Has Vanessa Feltz quietly found love?
Murmurs from north London suggest the TV presenter, who filmed Celebs Go Dating for E4 this summer, is in a romance with an eligible divorced millionaire who lives just around the corner from her in St John’s Wood.
It’s not clear if she met him on the show; and her agent says he has “no idea” about the rumored connection.
Spokesmen for Lime Productions, makers of the program, did not return a request for comment.
It comes after her split from her cheating ex Ben Ofoedu, 51, in January this year.

The pair called it quits after he claimed he had been unfaithful and exchanged “sex texts” with another woman, which he later confirmed.
Earlier this week, Vanessa admitted she “hasn’t eaten in months” after her cheating ex-fiance Ben “broke her heart” in a new interview.
Looking back on the split when she appeared on Celebs Go Dating, the star claimed her weight loss was a “sliver” of upset.
Speaking to Woman magazine, she reflected on her heartbreak and explained how she hopes the show will restore her confidence.
She said, “I haven’t eaten in months because my heart was so broken. That’s the silver lining of a broken heart.”
Vanessa continued, “I don’t know if I’m on my A game. I think I look good. I hope other people might feel that way. I’ve had a turbulent career in terms of my weight, but it’s under control.
“Instead of being thankful that a man is waving his eyes in my direction. I would like to reach a level of self-confidence where I think, “I’m glad you chose me, but you’re wrong.”
Also this week, Vanessa took a swipe at her cheating ex Ben, appearing in the first episode of the new Celebs Go Dating series on Sunday.

The broadcaster had joined the line-up in an effort to find love again after her breakup.
When introduced to the dating show, Vanessa briefly talked about her relationship history after being with Ben for 16 years while criticizing his infidelity.
She said in her pre-mixer intro, “Once trust in a relationship is thoroughly destroyed, you really can’t get it back, even if you try, and I tried.”
Vanessa added about her relationship status, “I’ve never wanted a single life and I don’t like being single, I’m afraid of being single.
‘I want to invest in someone. I want to invest my completely broken heart in someone.”
During the first episode, Vanessa attended a mixer with the other celebrities and was seen talking and flirting with a large number of men.
It came after Vanessa admitted last week that she’s a “rotten picker” of men when she revealed she’d been on 13 dates following her split from Ben on the show.
The star confessed that the process was “damn hard.”

Speaking to Josie Gibson and Andi Peters on This Morning, Vanessa said that when a date doesn’t go well, it’s akin to “wading through treacle,” and she kept tight-lipped about whether she’s kept in touch with one of her male suitors.
Of her time on the show, Vanessa said, “I think dating is hard as hell. I haven’t done it in seventeen years. I wouldn’t sit here and pretend it’s a breeze and a blast.
“When things don’t go right, it’s like wading through treacle. But when you meet someone it can be easy, it can be bliss.
‘It can be great. It’s just a numbers game, isn’t it… I’ve been a rotton picker, I haven’t been good at picking. I thought the cops should be able to do better than me, they can’t do worse.’
Grilled about whether she’s tested dating snaps, she added, “I’ve never done it. I’ve never swiped left and right before. I don’t have the apps. I hope someone introduces me to someone nice someday.’
Vanessa admitted she had only watched one episode of the show before signing on and laughed off the prospect of romance with one of her Celebs Go Dating co-stars.
She added: ‘Am I not old enough to be their mother or grandmother – I was doing math. I really thought I was a bit more vintage and antique than she was.’
Vanessa revealed she went on thirteen dates while appearing on the show, saying, “I think when you like someone you completely forget there are cameras.
“There was a moment when I yelled, ‘Have we got enough in the can yet? My date looked shocked. The producers said I was tough in some areas.’
