Vanessa Feltz believes she received a ‘sign’ showing ‘the best is yet to come’ after her ex Ben Ofoedu’s ‘other woman’ spoke out about their affair. Posting to Instagram on Saturday, February 18, the This Morning presenter, 60, shared a clip of herself at the beach in Ireland with a stone that had the word ‘change’ on, which her grandson found for her.
“You wouldn’t believe this,” she began, as reported by The Mirror. “I’m on the stoniest of stoney beaches, and look what my grandson just found,” she said holding up the sizable rock with a large spade.
“It’s a stone saying, ‘change’, on it. I feel as if it’s a sign! Do I believe in signs? I don’t know, but surely this is one of them,” the broadcaster said.

“‘Change’ - the best is yet to come. Happy Saturday,” she ended the post. Meanwhile, in the post's caption, Vanessa added: “On a beach full of stones my grandson found one inscribed with the word ‘change’. Must be a sign! #beach #wisdom #outdoors #ireland #sign #thebestisyettocome.”
Her beach 'sign' comes as the woman who had an affair with Vanessa's fiancé Ben Ofoedu broke her silence on their fling, explaining exactly why she decided to reveal all to the heartbroken This Morning star. The woman, who has gone by the name of Ella, claims she fell 'hopelessly in love' with the Phats and Small singer after a series of encounters in Ibiza and Thailand.
The betrayal happened behind the back of Ben's long-term love Vanessa, who was completely unaware her partner of 16 years was cheating on his trips abroad. Ben's sordid behaviour was finally revealed to Vanessa in a bombshell email from his other woman, which Ella says she had no choice but to send.
Ella says she felt Vanessa had a 'right to know' what they'd been up to - and that Ben had also tried to seduce three other younger women. Ella, a 57-year-old beach club owner, who is said to bear a striking resemblance to Vanessa, says at first she didn't know Ben, 50, was in a serious relationship with the TV and radio presenter and broke off their fling as soon as she found out.
However, she claims Ben then upped his pursuit of her and she found it impossible to resist. Eventually the guilt-ridden businesswoman decided to face her fear and contact Vanessa in order to blow the whistle on Ben's cheating and let her know 'woman to woman' what he was really like.
