Vanessa Feltz wrote in The Mail on Sunday’s YOU magazine this week that ‘it’s a big fat bore being “mummy” to a hulking great adult’.
Apparently referring to her ex-fiance Ben Ofoedu, she claimed that the former pop star ten years her junior ‘cheated so ferociously I had to throw him out’.
Now, Ben has hit back, claiming that the distinguished broadcaster, 64, ‘abused’ him during their long relationship.
‘For 17 years she emasculated me, verbally abused me, and made me feel small,’ he tells me. ‘When you’re in an abusive relationship, you don’t even know you’re being abused.’
