Now, Vanessa, 60, has opened up about being "incredibly sad" following the split, with her appetite severely affected.
The Talk TV presenter was joined by Ulrika Jonsson on her drive time show tonight to discuss heartbreak remedies.
She was supported by former Gladiators star Ulrika, 55, who gave her "five point plan" to getting over the break.
Vanessa revealed to her pal Ulrika that the heartbreak had caused her to stop being hungry, and had been eating chocolate or biscuits instead of meals.
"I know I'm not myself because I am not even going near the chocolate biscuits, it's because I'm just not hungry," she said.
The star went on to detail how she felt "incredibly sad" over the split – which came after suggestions of infidelity.
It comes after Vanessa's This Morning co-stars Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have revealed they've been supporting her for weeks amid her split from fiancé Ben.
The TV star ended the 16-year relationship after allegedly discovering evidence Ben had cheated on her.

The agony aunt told her ITV colleagues that she felt "sad, hurt and terribly humiliated" in her usual segment on the show on Wednesday.
Vanessa told the pair that Ben's infidelity was "a terrible shock" and "also a kind of gradual thing" as she pieced things together.
Vanessa continued: "I don’t want to dwell on the details, I really do want to focus on the future."
"I think the best thing to do is to gather all the things you love, the people you love, and keep them close."
The trio then turned to Vanessa's role on This Morning as an agony aunt and Holly asked her about her phone-in topic today.
The TV and radio star turned the tables on viewers, asking them to help her, in a show first.
Vanessa became tearful and her voice shook, telling viewers: "It's about broken hearts really."
She added: "I would love it if people called in and told me how they got over heartbreak.
