Ben Ofoedu 'open' about crush on Ulrika Jonsson as pal urges them to meet
Ben Ofoedu and Ulrika Jonsson have been urged to see if there's a spark between them by a mutual friend.
Ben picked the former Gladiators host as his celebrity crush according to former Celebs Go Dating star Ryan-Mark Parsons. In a clip of Ben and Ryan-Mark shared on social media, Ulrika commented a heart emoji, with the former The Apprentice star suggesting that there may be a spark between the pair.
Ben has been keeping a low profile in the wake of his split from Vanessa Feltz last year. The TalkTV presenter, 61, dumped the Phats and Small star, 51, after finding out he'd been unfaithful multiple times across their 16-year relationship, despite his denial that he is a serial cheat.

But he insists that both Ulrika and Ben could be the perfect match after noticing they have similar interests.
The youngest ever Apprentice candidate, says he knows the pair very well and thinks they would make a perfect match. He told The Mirror: "Ben is very much interested like a lot of men are, who can blame him? She is stunning. Ulrika has always been someone admired by men.

"The fact she left a love heart on the trailer? Well, you can make your own mind up about that. I worked with Ulrika for three months, I know Ben very well, and I know they would get on like a house on fire. Ben loves red wine, Ulrika loves rum - go and have a drink together.
Ben cheated on Vanessa Feltz and she quickly called off their 16-year relationship"They would make a very good pairing. Ben was candid in the interview and I think people will see a whole new side to him. He's very open about what he thinks of Ulrika too. I think it's been bubbling away and I hope they take things forward and see if there's a spark there."
Ulrika offered Vanessa advice weeks after her relationship crumbled. She said: "Painful as it is, you’ve got to just endure it. It doesn’t matter how strong, how independent or how smart you are, heartbreak is an absolute swine." The pair appeared on Celebrity Big Brother together in 2010.
Vanessa kicked Ben out of their North London home and blocked his calls in the aftermath of their split. Ben told the Mirror weeks after: “I’ve broken her trust. She gave me another chance. I’ve gone and destroyed that.” Spelling out his cheating last March, Ben went on: “So many people have been hurt, not just Vanessa. I was so close to her grandchildren, her daughters, and their husbands. We’re a close-knit family.
“My family have been appalled by it as well. There’s been a lot of pain. “My last conversation with Vanessa was me saying how wonderful she was, how she was the love of my life and saying how much I loved her and that I’m so, so sorry it’s happened. ‘Please find it in your heart to forgive me’. Those were the last words I said. Then she blocked me on her phone, on social media and never answered my emails."
Mirror Online has approached both Ben and Ulrika's reps for comment.
