has received thousands of messages of sympathy following the very public break-up with her partner of the last 16 years, Ben Ofeodu. It must be horrible to find out that person you love and trusted has cheated on you so sneakily.In all those outpourings of love and support for Vanessa, there's been little comment about the 10-year age difference between the two protagonists: Vanessa, at 60, was a decade older than her errant former lover. Times have changed so much. She was 44 when they met in 2005, and there was a considerable amount of negative comment at the time.I know how it felt back then. I dated the photographer Normski for four years. We were photographed together at the premiere of Four Weddings and Funeral in 1994 when I was 48 and he was 27, and you can imagine the nasty comments we received about our age difference. Norm was trashed as a 'toy boy', a bad joke considering how smart he was.
