Vanessa Feltz has opened up about her experience dating, following her split from ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu just over a year ago.
The 62-year-old TV star was recently seen out with male model Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, better known as the most "swiped man on Tinder", but she admits they didn’t have much in common.
Despite enjoying "four or five dinners" together, Feltz revealed to The Times that what she really wants is "someone I could hand bits of The Sunday Times to and say, 'Look, shall we go to this?' I believe in love. I do. I really hope to find it with someone. I don’t like being on my own."
Vanessa, who currently hosts a show on LBC, confirmed back in March 2023 that her relationship with Ben had ended after 16 years together.

In a devastating post, the former This Morning star said “once the trust in a relationship is gone you can’t really get it back” amid claims he had an affair.
On Instagram, she admitted: “I haven’t been on Instagram for three weeks and that’s because my relationship with Ben is over after 16 years and I honestly didn’t know what to say to you on Instagram.
“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 am not going to let this defeat me.”
Feltz also added that she was glad “to be living longer” than her mother who died aged 57.

She continued: “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.”
In July, Vanessa candidly opened up about her heartbreak as she reflected on her past relationship, admitting she is doing her “best to stay happy.”
“I’ve had a broken relationship, and it was only in the middle of January,” she says. “So it’s been a bit of a leap, really, but I’m doing my best – I’m trying to be happy. Every month that goes by I feel a bit more used to it and a bit less shocked and a bit better.”
