"I began to realise about 10 years in that we would never get married. Someone not wanting to have your surname. I'm religious and the person you love most of all doesn't want to validate your love. That hurt," Ben said.

However, she announced they were separating in an emotional Instagram video from their £3.5million London home on 5 February.
"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," Vanessa began.

"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. Because I am not going to let this defeat me."
