Vanessa Feltz, 60, jokes it’s time to trade in her hot toy boy as he celebrates his 50th birthday
Vanessa Felz has often boasted about having a much younger partner.
But the BBC The presenter says fiancé Ben Ofoedu’s recent 50th birthday means he’s now too old to qualify as a toyboy and jokingly suggested it might be time to trade him in for a younger model.
Ms Feltz, 60, has been with the singer for 16 years and has spoken frequently about their adventurous sex life.
As her partner was about to celebrate his milestone, the broadcaster said: “We have nothing in common and everyone obviously thought it was impossible, including us.
All joking: Vanessa Feltz, 60, joked it was time to trade in her fiancé as fiancé Ben Ofoedu’s 50th birthday means he’s now officially too old to be a ‘toyboy’
“I know I don’t look like it, of course, and I’m a walking wonder, but I was 60 in February, and you’ll know that means he’ll be 50 soon, and for a toyboy, that’s old, isn’t it?
‘And I think it’s time to trade it in, don’t you think? He’s served well for 16 years, but you know he’s outgrown the role, hasn’t he?’
Ms Feltz, who also hosts the breakfast show on BBC Radio London, also made a veiled reference to her partner’s impressive physique while admitting they shared few interests.
She told the Table Manners podcast: “We’re not married but we’ve been engaged for 16 hellish years. We do not have anything in common.

“Anyone who knows us knows we have nothing in common, nothing to talk about, nothing to stay and nothing to do. Actually he’s a very good cook, funnily enough.’
She added: “He is from Essex but of Nigerian descent and wears a size 14.5. I won’t say anything else, that’s all I said, all I say is the size of the shoe.’
Ms. Feltz has two daughters – Allegra, 36, and Saskia, 33 – from her marriage to orthopedist Michael Kurer.
Vanessa was previously married to orthopedist Michael Kurer until they separated in 2000
They separated in 2000 when Ms Feltz found out he was having an affair, but she had to pay him £1.5million in the divorce settlement.
