Vanessa Feltz has revealed that she wouldn’t wish her ‘broken heart diet’ after losing two stone in weight since splitting from her cheating ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday, the TV personality, 61, candidly opened up to presenters Ed Balls and Ranvir Singh about her post-breakup body.
When Ranvir complimented Vanessa that she looked ‘amazing’, Vanessa said: ‘Well this is the broken heart diet, I don’t recommend it, no one should have this.’
It comes after she has been slammed for her ‘delusional superiority’ and ‘rude attitude’ when finding love by Celebs Go Dating viewers.
Vanessa also revealed that she ‘isn’t giving up on love’ despite her failure to find romance on the Channel 4 show.

She said: ‘I haven’t dated anyone for 17 years so I will be the first to admit that my dating technique needed a bit of brushing up.
‘When you meet somebody you know if you have chemistry with them and if your lucky it flows and the conversations are natural.
‘I’m not done with it, I’m looking for true love. I’d like to find somebody lovely and someone that I love and they love. I’m not ready to give up on love, fun or mistakes on tele!
‘I have still got a massive appetite for love, and I’d like to live it with somebody by myside.’
Vanessa also discussed that she thought the show would be purely ‘light-hearted’ and ‘a bit of fun’, not knowing she was going to generate headlines.
She continued: ‘Both my girls are big fans of the show and they said it’s purely light-hearted, it’s a bit of summer fun, you go on these dates and if you like them, you like them and if you don’t you don’t, it’s just a bit of fun.
‘So I thought it [CGD] was going to be a breath of fresh air and I didn’t know it was going to generate all of these headlines, that I was going to be seen to be abrupt but god some of those dates latest hours and then just the bit where I’m like swearing my head of, that’s the bit they show.’
Last week the programme’s panel set Vanessa up with a musician who bore a likeness to her ex-fiancé the musician Ben Ofoedu, 51, from whom she split earlier this year after he publicly admitted to cheating on her while touring.

When Vanessa came standoffish with the man, she was swiftly removed from the date and berated by agents Paul Brunson and Anna Williams for being too ‘closed off.’
Bewildered, the broadcaster said: ‘This is identical to the relationship I have just come out of.
‘So yes, I am absolutely closed off and there is nothing wrong with that. That is how I am. I said it clearly that I don’t wish to go back there and you should understand it the first time I say it.’
Paul Brunson said: ‘I feel like you’re coming for me and I have been nothing but respectful to you.’
One person on the platform said: ‘The agents are gaslighting her for good television, I admire Vanessa for speaking her mind, you go girl.’
Another wrote : ‘Older women know their own mind, they’ve had experience and she’s heartbroken. She specifically told them what type of person she needs right now and they’re definitely not listening to her.’
One more said: ‘Women at her age know what they want and there’s nothing wrong with that’.
Vanessa has also been criticised for her performance on the Channel 4 show – where single celebrities join an exclusive dating agency – for her ‘closed-off’ approach to potential love matches, as well as being ‘sulky.’

And now she has accused the network’s bosses of ‘carving’ her up on the show and portraying her in a bad light.
She told The Mail: ‘I had no idea the editors were going to carve me up like that. I was always on my best behaviour for hours on end and then they always showed the bit where I’m looking so p****d off at the end.
‘If I hadn’t have been so sulky they wouldn’t have shown it. Dating at any hard but dating in front of thousands of people. I’ve learnt not to do anymore reality TV.’
She signed up for Celebs Go Dating just months after splitting from Ben, to whom she was engaged since 2006, for his public infidelities.
She said: ‘There was such a complicated and convoluted tapestry of lies. I have no idea what really happened. I can’t bear to hear you utter his name.’
