Eating out of the dustbinsbehind a dodgy pub. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 |
What are you up to these days? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 |

-A fine lad! His father mustbe very proud. -Indeed, he is! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 |
If only I had such a strapping son. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 |

who stabbed me through the heart witha sharpened towel rail. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 |
No! | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 |
Also, he's your dad. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 |
At last! | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 |
I have found my father! | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 |
On the downside I've also discoveredthat my mother...bit of a slag. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 |
Jesus, Gary, why? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 |
It's like I can feelit looking at me. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 |

Would you like me to dance for ya? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 |
So, is this doing anything for you? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 |
Not sexually, no. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 |
But they tell me shapes andcolours are very good | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 |

THEY GASP | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 |
Hang in there, big man,we're getting you down. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 |
Why suicide, Neil? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 |
You're an eBay PowersellerAND you've got an Amazon Kindle! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 |
You are quite literallyliving la vida. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 |
Oh. It's that girl from the park. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 |
Suddenly it starts to make sense. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 |
Papa? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 |
It is me. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 |

He has a child. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 |
You selfish bastard! | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 |
You're losing your grip now, Feltz. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 |
I can see it. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 |
Let it go. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 |
It's weird. You think I'd feelyounger standing next to you. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 |
But it's like I'm constantlybeing remindedthat every second that goes past | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 |
takes me closer to beinga stinking, sagging, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 |
wheezing sack of death, like you. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 |
You repulsive old bastard. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 |

Ooh, no, you don't. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 |
No-one touches the Oinky Pig but me. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 |
He even came with methat time I appeared in | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 |

Senile? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 |
Let me remind you about the timeI appeared on | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 |
the canine version of Mastermind! | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 |
Expelliamus! | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 |

No, I know, there's stillplenty of time for us but... | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 |
Nelson! Let me stop you there.For some time now I've madeit clear I don't fancy you. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 |
I've expressed this throughverbal abuse, physical violence, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 |
and, in one case, by havingsix tonnes of toxic sludge | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 |
deposited in your den. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 |
That was you? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 |
Gosh, I owe Tesco Direct an apology! | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 |
I tried all of thosethings and they failed. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 |
So, today, I'm going totry something different. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 |
I'm going to talkand I want you to listen. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 |
And this is real. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 |
This is not banter. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 |
I'm not even going to shout at youbecause I know you'll think that, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 |
underneath all that aggression, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 |
there's some kind of sexual tension. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 |
There isn't. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 |
And I don't say this to be cruel. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 |
The cruel thing would be to letyou carry on in the misguided belief | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 |
that there's anything there. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 |
At all. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 |
Because there's nothing. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 |
Nothing. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 |
Literally nothing. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 |
This ends now. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 |
The end of us. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 |
Well, not that there ever was,or ever will be, an 'us'. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 |
Never. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 |
Genuinely never. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 |
Never, never, never. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 |
Now, is there anythingyou want to say? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 |
Erm, just...thank you. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 |
-Thank you for being honest. -That's OK. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 |
You coming back to the bins? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 |
No. No, I just want to...stay here. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 |
Finish my coffee. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 |
Right that's him dealt with! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 |
Just leaves you. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 |
Hold the spray can. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 |
WHISTLES | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 |
-Afternoon, -BLEEP! | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 |

Oh, dear. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:30 |
Oh, dear. Oh, dear. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 |
Those words make me very angry. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 |
-Do you know why? -Hello. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 |
Because...because I neverlearnt how to read. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 |
Oh, for Christ's sake! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 |
I don't want sympathy.It's me own fault. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 |
I dropped out of school earlyfor an apprenticeship. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 |
Mind you, that did end badly. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 |
And all right, I got the costingswrong on the salad dressing. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 |
-But, I mean, what kind of -BLEEP -team name is Symposium anyway? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 |
So, you watch the football? | 0:13:58 | 0:13:59 |
-You what, sorry, mate? -Arsenal or Manchester? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 |
Nah, actually I'm doinga little bit to camera here. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 |
-Sorry, thought you were talkingto me. -No, well, I wasn't. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 |
Anyway, dessert was nice. Seven! | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 |
Hang on. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 |
Teach me how to read, old-timer. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 |
Teach me what you'vewritten on the wall. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 |
Yeah, go on. Teach him. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 |
Well, let's see now. It says... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 |
Vince... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 |
Oh! That's me! Yeah, myname's Vince. Carry on. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 |
Vince...is...a... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 |
Now I know the next letter. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 |
That's a curly 'cuh', innit? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 |
So Vince is a c... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 |
Vince i-is...a... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 |

