Ricki Lake has revealed that she is nursing a broken heart after the end of a relationship.

The talkshow host, whose ten-year marriage to Rob Sussman ended in 2003, refused to name her recent ex-boyfriend.

She told WENN: "I'm recently heartbroken but I'm OK. I'm better than I was yesterday."

The 41-year-old also talked about the kind of man she is looking for, saying: "I'm kind of a cougar, they have to be 30-something with a job!"

She added: "I don't want them to take care of me, I just want them to take care of themselves."
