A woman who claims to have had an affair with Ben Ofoedu – Vanessa Feltz's ex-fiancé – has spoken out on their time together and the "awkward" phone call she had with Vanessa.
The businesswoman, who has chosen not to reveal her real name and has instead asked to be known as 'Ella', has revealed how she met Ben, 50, in Ibiza and ended up falling "hopelessly in love" with him.
Ella, 59, had remained silent for six years but decided to tell her story after Ben described their relationship as "purely sexual with no feelings involved" in a recent interview.
Speaking to MailOnline, she revealed: "I fell in love with Ben, and he went all out to seduce me, but once I became aware that he was in another relationship, I broke it off. I put myself in Vanessa's position and asked myself if I would want to know, and I decided it was the right thing to do."
Ella explained how she initially sent Vanessa an email and the pair then went on to share an "awkward" phone call.
"I had no agenda, I just wanted to tell her, woman to woman, and then it was up to her," the businesswoman told the publication.
Despite the revelations about Ben's behaviour, Vanessa reportedly decided to forgive him with the pair attempting to salvage their relationship.

However, earlier this month Vanessa announced she had called time on her romance with the Phats & Small singer for good in an emotional Instagram video.
The woman's explosive revelations about Ben come after he spoke out for the first time about his and Vanessa's split, revealing he'd "betrayed" her.
Speaking to The Mirror, the 50 year old shared: "I was wrong… I betrayed the love of my life."
Ben went on to speak about cheating with an older woman in Ibiza while touring with band Phats and Small in 2015, and admitted to having sex with her three times.
Ben also claimed Vanessa forgave him after he briefly moved out, but ended things for good when she discovered he'd also been sexting one woman and flirting with another – both in 2022.
Ben described it as a tough year after coping with his brother Roy's ill heath, which led to his death. Ben turned to alcohol.
He also said: “I’ve broken her trust. She gave me another chance. I’ve gone and destroyed that.”
