Vanessa Feltz has revealed her partner of 12 years has never seen her without makeup on.

Vanessa and her other half, Ben Ofoedu, appeared on Tuesday’s Loose Women and revealed their secret to a successful relationship.

The TV personality admitted she believes having smudged eyeliner under your eyes in the morning is better than having no makeup on at all.

Panellist Christine Lampard asked Vanessa if she gets up early to put a full face of makeup on or whether she puts it on the night before.

Vanessa said: “When I was a teenager my sister and I discussed this and I think smudged eyeliner the day after is better than no makeup whatsoever.

“And I’ve stuck to that rule.”

But she then jokingly warned viewers not to do the same.

Vanessa said she believes Ben is a “sensitive soul” and he may be shocked if he saw her without makeup on.

She continued: “I think he’s a sensitive soul he’s quite young and I think he’d have a shock. I’ve been drawing these lips on for 12 years.”

Ben revealed Vanessa even sported red lippy on a swimming date!

He quipped: “I don’t know who she is really [without makeup].”

Ben added: “I didn’t notice until like two years in that she didn’t take her makeup off and then I was in a swimming pool and she was wearing bright red lipstick.

“I thought it was a bit weird.”

Ben added: “It has kept it fresh and sexy in a mysterious kind of way. Twelve years later it still works.”
