It’s not been the easiest year for Vanessa Feltz after her ex-fiancé of 15 years, Ben Ofeudo, married a woman he calls Vanessa 2.0.Â
But the presenter, 63, is ‘pirouetting’ with happiness after she revealed her Channel 5 chat show, Vanessa, has been recommissioned for another year and is up for a TV Choice Award.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about the extension of her show, Vanessa said: ‘Ecstatic! Euphoric! Pirouetting happily on Cloud 9.’
TV sources say that Vanessa is tipped to take some of the Loose Women audience when it goes down from 52 weeks to 30 next year.
On her TV Choice Award nomination, the broadcaster said she was ‘absolutely thrilled’.Â
It comes after Vanessa snatched the gong for Best Talk Show in July at the National Television Awards, beating The Graham Norton Show.

The TV personality was set to marry singer Ben, 53, until reports of his infidelity were leaked to the press in 2023.
Ben moved on with aesthetics expert, Vanessa Brown – whom he affectionately calls ‘Vanessa 2.0’ and they married in a lavish £100,000 ceremony.
A close friend later told Daily Mail: ‘Vanessa’s been really strong – he [Ben] might be an ex but she still has a heart that got broken – he didn’t hang about!’
They added: ‘Vanessa’s got her girls rallying around her in support.’
