The TV star is a regular guest on the ITV daytime show and usually joins in discussions and debates. Vanessa, 62, and radio host Tom Swarbrick joined hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on Wednesday, 24 April on the iconic blue sofa.
The group discussed the latest news, with Ben, 49, unveiling the findings of a study about relationships and driving. He and his co-stars discussed whether they are a 'backseat driver' - a car passenger who excessively comments on the driver's actions and decisions, despite not being in control of the car themselves.
Vanessa wasted no time opening up about her ex Ben, 51, and how he was reluctant to learn to drive while they were together, meaning Vanessa was always the one to drive them to places. She said he "refused" to learn to drive. "Well, let's just say, my last relationship went on for nearly 17 years, and that incumbent refused to learnt to drive so I was the chauffeur.
Cook, bottle washer and chauffeur," she said, laughing. Vanessa added: "And the backseat driving got worse with every year. Including the thing where that person was pushing on an imaginary brake as I was driving.
I'm a bit of a girl racer at times but I did not like it. And I just think, if you want to drive, learn to drive." She then branded the situation "infuriating" as her co-stars laughed. Vanessa and Ben, who were engaged, split in 2022.
Their break up was very public and painful, with Ben publicly apologising for being unfaithful to his girlfriend of 17 years.
