Vanessa Feltz has described her “ideal man” ahead of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, revealing that one particular ’90s movie icon has always caught her eye. The presenter appeared on best’s Suddenly Single podcast<\/a> during its first live event.<\/p>\n

There, she was asked who her ideal love would be, responding: “I like Jeff Goldblum\u2026 I interviewed him on The Big Breakfast bed\u2026 You know, [he’s] tall and dark and sexy as hell and clever as anything.”<\/p>\n

“He was on the bed with me on The Big Breakfast, and was just… ravishing,” Vanessa beamed. “And he can paint exquisitely, he plays the piano \u2013 like a dream. He\u2019s clever, he\u2019s funny, he\u2019s well read. He’s just hypnotising.”<\/p>\n

The star, who has also appeared on Celebs Go Dating, was previously with singer Ben Ofoedu. They had been engaged after beginning a relationship in 2006, though the couple split in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since last year, she has hosted her Channel 5 daytime show Vanessa<\/a> \u2013 which she describes as “about YOU \u2013 your stories, your opinions, your emotions, and your triumphs” \u2013 and around the same time exited ITV’s This Morning<\/a> after more than three decades.<\/p>\n

She later admitted that she would have stayed on the latter if she could<\/a>, telling Metro<\/a> in March 2025: “I love This Morning, I would never leave it, I couldn\u2019t love it more.<\/p>\n

“I would happily have stayed and gone on the back of a motorbike from the This Morning studio straight to Channel 5 and done both.<\/p>\n

“I almost believed I\u2019d be able to do that, but I think apparently, it\u2019s not the way it\u2019s done\u2026 but I\u2019d have done it, and I think they would have been happy for me to do it too.”<\/p>\n

Vanessa also revealed there was no drama, sharing: “I love doing it, they like me, we all love each other, and I know that sounds very cosy and all of that, but it gets like that after a while when you\u2019ve been there so long and know everyone, it\u2019s a great pleasure doing it.”<\/p>\n
