'If you're never going to get there it's only polite!' Vanessa Feltz admits to ... trends now

Vanessa Feltz admitted that she often faked orgasms - in a podcast recorded before she split from her cheating fiancé Ben Ofoedu. 

The broadcaster, 61, said sometimes you have to fake it to 'be polite' if you are getting intimate but 'never going to get there. 

Speaking on the Grazia Life Advice podcast while she was still with Ben she went on to explain that it's 'rude' not to fake it if your partner is 'trying every trick in the book'.

Vanessa split from her former partner of 16 years Ben, 50, last month after he confessed to cheating on her during the relationship.

Revealing the worst advice she'd ever been given she told the podcast before her split: 'Experts say if you fake an orgasm, how will your lover/partner ever really know what you like? So they'll never do it.

'I think that is the worst advice because sometimes it is just rude not to fake it.

'Sometimes your partner is trying every trick in the book. They have been twiddling and licking and flicking. They're absolutely 10/10 for effort.'

She added: 'I'm not saying do it every time but on those occasions – when you're not concentrating and thinking about defrosting the freezer and are never going to get there – you've got to fake it, it's only polite.

'Everyone saves face and no-one's embarrassed or ashamed.'

It comes after last week Vanessa admitted life 'isn't easy' after the split. 

The star shared a video to Instagram on Monday where she revealed she 'can't sleep in the middle of the night' but hopes it will get better.

While enjoying dinner at the Brasserie Of Light restaurant within London's Selfridges, she was asked by a friend, 'Vanessa, you’re looking great but how do you really feel?' 

After pulling an emotional expression, she replied: 'Well, no one said it was going to be easy and I must say it isn’t easy actually, especially in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep and all of that.
