Vanessa Feltz boasts of 'spectacular athletic sex' as shows off four stone weight loss

Vanessa Feltz is anything but shy when it comes to sex.

The broadcaster, 57, dished that "as long as I've got a spring in my step and a bit of 'oomph' I'm still in the market for a bit of spectacular athletic sex."

This follows a recent four stone weight loss - Vanessa underwent an operation to save her life by having her stomach removed, meaning she can't eat all that much.

She's not letting the surgery slow her down in the bedroom though, as she opened up about her sex life with fiance Ben Ofoedu, ten years her junior.

"This idea that at some point you totally go off the sexual boil," she told The Sun , "Well it certainly hasn't happened to me yet.

"If anything my libido has gone up rather than down. I can't get pregnant anymore and with empty nest syndrome the great up shot of that is you can have sex in any position, at any time, over the kitchen counter, in the garage, over the dishwasher, wherever.

"And who's to say you shouldn't. While you still want to."

Rocking some raunchy lingerie and showing off her weight loss, Vanessa added that she doesn't want to be told how to behave.

"I don't feel ready to hang up my stirrups yet," she said, "Subside into huge night dress and sensible cotton pants - and I don't want someone to tell me I have to."

She was inspired to strip down to her lingerie by pal Ulrika Jonsson, who drew criticism for her own sexy snaps, used for an over-50s dating site.

Vanessa's having none of it, insisting that Ulrika looked fantastic and there was nothing controversial about the shoot.

She scolded: "I thought she looked sexy, alluring, incredibly glamorous and really aspirational - like a Christmas cracker - just gorgeous.

"The idea that there was somehow something denigrating to women, or inappropriate, or something was objectifying her, when she was the person who chose to do it.

"Are they saying that women of a certain age have a kind of duty to cover up and it must be against the law if they're over a certain age? How f*****g sexist is that?

"I think it's absolutely disgraceful."

Vanessa added that her choice to dress sexily is part of her wanting to live each day to the full - especially as her mother died early.

"My mother died at 57 on August 3rd so every day past that I'm older than my mum ever got to be," she told, "So how am I going to celebrate that?

"Am I going to celebrate that by dressing in a smock and keeping quiet, not offending anybody and trying not to draw attention to myself while staggering on quietly until my grave? I don't think so."
