Vanessa Feltz - 'I'd rather be fatter and happier that be on this heartbreak diet'

ok.co.uk:

After her partner of 17 years, Ben Ofoedu cheated on her, Vanessa Feltz was left utterly heartbroken. But while it might look to the outside world that she's happier than ever, she exclusively revealed to us that isn't necessarily the case.

When we catch up for a chat and say she looks incredible, the 61-year-old sighs and admitted her recent glow is, unfortunately, down to the "broken heart diet." She said: "I do not recommend it to anybody.

I’d much rather be fatter and happier than thinner and miserable." And although she's aware of people commenting on her transformation, it didn't happen because she wanted it. "People might say “well done” on my weight loss but I just felt so sick in my heart that I didn’t want to eat anything," Vanessa continued. "And for me, that’s bloody unusual.

I’d normally be reaching for an éclair. It’s not something I’d wish upon anyone." But, Vanessa, who has recently joined Celebs Go Dating, also admitted that to help move on from a broken heart is to keep busy and surround yourself with distractions.
