Vanessa Feltz's ex slammed by fans for smirking video after her teary split announcement

Vanessa Feltz's ex Ben Ofoedu has been slammed by fans after posting a video of himself singing and smiling on Instagram after news of their break-up was revealed at the weekend.

In the clip, the Phats & Small vocalist can be seen sitting on a train in a blue cap, neutral hooded jacket and black t-shirt.

Ben, 50, sings along to Fleetwood Mac's hit Dreams while smiling and nodding to the beat of the music.

The singer captioned the video: "On the train vibez again. God bless if you're reading this."

The lighthearted posted came as This Morning favourite Vanessa, 60, tearfully confirmed her split from her partner of 16 years with a devastating update on Sunday.

Ben's followers expressed their anger at the singer's cheery video, with many vowing to unfollow him on the site, following allegations about his sad split with Vanessa.

"Now deleting you as Vanessa is such a lady and deserves so much more," a fourth angrily wrote.

Another said: "Very sad [crying emoji] heartbroken lady and you put this on."

Ben is in the middle of a brutal break-up after he allegedly cheated on Vanessa several times.

In a heartfelt video, Vanessa struggled to hold back tears as she confirmed her 16-year-relationship is over.

She told her followers: "Well I haven't been on Instagram for three weeks and that's because my relationship with Ben is over after sixteen years and I honestly didn't know what to say to you 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 then you can't really get it back and that's what I would tell anyone else to do."

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

"I am so glad to be living longer than my mum did, she died at 57 and for the Lord's prayers, I am going to be 61 next month.

"I am very very grateful to be alive and I want to carry on feeling that way and I want to celebrate and find fun and laughter anywhere I can.

"I know it is not going to be easy but I am absolutely determined to do it."
