Ben: 'I WASTED 17 YEARS WITH VANESSA'

Ben Ofoedu, 53, has let rip at his ex, Vanessa Feltz, after tying the knot in a star-studded wedding with new partner Vanessa Brown – who he calls ‘Vanessa 2.0’ – just two years after calling it quits with the daytime TV star, 63.

The Phats & Small singer – who was said to have been unfaithful to Vanessa Feltz – said, ‘I wasted 17 years of my life. I don’t believe in long engagements any more. You don’t want to get married if there’s a question mark over your engagement. If you don’t want to commit to someone, that’s fine. But don’t pretend you do and hold on to someone for a long period of time. Let them free, let them fly.’
