VANESSA Feltz’s ex Ben Ofoedu admitted the pair’s busy schedules led them to rarely see each other, months before their shock split.
TalkTV favourite and agony aunt Vanessa, 60, ended the 16-year relationship recently after allegedly discovering evidence Ben had cheated on her.
Last year at the British Lifestyle Awards, Ben spoke to The Sun about their romance, saying they were “polar opposites.”
He explained he was busy trying to become an Agony Uncle, and that their conflicting work schedules meant they didn’t see much of each other.
As a result he said: “We’re not as together as much as people think we are.

But speaking about how they kept their spark, he said: “I think it’s difference.
“The fact we’re very different keeps it interesting.
“She’s in Ireland at the moment and I’m here, and then when she gets back on Sunday we’ll have so much to discuss. She’ll tell me what she got up to and I’ll tell her what I got up to.”
Ben said he thought “distance makes the heart grow fonder” in their relationship.
Since the split, Vanessa has since been supported by a string of famous pals and now Kerry Katona, 42, has made it clear who she's siding with.
Sharing a snap of Vanessa on Instagram, she wrote: "A super strong legend. You've got this darling, we're all behind you."
Vanessa opened up about the situation during her usual slot on This Morning, with hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby revealing they've been supporting her behind the scenes.
The agony aunt told her ITV colleagues that she felt "sad, hurt and terribly humiliated".
