Celebs Go Dating star Vanessa Feltz has been supported by her friend, Myleene Klass, as the singer made a surprise appearance on the programme.
Vanessa signed up for the E4 dating show following her split from her long-term partner, Ben Ofoedu, earlier this year.
She has been on three dates so far, and it is safe to say that the first two did not go well, but the third seemed much more promising.
On Monday, Myleene, 45, popped up on the show to give Vanessa a pep talk, and it is safe to say it gave the This Morning regular a boost.
In the chat, Vanessa told her pal: "Well certainly it has been an education so far.
"Seventeen years, I haven't dated anyone or been anywhere near a date, and suddenly, bang you are in the thick of it."
Vanessa then filled Myleene in on her date with Stacy, telling her that it was "great."
She continued: "Handsome, heavily tattooed biker boy, just a vibe."
Myleene seemed delighted for Vanessa, and she told her: "He sounds fun, he sounds like a breath of fresh air, he sounds like just what you needed."
Vanessa seemed to agree as she added: "I just liked him straight away, he was just nice."
The friends then turned the conversation towards the fact that Vanessa is on the show.
Myleene explained: "Honestly, I'm really proud of you for doing this, because if I had said this to you how many months ago that this is what you would be doing…"
Vanessa quickly interjected to agree, saying that she never
Myleene continued to explain: "We wouldn't even have considered it. I want you to be able to be yourself again."
That admission from Myleene led to Vanessa opening up about her life.
The TV personality said: "Before I got divorced the first time around, so that was 23 years ago, I was a very different person, I was much more jolly.
"I believed that I was living happily ever after. And then the divorce absolutely knocked the wind out of my sails in this massive way.
"And I don't think I have ever really built it back since."
With that in mind, Myleene has said that she can already see a different Vanessa, thanks to the process.
She finished off by saying doing the show is so "bold" and so "Vanessa."
Before the episode aired, a source told the Daily Star just how important the conversation was to Vanessa.
They said: "Going on Celebs Go Dating has been very daunting for Vanessa, so to have support from a good friend was just what she needed.
"They had a really good chat, and it was pretty cathartic for both of them. Myleene has been through heartbreak herself, so she was the perfect person to do this."
