Feltz recently announced she had split from Ofoedu after 16 years together. She had been engaged to the Phats & Small singer since 2006.
Ofiedu has now confessed to a Sunday newspaper he had cheated on Feltz and she discovered on Christmas Day 2022 he had been exchanging sexually explicit messages with fans.
Ofoedu admitted: "I was sex texting somebody," adding that the fan had sent him nude photos and that while he had never sent one back, he did engage in flirty messages.
He said: "When you’re in a relationship you shouldn’t be talking to someone who your other half doesn’t know about. I can’t justify it, I knew I was in the wrong."
The singer also revealed he had cheated while in Ibiza in 2015 and the woman had contacted Feltz to tell her about the affair.
Ofoedu said: "No one knew, but I moved out for a little while. We worked it out. She forgave me. It took her a lot to do that. I knew how hurt she was. I felt absolutely terrible."
Announcing the split in a video statement Feltz said: "It's clear that it's over and I really do feel that once the trust in a relationship is gone then you can't really get it back and that's what I would tell anyone else to do."
"And so I just wanted to say that obviously I feel incredibly sad and I am pretty disappointed and shocked and all those horrible things but also full of resolve. I am not going to let this defeat me."
