Vanessa Feltz opens up about her former boss' disturbing behaviour (2024)

Vanessa Feltz left Cat Deeley completely stunned as she made a shocking confession about her former boss' 'disturbing' behaviour on Wednesday.

The broadcaster, 62, was discussing inappropriate behaviours in the workplace with Cat and Ben Shephard on This Morning when she unexpectedly discussed her previous encounter.

She revealed that her boss used to twirl her hair when he would come over for a chat.

Vanessa said: 'I once had a boss who wound my hair around his arm while talking. He come over asked how I was doing and then wound my hair.

'And then you think well "Do I complain? Do I say anything? Will they think I'm a spoilsport? Will they think that I'm not a team player? Will they think I'm humorless? It's difficult".'

A stunned Ben said: 'Gosh'

'That's a bit strange', Cat replied.

It comes after it was revealed Vanessa has only spent one night at home alone since her split from her cheating ex- fiancé Ben Ofoedu

However, Celebs Go Dating star Vanessa has said her quest for love has been without success and said her last date went 'horrendously.'

Vanessa - who split from singer Ben, 51, in February last year after 16 years together - admitted that she didn't enjoy the date and decided 'couldn't stand him' before the soup had even been served.

She confessed to Heat: 'I had one dinner with some fellow last night, and I absolutely couldn't stand him before the soup, I didn't like him.'

However, despite the bad date, the star still refuses to spend a night at home as she admitted that she has been 'out every night for a year'.

The TV personality - who previously joked that she went on 'thousands of dates' while on Celebs Go Dating - revealed she doesn't enjoy staying at home.

She confessed: 'I've been out every night for more than a year. I stayed home one night a few months ago and I still didn't really like it.'

Vanessa went through a highly publicised split last year after discovering Ben, 51, was cheating on her (both pictured in 2021)

The couple had been together for 16 years and were often seen looking cosy on the red carpet at several glitzy events (pictured in 2021)

Vanessa also revealed to the publication that she tends to 'settle down incredibly quickly' however, has now realised that's not the best option for her.

She admitted: 'I've always settled down incredibly quickly, and I'm not sure that's always been the best thing, really.'

It comes after Vanessa joinedE4's Celebs Go Dating last year in a bid to find the right man for her and appeared on This Morning to honestly discuss her experience.

Speaking toJosie Gibson, 39, and Andi Peters, 53, in August last year, the former Radio2 DJ said that 'dating was damn difficult' and had the pair in hysterics over her accounts of her dates on the show, including turning her nose up at the 'hot' singles Josie pointed out in the clip of the show.

Vanessa joked that she went on 'thousands of dates' on the show which matches singles with other singles and confessed what it was like having the dates filmed.

She told the presenters: 'I think if you like someone and fancy them and find them attractive and find them funny and like the way they smell and like the way they look and whatever else, you completely forget there are any cameras. You really do.

'If you don't really like them and it's not really going well, you're glad there are TV cameras.'

'There was one memorable moment where I just yelled at the top of my voice, "Producer, have we got enough in the can yet or what?" And the poor old date looked a bit horrified and I said, "Well, it's going to be on television, isn't it? Have we got enough or haven't we got enough? I'm going to go home. So how long do I have to stay?"'

'I thought I was very polite throughout, but various rumblings on the production team told me maybe I was a little tough in parts.'
