In a clip for the podcast, which was released on Sunday he said: ‘For the first six years, she was great. She has a way of emasculating.

‘When she’s had a drink she’s quite aggressive. The way she used to shout at me, the way she used to speak about me, and speak to me, can you imagine what she would be like behind closed doors?’

Ben went onto claim that his ‘whole personality changed’ while he was in a relationship with Vanessa.

He added: ‘There’s a few things that I let slide, I was told twice that she’d been unfaithful to me, by members of her family and her best friend.’

Ben also hit back at reports that he cheated on Vanessa, saying: ‘This kind of love rat cheatey thing that everyone thinks that I am, I’m just so far from it.’

Prior to her relationship with Ben, Vanessa was married to ex-husband Michael from 1983 until they divorced in 2000. They share daughters Allegra, 38, and Saskia, 35.

Ben’s new relationship comes almost two years following the breakdown of his long-term romance with broadcaster Vanessa, who was left distraught after discovering the singer had been unfaithful.

Vanessa told of how she threw herself out of a moving taxi the moment Ben confessed to the infidelity because she couldn’t bear to hear another word. 

In an interview, she said: ‘My coat was torn. Blood was seeping from a cut on my arm. I ᴀssumed he would stop the cab and follow to see if I’d survived the leap. He didn’t.’ 

After their break-up, Ben spoke to MailOnline about how he felt the author had no interest in making their relationship official, alleging their 10-year age gap ‘bred insecurity’.

In February last year, Ben said: ‘I gave myself to someone for a quarter of my life and ultimately I got nothing from it… it’s absolutely heartbreaking.

‘I met Vanessa when I was 34 and I lived 17 years in her life and it was all what she wanted.’  

The former couple were engaged to marry but Ben alleged he felt Vanessa, who appeared on E4’s Celebs Go Dating following their separation, only stayed with him to make her feel younger.

He explained: ‘I was so in love but I felt like I was being strung along and she just wanted a bit of arm candy, whereas I wanted marriage and kids and real love.

‘For her, I felt I was just a convenience. I was a cooler, younger guy that gave her a youthful appearance.’
