Lizzie Cundy says she's 'got a few toy boys lined up' for Vanessa Feltz after heartbreak

Lizzie Cundy has said that she's "got a few toy boys lined up" for her pal Vanessa Feltz after the presenter's recent heartbreak.

Vanessa, 61, split up with her fiancé Ben Ofoedu, 50, this month after he admitted cheating on her with an older woman in Ibiza and sexting fans.

The TalkTV presenter was in tears when she broke the news on Instagram, but her pal Lizzie, 54, says she's not going to let her wallow.

Speaking about their friendship, she said: "Vanessa will find love again with someone who adores her.

"She deserves the best and I've got a few toy boys lined up for her!"

Lizzie was married to footballer Jason Cundy while Vanessa was hitched to surgeon Michael Kurer.

Both women got divorced and Lizzie says their heartache brought them closer.

"I remember it felt like someone had died when my relationship ended," she said.

"But Vanessa needs to remember life can begin again, at any age," reports Closer magazine.

Vanessa's former fiancé claims he cheated on the TV star because she wouldn't marry him.

Ben says he had sex with an older woman in Ibiza while Vanessa was at home because he felt so insecure about the Big Brother star's reluctance to walk down the aisle.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, the Phats and Small star said: "Over a short period of time we had sex three times. It was purely sexual, there were no feelings involved. It felt like a chore. I just fell back into it with her to keep her sweet and everything under wraps."

Reflecting on his infidelity, Ben explained: "I should have got some help after the first dalliance. I knew there was an insecurity. But I papered over the cracks and if you don’t tackle something it reared its head.

"I cheated because I was insecure. The girl in Ibiza said things like ‘You’re such a great guy. I don’t know why you’re not married. Who wouldn’t want to marry you?’ That coupled with alcohol was a recipe for disaster. It was a volatile situation. That’s why that happened."

However, Vanessa believes ‘the best is yet to come’ after seeing a 'sign' when she was with her grandson.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the This Morning presenter shared a clip of herself at the beach in Ireland with a stone which was engraved with the word ‘change’, which her grandson found for her.

“You wouldn’t believe this,” she began. “I’m on the stoniest of stoney beaches, and look what my grandson just found,” she said, holding up the impressive rock with a large spade.

“It’s a stone saying, ‘change’, on it. I feel as if it’s a sign!"
