Vanessa Feltz is feeling the love on her 61st birthday.
Amidst the devastation of her split from fiancé Ben Ofoedu, who is now allegedly homeless, the daytime TV regular posted a video onto Instagram today which sees her joyfully receiving a handful of balloons from her family.
"I am the birthday girl! #grateful #family #healing #birthday," she wrote, alluding to her mental recovery following her ex's infidelity.
It didn't take long for the star's nearest and dearest to shower Vanessa in birthday well-wishes, either, as Denise Van Outen commented: "Happy birthday beautiful Vanessa [heart and star emoji]. We all love you xxx."
BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show's Zoe Ball echoed those words by sharing: "happy birthday to you gorgeous wonder woman. love you to bits. zo," while her This Morning colleague Phillip Schofield added: "Happy birthday gorgeous".
Novelist Elizabeth Day declared: "Happy Birthday you wonderful woman. I feel so HASHTAG BLESSED our paths crossed xxxx," before two fans warmly reached out with: "Happy Birthday to the beautiful Vanessa! May your day be as special as you xx" and "Happy birthday beautiful darling V, have the best day, tons of happiness and good health always, much love from us all xxxxx".
Just last week, it was suggested by break-up expert Rosie Wilby that Vanessa's newfound singleness could pave the way for her "sexual reawakening".
"When we’re older, we’ve probably become more secure in who we are and therefore should take less time to heal," she told OK! in an exclusive chat. "We become more aware of our boundaries and what isn’t healthy."
"It's a huge shock at any time," Rosie said of the split. "We are socially conditioned to expect relationships to last forever.
"However, many studies show that long-term monogamy doesn't really suit either men or women. Some women have even found being cheated on becomes a catalyst for their own sexual reawakening. So there’s plenty of hope, even though it's hard."
Meanwhile, Kerry Katona also chipped in with a few choice words for cheat Ben.
"I've known Ben for 26 years and I actually know him better than I know Vanessa. He was at my wedding to Brian McFadden and we also did Celebrity Coach Trip together," the 42 year old wrote for OK!
"I always thought he was one of the good guys. I'm devastated for Vanessa. I’m really shocked and disappointed over his alleged behaviour. I’m sure Vanessa is going through all kinds of emotions and feelings, but she’s a warrior and the nation is rooting for her.
"He’s messed up and lost the best thing that has ever happened to him in my opinion."
