Ben Ofoedu has broken his silence on his shocking split from Vanessa Feltz after 16 years together.
The TalkTV host and This Morning agony aunt, 50, announced the news that the pair had broken up at the weekend, saying that she was "extremely sad and disappointed".
And now her ex fiancé Ben appears to have referred to the split for the first time by posting a large heartbroken emoji on his Instagram Stories.
Ben last posted a short clip of himself on the train on his Instagram account two days ago, captioning it: "On the train vibez again God bless if you’re reading this."
As well as adding the new Instagram Stories post, Ben has edited his bio to delete a link to Vanessa's Instagram account @vanessafeltzofficial. Instead, it now just has a link to the Instagram page of Boyz on Block - an English and Irish supergroup consisting of Ben and former boyband members Abz Love, Dane Bowers and Shane Lynch.
Ben and Vanessa have been together since 2005 and make regular appearances together both on-screen and in magazines, but Vanessa revealed that they had broken up on Saturday.
She said: "I had thought it might take a bit longer before this came out, because it’s a lot to deal with — a shock like this takes some adjusting to — but I am extremely sad and disappointed that my 16-year relationship with Ben is over."
