Vanessa Feltz has dished on the possibility of a shocking reality show return after not finding love on the programme the first time.

The 62-year-old has a large social media following and has gained even more online followers since her split from fiancé Ben Ofoedu in 2023 - but it was her recent stint on Celebs Go Dating that really had the public falling in love with her - and Vanessa has said she'd be up for appearing on the show again.

Confessing there's nothing big happening in her love life at the moment after her devastating split last year, Vanessa did add that thanks to her stint on Celebs Go Dating, she's no longer nervous about getting back in the dating game. The This Morning told OK!: "If they [Celebs Go Dating] took me back then I'd give it more of a chance. I'm calmer now so I'd be better."

When asked directly about her time on the show, Vanessa told the magazine: "Celebs Go Dating was interesting. It was certainly a way to get back into the dating scene after 17 years. I didn't meet Mr Right and I wish I had, but I gave it a whirl. If the show gets commissioned again then I'd do it again. I'd do it better this time and they'd give me a second chance."

Vanessa ended her longterm romance with singer Ben over Christmas 2022 after discovering his infidelity after he had cheated on her multiple times throughout the duration of their relationship. And after Vanessa took her brave step forward in going on her first date in 17 years, Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson has sung her praises, admitting that Vanessa is finally ready to move on from her 'devastating' split with Ben.

"We were really delighted that she wanted to come on the show, and she really does want to find love. She wants to move on from the heartbreak of her ex, she wants to move forwards and I think it’s really exciting for her to come on," the dating expert gushed. Hinting at some very emotional scenes with heartbroken Vanessa, Anna added to Daily Star: "I think viewers are going to be intrigued as she unpacks the devastating heartbreak she’s been through."
