The This Morning presenter has broken new ground on talkTV, having fronted their coverage of the Coronation of HM King Charles III.
This comes after Vanessa previously hailed her show for helping to get her through the heartbreak, after her split with Ben Ofoedu, 50.
The TV presenter explained: "I've got a fantastic team and I absolutely love them.
"And I know all presenters will always say that, but I am not just saying it. I really, really mean it. They've been in my corner.
"I felt as if I was sort of, getting refuge with friends every day."
"It's very, very good to have something to take your mind off a broken heart," she added.
