Vogue Williams, a celebrity, sits down with the Mirror to reveal her hysterical past, including missing her husband Spencer and being hypnotized before the show.
Campmate Vogue Williams has opened up about getting secretly hypnotised to conquer her fear of cockroaches, admitting it gave her a “slight edge” in the jungle. The star revealed how she had a recent “meltdown” in Spain after spotting one in an ensuite bathroom, and refused to sleep with husband Spencer in their bedroom for three nights.
It was then she realised she needed to get some help ahead of I’m a Celebrity to try and conquer her fear. “I thought this isn’t right, I’m going to need to try and do something here to not be so frightened of them,” she says. “I actually haven’t really been that scared of them anymore.” Vogue says that she was particularly wary of the hypnotherapist guessing that she was going on I’m A Celebrity, as she was sworn to secrecy.
So I chose insects to replace the word because I was very careful. . She typically assists in overcoming obstacles, such as anxiety, according to Vogue. According to Vogue, the procedure might have been preferable to having “thousands of cockroaches poured on my head” because it would have been more appropriate to “see the odd cockroach on the ground.” But she does admit, “Did it work?” I’m not sure. Am I glad I did it? Yes… because it might have given me a little edge. ”

It appeared to work as despite the cockroaches, she won sweets for camp in the Jungle Nursery trial.Speaking after becoming the third celebrity to be voted out after Alex Scott and Eddie Kadi, 40-year-old Vogue also opened up about missing her husband Spencer. It comes as he was unable to make it to Australia as he had set himself the challenge of completing seven full Ironman triathlons on seven continents in just 21 days.
Vogue says it was hard to not know how he was doing, and if he was struggling or not. “It was a massive thing on my mind,” she admits. “ I didn’t know if he was getting through his challenge. It’s such a difficult thing.”When she received his letter from home, she learned he was on the sixth leg in Rio, and the thought crossed her mind that he could possibly soon finish up and see her. “I was like, ‘oh, maybe he’ll have time, because he was going to fly out here. I thought he might have done Antarctica, but he hasn’t done it yet, so he’s still over there now.”
After speaking with Spencer on the phone, he vowed to travel to Down Under to rejoin her later, but the journey involved four flights. “I was like, ‘no, you’re not flying to, like, four places to come and get a flight home with me. And I prefer that I see him when I return and that we go see them both. ”
The distance, and the fact they were both deep in separate challenges, ended up reminding her how strong they are together. “We knew we’d miss each other. I didn’t know how much I’d miss him, and I didn’t know how much I relied on his support and how much we love each other, and just how lucky we feel to just have each other,” Vogue says. “I think everyone finds that in there, as you’re missing everyone so much, and you feel I’m so lucky that I have that. I miss such a great group of family and friends. I just can’t wait to stick to him like glue once we get back.”But she knows life with Spencer will never be entirely quiet. “I’ll get back, and he’ll be like ‘so, I’m thinking about this challenge,’”she says.
While Vogue was battling bugs, she says the children were glued to the screen.Her and husband Spencer Matthews share son Theodore, six, daughter Gigi, four, and youngest son Otto, three.“I heard Gigi got really upset when she saw me with the snakes, because she saw me being really scared, because I was genuinely scared of them,” Vogue says. “They’ll be dying to see me. And I can’t wait to get home, although when I get home, they’ll be no iPads or sweets, so they’ll be raging.”
She makes fun of the fact that their house’s eating challenges are going awry. They adore vomiting on television, she admits, but it’s not likely to be the highlight. They will be absolutely thrilled because they were trying to use the restroom to watch me get sick before I went away because I had this vomiting bug. ”
