Vanessa Feltz would try online dating if she wasn't famous.
Vanessa Feltz would like to try online dating but cannot do so because of her fame
The 61-year-old TV star endured a public breakup earlier this year when she discovered that her fiancé Ben Ofoedu had been unfaithful several times throughout their 16-year relationship and explained that she would like to try meeting someone online but is unable to do so because of her fame as she jokingly revealed her plans to wait outside a prison for a potential suitor.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she said: "It's not that I don't like online dating, I just don't really think I can do it. Imagine if I suddenly showed up, people would get the shock of their lives and then it would end up in the papers. If I could, I probably would because I just think it's the best way to meet the most people.
"Somebody said I just had to hang round the cheese counter in Waitrose. How much cheese can I possibly buy? I was thinking maybe I'd wait outside a prison with a cake and hope someone would come out and marry me. I don't quite know what to do, quite frankly, I'm quite desperate!"
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestant recently revealed that despite her messy public split, 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."
