Vanessa Feltz has peeled back the covers of her bed to share the saucy secrets of her very active sex life with long-term fiancé Ben Ofoedu.
The 59-year-old broadcasting icon has been in a relationship with 49-year-old Ben for over 16 years and while many others may have seen their sex life dry up over such time, this is not the case for these two besotted lovers.
Vanessa says that, although she is nearing the landmark age of 60, she feels like a teen “bristling with hormones” at heart.
And she says she and Ben love nothing more than stripping off at the end of a long, hard, work day to get down to business together in the bedroom, kitchen, living room or anywhere else at home where they find themselves getting naked.
She told Closer magazine: “My sex life with Ben is the same as when we first got together. It hasn’t reddened in frequency, intensity or excitement.
“I’m incredibly luck that I’ve got a handsome partner who is 10 years younger than me, is hot as hell and desires me. He has great big shoulders, powerful arms and smells fabulous. I just really fancy him.”
Vanessa – who has two daughters from a previous relationship – says she and Ben enjoy spontaneous, vigorous sex all over their house now that the star’s children have moved out and says keeping things unscheduled is the secret to maintaining an exciting sex life.
Indeed, Vanessa found herself getting inspired to tempt her husband to join her in the bedroom while chopping vegetables.
She recalls: “I was peeling the vegetables for dinner one day – and ended up leaving a trail of celery and leeks for him, leading to me, spreadeagled on the bed in what I hoped was an alluring position!”
Revealing even more about her adventurous sex life, she added: “You don’t always have to be sensible with sex – sometimes we indulge in the living room in front of the fire. It’s not always the most comfortable, but somehow it feels sexier. The firelight flickering on the buttocks is a bit more flattering as well!”
She also said that Ben will look at her like she is "an object of desire" when she gets home from a long day of work feeling exhausted but they will disrobe and make love regardless.
Vanessa recently explained why she has never walked down the aisle with Ben despite being engaged to him since 2006.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the star confessed that the collapse of her first marriage – to businessman Michael Kurer which lasted from 1985 until 2000 – has left her scarred.
She said: “I was so shocked and broken-hearted and rocked to my absolute core.
“It makes you wary of getting married again. The marriage seemed to be so disposable - it could just be chucked down the toilet in 10 seconds flat, even though I didn’t want it to be and I didn’t realise there was any trouble with it or problems."
She added: "So it made me feel a bit damaged and reluctant to ever do it again."
