It's no secret that Vanessa Feltz has been one of the most controversial contestants on this year's series of Celebs Go Dating. After THAT pizza incident with date Paul, making her feelings clear to the experts that she was upset a date looked like her ex, and then a slight miscommunication over the word 'pegging', some were surprised Vanessa hasn't called it quits when it comes to love. However, in an interview with The Mirror, long-time dating expert Anna Williamson set the record straight and revealed the 61-year-old has a 'positive' dating future.
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." The 42-year-old also referenced Vanessa's dramatic change since first arriving at the agency, which was shortly after her split from ex-fiancé of 16 years Ben Ofoedu when she found out he'd cheated. "She started very green at dating and now she's an absolute dating pro.
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," Anna continued. Anna's candid insight comes after Vanessa, who is mum to two daughters, opened up at the National Television Awards this month and said it was "difficult" to film the E4 show and described it as an "education".
"It's been an education. It's been a little difficult in parts," Vanessa told OK! on the red carpet. "I think dating is difficult.
