Vanessa Feltz shares happy 'new mood' selfie as cheating ex fiancé quits social media

Vanessa Feltz isn’t letting her recent break-up get her down as she posted upbeat photos of herself on Instagram.

The 60-year-old took to her stories to pose in a glam red jumper which she teamed with a leopard print skirt.

“Dress for the mood you hope for,” she told her almost 300,000 Instagram followers.

Another smiling shot showed her holding a huge bouquet of flowers with the Frank Sinatra track ‘On The Sunny Side Of The Street’ playing in the background.

It comes just days after she confirmed her split from Phats & Small singer Ben Ofoedu following claims he was cheating on her.

Her daughter Allegra revealed the family discovered Ben’s betrayal when someone sent her a DM on Christmas Day.

Ben has since moved out of the home he shared with Vanessa and appeared to have quit social media after being targeted by trolls after news of their split emerged.

The 50-year-old, who was engaged to Vanessa for 16 years, hasn’t posted anything online for a week now and has turned the comments off under his Instagram posts.

His only post since their split was announced was a video of him on a train which was slammed by fans - as he appeared to be smirking.

The Mirror has contacted reps for Ben for comment.

In an honest video posted to Instagram last night, newly single Vanessa told fans she was about to be miserable, but a surprise cheered her up.

Vanessa said: “So, a bit like Macaulay Culkin, this home alone thing, I’m not really very good at it.

“But I just got in this evening and I was just about to get miserable. I was thinking right, I’ve been really brave all week, I’ve been putting my best foot forward and now I’m really, really miserable and unhappy.

“Then I got these two beautiful bouquets of flowers and they’ve cheered me up no end. I’ve really chirped up. Going to watch some telly. I might have a lovely warm bubble bath.

“I’ve managed to overt the miserable bit, so a very good night to everybody. I must admit, I’m not that sad to put this particular week behind me, but it’s another week starting.

“Lots of love to everybody, especially if you’re newly on your own. Big kiss.”
