Vanessa Feltz is 'not giving up' on her search for love
The 61-year-old TV star endured a public breakup earlier this year when she discovered that her fiance Ben Ofoedu had been unfaithful several times throughout their 16-year relationship, but she is determined to keep going in all aspects of her life.
Asked if she ever felt tempted to give up on love, she told Metro newspaper's Sixty Seconds column: "Oh my God, no. I wish to move on. I'm not saying whether I have or haven't, but I definitely want to. I'm not tempted to give up anything while I'm alive - not work, love, fun, excitement, adventure or affection."
The broadcast legend - who appeared on 'Celebs Go Dating' in June - was then asked to describe her "ideal man" and explained that she would have to find him physically attractive, but would love him to be "dynamic".
She said: "Obviously [I want] someone honest and trustworthy! I'd have to find him attractive, so there'd have to be something to him - he'd have to have a bit of swagger and dynamism. I'd like him to be kind and entertaining, interested in things, and full. Whether I'm going to meet someone like that, God only knows, but that's what I want."
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestant also admitted she was left "astounded" by the masses of public support that came her way following her split, and spent "hours" reading every message she received on social media.
She said: "I was unbelievably moved and astounded by [the support], and still am. People have been incredibly kind and I've read every message. I had months of sleepless nights - I felt terrible so I read message after message after message for hours on end. It meant the world to me."
