She said sun on sunday: ‘I thought it might take a little longer before this came out, because it’s a lot to deal with, a shock like this requires a bit of adjusting, but I’m extremely saddened and disappointed that my 16 year relationship with Ben has finished. .
“As a dying aunt, I have said many times that once trust is lost in a relationship, it can never be repaired or recovered.
So I have to take my own advice this time.
‘Who knew I’d be single at 60? However, ladies, she is forward and upward and I am a firm believer that the best is yet to come”.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Ben for comment.
Vanessa and Ben first met in 2005 after she divorced surgeon Michael Kurer in 2000.
Sources told The Sun on Sunday that Ben’s return to touring with Phats & Small in holiday parks across the UK led to his alleged roving eye.
A friend of the couple told the publication that Vanessa is “heartbroken, ashamed, devastated” but they insist that she is determined to regain control of her life and focus on her new TalkTV show.
