The Talk TV presenter recently split from her former fiancee after 16 years together - but Vanessa insists she's slowly recovering from her heartbreak.

The 60-year-old broadcaster told the Sun newspaper: "Thank you all for your kindness. I'm doing ok."

Vanessa recently took to social media to announce their break-up.

The veteran TV star admitted that she was "incredibly sad" about their split, after Vanessa discovered that Ben had been unfaithful.

She said on Instagram: "Well I haven't been on instagram for three weeks and that's because my relationship with Ben is over after sixteen years and I honestly didn't know what to say to you on instagram.

"But now it's clear that it's over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone then you can't really get it back and that's what I would tell anyone else to do.

"And so I just wanted to say that obviously I feel incredibly sad and I am pretty disappointed and shocked and all those horrible things but also full of resolve. I am not going to let this defeat me. (sic)"

Vanessa subsequently revealed that she's looking forward to celebrating her 61st birthday.

She said: "I am so glad to be living longer than my mum did, she died at 57 and for the Lord's prayers, I am going to be 61 next month.

"I am very very grateful to be alive and I want to carry on feeling that way and I want to celebrate and find fun and laughter anywhere I can.

"I know it is not going to be easy but I am absolutely determined to do it. (sic)"
