Ben Ofoedu admits he was unfaithful to Vanessa Feltz
The 50-year-old pop star had been in a relationship with broadcasting legend Vanessa, 60, for 16 years when the pair called it quits last week after she alleged he had been unfaithful with several different women and now admits he had "betrayed the love of his life."
He said: "I was wrong ...I betrayed the love of my life! I’ve broken her trust. She gave me another chance. I’ve gone and destroyed that. So many people have been hurt, not just Vanessa. I was so close to her grandchildren, her daughters, their husbands. We’re a close knit family. My family have been appalled by it as well. There’s been a lot of pain!"
The Phats and Small star is said to have slept with at least two women last year and was also unfaithful in 2015 and added that the last time he spoke to Vanessa - who also Allegra, 37, and Saskia, 34, with ex Michael Kurer - he insisted that he loved her but she immediately blocked him on all of her social media and he has not heard from her since.
He told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "My last conversation with Vanessa was me saying how wonderful she was, how she was the love of my life and saying how much I loved her and that I’m so, so sorry it’s happened. ‘Please find it in your heart to forgive me’. Those were the last words I said. Then she blocked me on her phone, on social media and never answered my emails.
I started off by sending her an email every day saying how sorry I was. She hasn’t responded. It’s been a bit scorched earth really."
