Vanessa Feltz's ex Ben Ofoedu makes unprovked dig at star while on honeymoon

Vanessa Feltz's ex Ben Ofoedu shares cryptic message with his fans, which appears to be yet another dig at the This Morning star while on honeymoon with new wife

Following their split two years ago, things between Vanessa Feltz and her ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu appeared to simmer as neither spoke of one another. But since the Phats & Small singer tied the knot with his new wife in July, who ironically has the same name as his ex, it seems as though Ben has felt compelled to fire digs at the This Morning presenter.


The former talk show host split with Ben after 16 years together amid suspicion of alleged infidelity. She even appeared on Celebs Go Dating in order to find love again.


Meanwhile, Ben married his wife Vanessa just five months after he popped the question. While on honeymoon, Ben is seen wearing a black baseball cap with "2.0". And thios could be a dig at his ex by referencing his new wife. It comes after reports of Victoria Beckham's four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls 'feud'.

The singer and Vanessa were also celebrating her 30th birthday and appeared in good spirits as they soaked up the sunshine while enjoying a drink on their terrace. Leaving little to the imagination, Ben captioned the post saying: "Jay-Z’s quote is, 'Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t'."

But this is certainly not the first time that Ben has prodded at his ex. In a post about his wedding, he told his followers on Instagram that his marriage was his "new beginning" and went on to say that he "wasted 17 years of my life."


In an interview with MailOnline, he explained: "I have always wanted to be married since I was seven years old. I always wanted to be with someone who would take my surname. I almost gave up on marriage, thinking there wasn’t a lady that would walk down the aisle for me."

He added: "I can’t believe the day has come, it is a dream come true. It feels like I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life. This is the finale of the chapter that was 17 years of my life."


Just before Vanessa made the decision to end her long-term relationship, it is believed, although unsubstantiated, that there was a hoard of emails and social media messages that led to her believing that he had cheated on her.

At the time, the presenter told fans: "People who have been reading about my private life over the weekend will know that my 16-year relationship has come to an end."

She added: "I have said, I'm very sad. I'm very shocked, but I am going to soldier forth. I hope to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and all of that."
