Vogue Williams confesses she found herself making apologies to mates and relatives after rumours swirled that she was heading into the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

The 40-year-old podcasting sensation was a late arrival on the popular ITV programme alongside Tom Read Wilson.

However, there had already been more than a month of rumors that the mother-of-three had been named a potential contestant by betting companies.

Vogue made her I’m A Celeb debut with TV figure Tom on November 19, reports the Irish Mirror.

Before her participation was officially announced, Vogue revealed details about the rumor mill while hosting the Vogue and Amber podcast with her older sibling Amber Wilson.

She stated, “I can’t tell you. I was stopped by a taxi driver and said, “I thought you were meant to be in the jungle,” and I was like, “Ha ha, ha.”

She continued, “I’m like a nervous wreck, though. I nearly texted the producer, “I can’t do this anymore,” I said. Every turn I went, I was prompted to inquire about it. Because it’s too much, I’ll have to stay inside.

Vogue claims that in the end, she made the decision to ignore any texts from her friends and family before revealing her status as a contestant.

She continued, “Anyone whose messages I’ve ignored or Instagrams I’ve ignored, I’m sorry, it’s better I don’t respond because I’m not confirmed yet; they said I might be a latecomer.”

Even Tom, best known for his stint on Celebs Go Dating, seemed to avoid fuelling rumours about his time on the show. Vogue revealed it led to an awkward encounter between them before they jetted off to Australia.

She said, “I bumped into Tom Read Wilson, who was supposed to be bringing me in as a latecomer.” When I ran into him again, he said, “See you on Sunday Tom,” and I nodded off happily.

Vogue, who is wed to former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, admitted to being afraid to enter the camp because she had grown too comfortable with life.

I enjoy getting eight hours of sleep, eating well, relaxing, and never getting out of my comfort zone. Then, when I turned 40, I began to worry about absurd things.

“I didn’t want to be this person,” he said. You can’t afford to do this because it is such a significant life experience.

I’m 40, so I think it’s pretty cool to do I’m a Celebrity.

Josie, who was on her cruise and spent time visiting the paradise islands of Antigua, St. Lucia, and Grenada, captioned the photos, “A beautiful day at sea, we have just landed in Barbados for our next on land adventure.” The rest of my life would be spent on this ship. It’s so exciting to cruise across the Caribbean and discover something new.

She also shared photos of herself snorkeling in the ocean in a tiny bikini that revealed her toned midriff. Josie insists she has slimmed down without any medical assistance despite the fact that an increasing number of celebrities are using weight-loss jabs or going under the knife.

Earlier this year, hitting back at claims she may have undergone weight loss surgery, she posted on Instagram, “I didn’t get a gastric bypass; I got off my big a**e, moved more, ate less and educated myself on what I was stuffing into my body.”

The actress, who has a seven-year-old son Reggie with her former partner, real estate developer Terry Bond, has battled weight for a long time. When she released Josie Gibson’s 30 Second Slim and Josie Gibson’s 21 Day Fat Burn, she dropped six dress sizes and went from a size 20 to a size 8-10 in 2013. And she made a second change to her diet after giving birth to Reggie, cutting refined sugar out of her diet.

The actress, who underwent a tummy tuck in 2016 to remove 6 lbs of excess skin, claimed having a motherhood helped her adjust her priorities and stop being so focused on her weight.

She said, “I put on about 4.5st while I was pregnant.” Instead of losing weight and hating my body, I realized there were more important things in life to focus on.

Then name Liam Gallagher almost became synonymous with a rock and roll lifestyle over the years, especially at the height of his fame. And so when Oasis’ reunion tour was announced, many believed old habits would eventually resurface.

But it now looks as though the 53 year old singer has turned a huge corner as he has now revealed that he is giving up alcohol for good. Liam, his brother Noel Gallagher and the rest of Oasis played their final gig in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week. And during their hugely anticipated tour, he had given up alcohol and cigarettes in a bid to protect his voice.

The band reportedly had a few beers to celebrate the final performance, but he soon admitted he wasn’t feeling it. He wrote, “I had a few beers, wasn’t feeling it, I’m back on the righteous path free from temptation,” when he appeared on X.

And many people congratulated him on his lifestyle and health-change. One fan asked him if he missed his previous vices, and the singer responded that he needed to “sort his life out” because he already knew how desperate fans were to see the band perform. He claimed, “Oasis saved my life.” I should have sort my nappa]head out, I suppose. I am aware of how important this is to society, so I needed to make sacrifices by snorting Gary baldies and smoking.

He ended his message by saying, “there the rules MCFC,” which was a nod to Manchester City, his former football team. Liam responded, “Yeah, I miss talking absolute b***ocks when I’m bladdered,” when another follower inquired if he missed the “occasional Guinness.”

