Life has been a bit of a roller coaster for Vanessa Feltz lately - not only did she split from her partner of 16 years, Ben Ofoedu, after her daughters received a tip-off that he was cheating, she even admitted to throwing herself out of a moving car when she confronted him. Now, almost two years later, it looks like the TV presenter is finally ready to open her heart again - and with a much younger man.

A source exclusively tells new that, when it comes to relationships, it's important the broadcaster is able to "have fun", adding, "Vanessa is ideally looking for a younger man, she's young at heart and loves to joke around and be playful so she finds more of that with younger guys.

"She knows she's getting older but still wants a fun relationship and to feel desired rather than just settling down, so she'd love to find the perfect man who is a bit younger."

Vanessa is no stranger to an age-gap relationship. Having apparently dated 33-year-old male model Stefan-Pierre Tomlin earlier this year, and being previously engaged to Phats And Small singer Ben, 52, she even admitted herself that "older men are no longer intriguing".
