Imagine stepping into the jungle, knowing your spouse once tried and failed—now it’s your turn to face the challenges. But here’s where it gets intriguing: Vogue Williams, the Irish TV presenter and latecomer to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, is following in her husband’s footsteps—literally. And this is the part most people miss: her husband, former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, couldn’t be prouder, despite his own short-lived stint in the jungle back in 2015. But is this a tale of redemption, or just another chapter in their adventurous lives?
Vogue’s journey into the jungle began on Thursday, November 20, 2025, during the ITV reality show’s episode, where she joined fellow latecomer Tom Read Wilson from Celebs Go Dating. For Vogue, this decision wasn’t made lightly. In her own words, she admitted, ‘I always thought I wouldn’t do it, because I’ve gotten too comfortable in my life. I like my eight hours of sleep, I enjoy good food, and I love to relax. I’ve never really pushed myself beyond my comfort zone.’ But turning 40 changed her perspective. She realized she didn’t want to live in fear of the unknown. ‘Doing this is a massive life experience,’ she explained. ‘It’s not something you can pay for, and at 40, I think it’s pretty cool to take on *I’m A Celebrity.’*
However, it’s not all excitement for Vogue. As a mother of three—Theodore (6), Gigi (4), and Otto (3)—she confessed her biggest struggle will be missing her children. ‘I’ve never been away this long, and I spend so much time with them,’ she shared. ‘That’s going to be the hardest part.’ But here’s the controversial question: Can a parent truly balance such a demanding adventure with the emotional toll of being away from their kids?
Spencer Matthews, who knows the jungle’s challenges all too well, took to social media to express his unwavering support. Sharing Vogue’s official I’m A Celebrity photo, he wrote, ‘Delighted that I no longer need to sidestep this rumour! It’s true, she’s in! The world is about to see what I’ve known for nearly nine years—my wife is extraordinary. Vogue isn’t just fearless and gorgeous on TV; she’s like that in life. What you see is what you get.’ He praised her unique blend of warmth, humor, grit, and heart, calling her his best friend, a phenomenal wife, and a perfect mother. ‘I’m very proud of her for taking on *I’m A Celeb,’* he added. ‘Stepping outside your comfort zone takes courage, and if anyone can light up that jungle, it’s her.’
But let’s not forget Spencer’s own jungle experience. In 2015, he entered the show but had to withdraw just days later, never making it to the main camp. Is Vogue’s success in the jungle a way to rewrite their family’s reality TV legacy? Or is it simply a testament to her individuality?
As Vogue embarks on this adventure, Spencer’s words of encouragement resonate: ‘Good luck, my love. Be brilliant, as you always are. The kids and I are behind you every step of the way.’ But what do you think? Is Vogue’s decision to join I’m A Celebrity a bold move or a risky one? And does her husband’s past experience add pressure or inspiration? Share your thoughts in the comments—let’s spark a conversation!
