TV and radio presenter revealed she is not ready to give up on her love life as she admitted she has a ‘good feeling’ about a she has lined up.
The 62-year-old has been single since splitting from fiancé Ben Ofoedu in February last year.
Since then she has encountered a number of ‘bruising failures’ in the dating sphere, but she is not ready to give up hope just yet.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Vanessa said: “If I had an ounce of sense, I’d say: ‘Never again! hang up my black lace balconette bra and matching G-string and give up. I haven’t and I won’t.
“I still think Mr Delightful is waiting out there somewhere.
“I still need and want someone to turn to and say: ‘There’s a fox in the garden, when there’s a fox in the garden.’ I’m not ready to give up and eke out the rest of my days alone.

“In fact, there is another date in the offing. I have the glimmerings of a good feeling about this one. You never know.”
The star described dating app Tinder as a ‘no-go area’ for celebrities such as herself. She says she will ‘plough on’ with looking to find Mr Right despite suffering ‘a brace of bruising failures’.
Before meeting Ben Vanessa was married to surgeon Michael Kurer from 1983 to 2000. The pair had two daughters before getting divorced after 17 years of marriage.
Vanessa added: “Writing this, I could describe myself as fresh from another dating disaster if the word ‘fresh’ wasn’t so blindingly inaccurate.
“It happened two nights ago and I’m pulverised, diminished and a little more desolate than I ever want to feel. To plough on with dating after a brace of bruising failures takes dollops of optimism.

“You must trust the next bloke will emanate a shred of humour, gaze at you more longingly than at his apple crumble and exude enough pheromones to float your flipping boat.”
It comes after as she admitted she prefers younger bachelors.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, she said: “In general, chaps fall off the fanciable precipice the minute they sail north of 55. They shrivel physically, intellectually and spiritually. Think Samantha’s older lover’s sagging buttocks giving her the ick – despite him giving her Cartier diamonds – in Sex and the City.
“Let’s be factual, not polite. It isn’t sexy hanging out with fellows who take an hour and a half to pee. Their toenails crumble. Their scalps flake through carefully combed wisps of frizzled hair.”
