantastic comedy hit likely to take the UK by storm.
The show's opening night will take place on March 30.
A source told MailOnline: "There has not yet been an announcement on this, but Ben has just been cast in a leading role in impresario Paul Gregg's new play Tony n' Tina's Wedding.
"He will play the part of the event host Vinnie Black.
"He goes into rehearsals next week and will appear on Steph's Packed Lunch next Wednesday. It represents a new beginning for Ben," the insider continued.
OK! has contacted a representative for Ben for further comment.
Tony n' Tina's Wedding has been a hit on Broadway for years, and instantly became a hit through its immersive audience interaction.
Theatre-goers become the guests at the wedding of two Italian American families who are at war.
The show's cast even mingle with the audience directly.
The new theatre production, which has been adapted for UK audiences by The Lion King alum Paul Gregg, will open at the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on March 3.
"We're delighted to be hosting the truly fantastic Tony n' Tina's Wedding at the ArcelorMittal Orbit from Spring 2023," Paul said about the venture.
"Join us for a celebration night out that includes a three course Italian wedding dinner, which is enjoyed whilst the show unfolds all around you!"