-You what, sweetheart? -BLEEP. -Vince is a -BLEEP. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 |

-Vince is a -BLEEP! | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 |
-Did you just call me a -BLEEP? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 |
Oh! Look, Vince, I just want youto kill my elderly husband. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 |
Now if that's too much to ask... | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 |
Matter of fact, it is. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 |
I'm doing a sponsored non-violencemonth in aid of cystic fibrosis. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 |
-So if you want to kill your husbandwhy not just -BLEEP -him to death. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 |
I mean, that's how we saidgoodbye to my old dad. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 |

Yes, you did, my boy. Yes, you did. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 |
What do you think, Nelson? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 |
Leave me. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 |
I'm trying to eat chocolate spread,listen to My Chemical Romance | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 |
and weep quietly. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 |
Why the big celebration? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 |
No celebration, Marion. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:15 |
It's Destiny. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 |
It's all over. For good this time. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 |
Nelson, this is crazy talk! | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 |
It is the talk of a suicidal person. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 |
I am a suicidal person. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 |
Oh, in that case,makes perfect sense. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 |
-Sorry for the confusion. -I don'texpect you to understand, Marion. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 |
No-one understands me. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 |
No-one except... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 |
So I was wondering...if you'dbe up for a suicide pact. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 |
Neil? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 |
Chazz Palminteri! | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 |
# Where is my mind? # | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 |
This has to be the most romanticthing I've ever seen! | 0:18:09 | 0:18:15 |
Oh, how could I be so weak? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 |
True love means never giving up! | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 |
Well, don't you worry, Neil. I'llget you two lovebirds back together | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 |
if it's the last thing I do! | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 |
GLASS SMASHES | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 |
CAR ALARM BLARES | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 |
Neil, tell me you're not the Subaru. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 |
OK, Feltz. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 |
Time to take this up a notch. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 |
TAPS FASTER | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 |
Look. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 |
If we are going to have sex,you have to promise me | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 |
you're going to die during,or immediately after. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 |
HE WHEEZES | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 |
Quickly.I just wanted to say thanks. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 |
I was so embarrassed I couldn'tread them words on the wall, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 |
I went and acquired myself | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 |
a basic-grade qualificationin adult literacy. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 |
It has opened upa whole new world to me. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 |
You saucy twat. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 |
Hurrrgh, yarrgh! | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 |
Finally! | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 |
Cor! There ends the amnesty. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 |
I'd better take downthat Just Giving page. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 |
Cor dear! | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 |
Come on, then, Nelson.It's rom-com time! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 |
# Walk away if you want to | 0:19:35 | 0:19:42 |
# It's OK if you need to | 0:19:42 | 0:19:49 |
# Well, you can runBut you can never hide... # | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 |
Ah! Forbidden love.How Shakespearean. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 |
# ..that shadowthat's creeping up beside you | 0:19:56 | 0:20:04 |
# And there's a magic runningthrough your soul | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 |

