Vanessa has launched herself into the world of dating again (ITV)She said: "Vanessa has undoubtedly had a lot of heat on her throughout this series and we haven't escaped that either from people. But I'm really pleased that Vanessa stuck with the process and we naturally stuck with Vanessa to help bring her through."
Anna also revealed Vanessa has undergone a huge change since she first arrived at the agency looking for advice after splitting with her ex-fiancé musician Ben. "She started very green at dating and now she's an absolute dating pro," Anna continued. "I hope people will be pleased to see her finish this series in a really positive place, perhaps a place that people wouldn't have assumed might happen if they'd been watching a couple of weeks ago. But Vanessa is a great example of someone who sticks with the process and we eventually get there in the end."