On the heels of their 41-country tour, Liam and Noel were reportedly on track to earn an eye-watering $ 400 million. Fans were excited to see the brothers back on stage once more when it was announced that the band were coming back together after their notorious fight 16 years ago, which had split the group.

Following their successful tour, there has since been rumors about the band’s future. However, Liam made a quick claim that he had no control over Oasis’ future.

Following rumors that the brothers were thinking about hosting a residency at Knebworth next year, in addition to other shows at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium,

When the crowd at Wembley Stadium recited “see you next year” in September as they wrapped up their show with the timeless Champagne Supernova, Liam has been more than careful to not reveal too much too soon.

He then joked that he’d had his wrist slapped over his comment. And this came after a statement was announced at the House of Lords by Baroness Sharon Taylor of Stevenage. She had said Oasis would play five nights at the Hertfordshire venue. But in a cha with the BBC she quickly recanted her statement. She said: “I was speaking hypothetically following speculation that they would play Knebworth again as they did in August 1996. I understand the band have not confirmed this.”

The 75 year old business mogul posted an image of a framed picture of his beloved wife surrounded by countless lit candles. Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “Thank you so much to everyone who has been in touch and shown so much love for Joan and our family over the past few days.”

He added: “It means the world to us. We are also incredibly touched to see what the King of Bhutan, the monks and the people of Bhutan have done for Joan in the main monastery. So beautiful and kind.” He then continued saying: “I know Joan would hope this brings comfort to anyone reading this who has lost someone close to them.”

What a sweet gesture, a third person said. Thank you all so much. Additionally, a fourth author wrote, “That is an incredible gesture.”

The father of two, who had been married to Joan for 50 years, announced last week that his wife, who was 80 years old, had tragically passed away.

I was moved to a room directly across the corridor from her, he continued, “in the way that life occasionally surprises you.” We laughed as a group about how common it was for us to end up together, like teenagers who were delighted to find each other again.

We had a lovely lunch that day, he continued. She was exhibiting strength and was gaining strength. She gave me a radiant smile that made my face sparkle from the moment I first saw her, a look that had changed my life for the better half. She disappeared suddenly, quickly, and painlessly. And thankfully, I was right there for her. Knowing that we were together is great comfort to us all.

He ended his heartfelt message by saying, “Joan was my everything; the shining star that our family’s universe has always orbited.” That light has just taken on a new appearance, not gone. It will help us advance. And always, we’ll have her with us.

Richard claimed that he and his children Holly and Sam were working hard to “smile through the tears and concentrate on all the positive things that Joan brought into our world” while he was grieving.

“It’s a lot to deal with having a baby that young.” Both characters are quite flighty. At the Pride of Britain Awards, Freddy and Holly both looked happy as he sweetly placed his hand on Holly’s bump, just weeks before the split claims started to surface.

Freddy also spoke about becoming a father, revealing he ‘always knew’ he’d be a young dad. “I always knew I was going to be a young dad,” Freddy told Closer. “It was always going to come at some point. I’ve been silly in the past. I’m surprised it didn’t come earlier, but I’m happy.”

Jamie Cullen, the influential couple’s husband, tragically passed away at the age of 33 just one year after their union.

After his cancer diagnosis last year, the distraught 32-year-old said she was “broken” by her partner’s passing. “My gorgeous husband has taken from us,” he said. She proclaimed, “The light of my life.”

She shared a heartbreaking video of the couple in happier times on Instagram, writing, “The unimaginable has happened. Our worst nightmare We have taken our beautiful husband away.

The source of my life’s light. Jamie, you adored and loved me the most, and I had the best of both worlds. I will always be with you, not just right now. For me, this video captures our unwavering affection, joy, and love. I’m broken. “

According to RSVP, Niamh shared the news about her husband Jamie’s cancer diagnosis just a few weeks ago. One year after the influencer and her long-time partner tied the knot, Jamie fell terribly ill on day three of their wedding.

He had a cancerous tumor removed two weeks before Christmas. One year after their wedding, Niamh revealed what the couple has been through on Instagram in tribute to her husband.

What was supposed to be a minimon in Rome ended up being ten days in the hospital, she wrote. We went home, where Jamle and I exchanged scans and discussions about the coming steps.

“Jamie had major surgery just two weeks before Christmas, where a cancerous tumor was discovered.

Our country was resilient in the face of adversity, but we stayed strong. Jamie bravely received ten chemotherapy rounds. Nothing could have saved us for what came after his 10th session, despite the ups and downs that came along with it. Just hours after receiving chemotherapy, he was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he developed pneumonia that turned into sepsis. It was actually bad and frightening. He was taken to the hospital once more with intolerable pain shortly afterward. The cancer had returned, devastating news to us.

“I know my husband is a fighter, but my world feels broken and my blood is still cold.” We’ll keep fighting.”