# Whatever you do... # | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 |

You keep on ringing, Neil.She can't stay in there forever. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 |
# ..To turn aroundI'll be two steps behind. # | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 |
Oh, Neil. Lost his nerve again. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 |
But then things are always theirbleakest before the happy ending. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 |
That's why it's three weddings,then a funeral, THEN a wedding. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 |
Yeah, this really is shaping upto be a classic love story! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 |
Oh, this is going to be so muchsweeter knowing I earnt it. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 |
Put that pig down! | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 |
Says who? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 |
Your stepdaughter, bitch. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 |
Daddy promised me thattoy when I was two. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 |
Maybe he did.But Daddy died intestate, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 |
so his estate naturallypasses over to the spouse. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 |
Intestate? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 |
This signed and notarised documentpromises all squeaky toys to me. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 |
What are you going to do about that? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 |
I might just lodge a caveatat the probate registry, | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 |
preventing a grant of probatewithout my full notification. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 |
That's your right. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 |
Unless I counter-issue you witha warning denying entitlement. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 |
Ahhh! Bitch! | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 |
THEY GROWL | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 |
OINK! | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 |
Leslie! Where have you been? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 |
I have befriended a fox cub, apuppy dog and a young pigeon. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 |
So cute. What do you do? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 |
We deal with the kind of issues thatapparently affect young people. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 |
I'm being pressured intosex instead of GCSEs. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 |
I want to be a DJ butI've been offered drugs. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 |
Bullied via a socialnetworking site. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 |
Come on, guys. You'reforgetting the environment! | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 |
There is phone number if you havebeen affected by any of this. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 |
No. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 |
One other thing. I'vehad my balls cut off. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 |
-Why the frig? -I want to be just like you, Papa. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 |
I want to have no testiclesand live in a dustbin. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 |
It is not as glamorousas you make it sound. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 |
Marion, I need help. I'm nothaving any luck gettingthe humans back together. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 |
If only I could findthe perfect present. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 |
Something adorable that she'dinstantly fall in love with. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 |
Women love kittens.I mean, that is a fact. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 |
Papa? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:47 |
Son, if my balls have taughtme anything, and, believe me, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 |
they haven't, it is that you mustlet go of the things you love. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 |
-Have you seen the filmLittle Miss Sunshine? -Yes. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 |
-Does it illustrate my pointin any way? -Not really. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 |
Fair enough, long shot. Should'vepicked a film I'd seen. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 |
Fact remains, if I can get youan entry-level position | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 |
in a good household, perhaps yourmother will forgive me. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 |
If my Papa wills it, so it must be. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 |
Leslie, I will visit many times. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 |
Regularly to begin. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 |
Then, as time goes by andit becomes more of a chore,less and less frequently. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 |
Until one day,almost without noticing, | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 |
I am no longer a part of your life. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 |
Then I will come back one moretime to borrow some money. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 |
Which you will never get back. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 |
As executor of your late husband'sestate, it falls to me to manage | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 |
and settle his affairs.And Trixie is named | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 |
as residuary beneficiary ofall her father's assets. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 |
-Sweet! -One minute, bitch! | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 |
Is that before orafter pecuniary gifts? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 |
What part of 'residuary beneficiary'don't you understand, tart? | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 |
There are no pecuniary gifts,Destiny. She's sole beneficiary. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 |
Well, not according tothis codicil, she ain't. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 |
-Give that to me. -Oh, whatare you going to do, revoke it(?) | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 |
Revoke this, you slag! | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 |
THEY GRUNT | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 |
Silence! I'll have youboth in contempt. Silence! | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 |
OINK! OINK OINK! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 |
BOTH LAUGH HYSTERICALLY | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 |
-Silence! -OINK! OINK! OINNK... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 |
Oh, bloody hell.Think I've broken it. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 |
Yep. No, I have. I've broken it. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 |
-Not interested. -Forget it then. -Right. Next case. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 |
The estate ofBeatrix Potter versus Vincent Fox. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 |
-Oh, dear! -Look, for the last time, | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 |
-I created the character ofJemima Bucket -BLEEP | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 |
in good faith. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 |
For fuck's sake. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 |
# Hallelujah! # | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 |

I took you down to Chinatown! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 |
Oh, my gosh, this feels good! Ha ha! | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 |
Oh, my neck does ache though. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 |
Oh, my God. Wow. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 |
Oh, it's not untilyou stop. Jeez. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 |

