Vanessa Feltz gives huge thumbs up as she's seen for first time since fiancé split

Vanessa Feltz gave a huge thumbs up as she was papped heading out to brunch after revealing her relationship with her fiancé was over.

The TalkTV star, 60, choked back tears on Sunday in a heartbreaking Instagram video as she told fans she was done with Phats & Small star Ben Ofoedu, 50, after 16 years.

However today, the star appeared much brighter as she flashed a smile for the cameras sporting an elegant black and white dress and designer sunglasses.

The mum-of-two was carrying a bright pink bag adorned with pictures of her grandchildren and looked like she was ready to put the past behind her.

The Big Brother star shocked fans when she told them she'd called it a day with Ben after breaking the news on social media.

With her arms wrapped around her, Vanessa's voice broke as she explained she'd been blindsided by the split.

"Well I haven't been on Instagram for three weeks and that's because my relationship with Ben is over after sixteen years and I honestly didn't know what to say to you on Instagram," she told fans in the heartbreaking video.

She continued: "But now it's clear that it's over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone then you can't really get it back and that's what I would tell anyone else to do."

Despite being 'shocked and disappointed' by the break-up, Vanessa said wouldn't let her heartbreak defeat her, conceding it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to 'find joy anywhere she could'.

Her former fiancé Ben broke his silence on the split today.

Taking to Instagram, he simply shared an emoji of a broken heart.

However, fans slammed the singer's social media activity on Sunday when he posted a video of himself singing and smiling on Instagram after news of his break-up with Vanessa was revealed.
