Vogue Williams Enters I'm A Celebrity Amid Split Rumors as Spencer Matthews Misses Camp
When Vogue Williams stepped into the muddy jungle of Murwillumbah on November 17, 2025, she didn’t just enter a reality TV challenge—she walked straight into a media storm. The 38-year-old Irish presenter, known for her sharp wit and fashion influence, left her three young children behind to compete in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!Murwillumbah, sparking immediate speculation about her marriage to Spencer Matthews, the 36-year-old British star of Made In Chelsea. The timing? Suspicious. The silence? Loud. And the past? Unmistakably haunting.
Why the Silence from Spencer?
The London Standard broke the story on November 19, 2025, quoting Williams directly: "And I could only assume it was because he wasn't in my content for Affric, because he came up on the Saturday. But I'm like, maybe it's because he's going away as well on his thing for three weeks." She was referring to their recent filming trip to the Affric Highlands in Scotland, where the couple had been creating content for a brand collaboration. His absence from her Instagram posts—once a staple of their shared life—wasn’t just noticeable. It was conspicuous. Fans noticed. Media pounced. And Williams, ever the pragmatist, didn’t deny the rumors. She just reframed them.A Ghost from the Jungle: Spencer’s 2016 Exit
There’s a ghost in this jungle. And it’s Spencer Matthews himself. Nine years ago, in 2016, the then-26-year-old Matthews entered the same Australian camp—only to be pulled out after two days. He later told the BBC he’d been taking steroid-based medication to bulk up for a charity boxing match that never happened. "Vanity, I suppose," he admitted. "I had intended to come off the pills gradually, but there was no time." Production deemed it unsafe. He called it a "serious error of judgement." Now, as his wife enters the same jungle, he’s not just absent—he’s conspicuously silent. No social media support. No public statements. No visible presence. And while he’s reportedly away on "his thing for three weeks," the coincidence is too stark to ignore. This isn’t just a scheduling conflict. It’s a mirror.
Who Are They, Really?
Vogue Williams, born Vogue Evangeline Solange Williams on November 15, 1986, in Dublin, is the daughter of Irish businessman Brian Williams and former model Jillian Williams. She rose to fame through radio, fashion, and reality TV—always with an unfiltered edge. Spencer Matthews, born November 19, 1988, in London, is the heir to the Matthews Construction fortune, a multi-million-pound empire founded by his grandfather Robin Matthews. Their 2018 wedding in Marbella was a glittering affair, watched by thousands. They’ve since built a family: Theodore (b. 2019), Ottilie (b. 2020), and a third child, unnamed in public records but very real. Before Vogue, Spencer dated Irish singer Pixie Lott and British socialite Stephanie Del Valle. Their relationship has always been tabloid gold—sometimes tender, often turbulent. But this? This feels different.The Show That Never Lets Go
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!Murwillumbah is more than a TV show. It’s a cultural institution. Produced by ITV Studios and Jungle Entertainment, it’s broadcast nightly at 9pm GMT on ITV1 and streamed on ITVX. The 2025 edition—Williams’ debut—is already one of the most talked-about in years. What’s unusual isn’t just that she’s there. It’s that he’s not. And that he was once there himself—under scandal, under pressure, under the weight of his own choices. Now, he’s watching from afar, while she endures the bugs, the challenges, the isolation. Is it a coincidence? Or is this the next chapter in a story where fame, ego, and endurance collide?
What’s Next?
The show runs for three weeks. By December 8, 2025, one of them will be crowned King of the Jungle. But the real drama may not be on screen. It’s in the DMs, the missed calls, the empty Instagram grids. If Williams wins, will he be the first to congratulate her? If she doesn’t? Will he even show up? The public is watching. And for the first time, the jungle isn’t just testing celebrities’ endurance—it’s testing the durability of their marriage.Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Spencer Matthews not supporting Vogue on social media during I'm A Celebrity?
Vogue Williams herself suggested Spencer’s absence from her posts might be due to his own three-week commitment elsewhere, possibly related to their Affric Highlands filming trip. But fans and media note that he’s never been this silent during her public appearances before—especially not during a major reality show. His lack of public support, combined with his own traumatic exit from the same show in 2016, has fueled speculation about strain in their relationship.
What happened to Spencer Matthews during his 2016 I'm A Celebrity appearance?
Spencer Matthews was removed from the 2016 series after just two days when he disclosed to producers he’d been taking steroid-based medication to bulk up for a charity boxing match that never took place. He admitted it was a "serious error of judgement" driven by vanity. Production deemed his continued participation unsafe due to potential health risks, leading to his early exit—a moment he later called "extremely hard" to accept.
How many children do Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews have?
The couple has three children: Theodore, born in May 2019; Ottilie, born in October 2020; and a third child, whose birth date and name have not been publicly disclosed. Vogue referenced "her three beloved kids" in her November 2025 interview with the London Standard, confirming all three are at home while she competes in Australia.
Where is I'm A Celebrity filmed, and why is it always in Australia?
The show has been filmed in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, since 2009, primarily at Dungay Station. The remote, humid jungle environment provides the perfect setting for the show’s "bushtucker trials" and isolation challenges. Australia’s infrastructure, climate, and legal framework make it logistically ideal for the production, which has been running annually since 2002.
Is this the first time Vogue Williams has been on reality TV?
No. Vogue Williams first gained fame as a radio presenter on Dublin’s 98FM and later appeared on Love Island in 2015. She’s also been a regular on Irish reality shows and fashion content platforms. But I'm A Celebrity marks her first major UK-wide reality TV role—and her most high-profile challenge yet, both physically and emotionally.
Could Spencer Matthews join the show in the future?
It’s possible, though unlikely in the near term. Producers tend to avoid bringing back former contestants within five years, especially those who left under controversy. But with the public’s intense interest in their relationship, and Spencer’s past connection to the show, a return—perhaps as a guest or in a spin-off—could be considered if their marriage remains in the spotlight.