Vanessa Jane Feltz (born 21 February 1962) is an English television personality, broadcaster, and journalist. She has appeared in various television shows, including Vanessa (1994–1998), The Big Breakfast (1996–1998), The Vanessa Show (1999), Celebrity Big Brother (2001), The Wright Stuff (2003–2005), This Morning (2006–present), and Strictly Come Dancing (2013). Feltz currently presents an early morning radio show on BBC Radio 2 and the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio London. She also regularly sits in for Sara Cox and for Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2.
Early life[edit]
Vanessa Feltz was born in Islington, London, and grew up in Pine Grove, Totteridge. On her radio show she frequently refers to Totteridge as 'the Beverly Hills of North London' and her middle class Jewish background as like 'growing up in Fiddler on the Roof'.[2] Her father, Norman, was in the lingerie business.[1]
Feltz was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls, an independent school in Elstree, Hertfordshire. She then read English at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating with a first class honours degree.[3]
Career[edit]
1980s and 1990s: Early career[edit]
Feltz was the first female columnist for The Jewish Chronicle and later joined the Daily Mirror. She wrote her first book at this time entitled What Are These Strawberries Doing on My Nipples? I Need Them for the Fruit Salad.[2]
Feltz replaced Paula Yates on Channel 4's morning TV show The Big Breakfast, presenting a regular item where she interviewed celebrities whilst lying on a bed. She has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Rolf Harris while interviewing him on the programme.[4] In 1997, Feltz was tricked by the spoof TV show Brass Eye.
She presented the ITV daytime television chat show, Vanessa, made by Anglia Television. She moved to the BBC to host a similar show, The Vanessa Show, in 1998 in a reported £2.7 million deal.[5] ITV replaced her show with Trisha.
In 1999, The Vanessa Show suffered from bad publicity as some guests were alleged to have been actors. Despite her having had no involvement in the booking of guests, Feltz was seen to be at fault, and the show was cancelled soon after.[6]
2000s: BBC London 94.9, Celebrity Big Brother and more reality television[edit]
In 2001, Feltz joined the local radio station BBC London 94.9 to present a mid-afternoon phone-in show and it has continued to run since then at various times, from 2005 to 2015 at 09.00 to noon. Since 2016 it has been broadcast from 07.00 to 10.00 Monday to Friday.
Also in 2001, Feltz was a contestant on the first series of Celebrity Big Brother. She has appeared on its spin-off shows Big Brother's Big Mouth, Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Brother's Bit on the Side on numerous occasions.
In 2002, she made a cameo appearance in the comedy film Once Upon a Time in the Midlands. In May 2003, she was voted 93rd on the list of worst Britons in Channel 4's poll of the 100 Worst Britons.[1]
Between 2003 and 2005, Feltz made regular appearances on five's The Wright Stuff, but then had to depart the show because the timing clashed with her new radio show.
In 2004, she made an appearance in a sketch in the first episode of the second series of BBC comedy sketch show Little Britain, playing a spokeswoman for fictional slimming club Fat Fighters. Also in that year she appeared in the second series of reality TV show Celebrity Fit Club in a bid to lose weight.[7]
Feltz has also appeared on three different episodes of The Weakest Link. In two episodes she made it to the final round but lost to Sue Perkins on one occasion and to Tony Slattery on the other. The third episode she appeared on was the Special 1,000 Celebratory episode to celebrate 1,000 episodes of The Weakest Link being made. She was the 6th one voted off.[citation needed]
Feltz's other game show appearances include an episode of Russian Roulette, hosted by Rhona Cameron.[8]
2010s: Radio 2, Channel 5 and Strictly Come Dancing[edit]
In 2010, Feltz and Ofoedu won their episode of the Virgin 1 show A Restaurant in our Living Room, preparing a dinner at their home for 25 people.
Feltz returned to the Big Brother house on 3 September 2010 during Ultimate Big Brother, the last series to be broadcast on Channel 4.[9] She was evicted from the house on 8 September, two days before the final.
Feltz took on a greater workload of radio and TV presenting in 2011. She took over the BBC Radio 2Early Breakfast Show on 17 January 2011 broadcasting from 05:00 until 06:30 each weekday in the slot formerly occupied by Sarah Kennedy. Writing of her Radio 2 debut, The Daily Telegraph radio critic, Gillian Reynolds described Feltz's voice as 'like lemon tea with honey'.[10] She often covers Jeremy Vine's news and current affairs show on Radio 2 when Vine is away.[2] During this time her early breakfast is show covered by another presenter, usually Nicki Chapman.
On 7 March 2011, Channel 5 moved The Vanessa Show to an afternoon slot at 14:15 following disappointing ratings for the morning slot. The move allowed Feltz to appear in live editions of her TV show after her morning radio commitments.[11] Ratings eventually improved and a second series of the show was planned to commence in September 2011 but it never went ahead. The Guardian's 'Media Monkey' blog dubbed Feltz 'officially the hardest working woman in broadcasting' due to her weekday broadcasting commitments.[12]
Vanessa Feltz Personal Life
On 7 September 2013, she re-entered the Celebrity Big Brother house to take part in a task. She left the house the same day.[13]
In July 2019, the BBC Annual Report recorded that Feltz was one of three women, along with Claudia Winkleman and Zoe Ball, amongst the ten highest paid BBC presenters, with a salary of £355,000.[14]
Personal life[edit]
Feltz was married to Michael Kurer; their marriage ended in divorce. In December 2006, Feltz became engaged to Anglo-Nigerian singer Ben Ofoedu[15] and originally planned to marry the following year.[15]
She has two daughters and three grandchildren. Her elder daughter is Allegra Benitah, a former tax lawyer who is now a television baker and chef.[16][17]
She lives with Ofoedu in St John's Wood, London, in a house which might have been occupied by Agapemonite sect leader Reverend John Hugh Smyth-Piggot and by Charles Saatchi. It was featured in Sir John Betjeman's documentary Metro-land (1973).[18]
