Vanessa Feltz makes sly dig at ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu while petting snakes

Vanessa Feltz made a sly dig at her ex-fiancé Ben Ofeodu during a day out petting animals.

TV star Vanessa, 60, confirmed her split from singer Ben, 50, in a heartbreaking video last week.

Since the announcement, she has been honest about her devastation but kept a brave face during her TV appearances.

Vanessa, who reportedly discovered Ben was cheating on Christmas Day, has been keeping busy with endless activities with her friends.

She took to her Instagram Stories to share snaps of her day out at Leahys Open Farm with her friends.

In one picture, Vanessa smiled for the camera as she posed with a snake and a member of staff.

"The only snake I want to deal with!!!" she cryptically captioned the photo.

It was recently reported that Vanessa has been 'in bits' over the breakup.

A source told OK! magazine: "Vanessa has been stepping out with a smile on her face and getting on with things but she is understandably in bits about the whole thing.

"She is beyond devastated. She’s distracting herself with her work, which is like her therapy.

"She is finding it extremely difficult, but she’s attempting to walk away from this with her head held high."

After a short break from social media, she took to her Instagram to confirm she parted ways with the Phats & Small singer.

Speaking in the clip, the TV star explained: "I honestly didn’t know what to say on Instagram, but now it’s clear that it’s over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone, you can’t really get it back.

"And so I just wanted to say obviously I feel incredibly sad and I’m pretty disappointed and shocked and all those horrible things but also full of resolve. I’m not going to let this defeat me."

Ben gave an exclusive interview to the Mirror recently and confessed to cheating on Vanessa.

The singer was sexting younger fans and even had a three-time romp with an older woman.

Admitting his shame, Ben said: "So many people have been hurt, not just Vanessa. I was so close to her grandchildren, her daughters, and their husbands. We’re a close-knit family.

“My family have been appalled by it as well. There’s been a lot of pain."
