I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Vogue Williams opened up about her time in the jungle, ahead of reuniting with her husband, Spencer Matthews
Vogue Williams said she’s already been spending the hefty salary she pocketed for her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. The 40-year-old joined the jungle as a late arrival alongside Celebs Go Dating favourite Tom Read Wilson, before becoming the third celebrity to be voted out.
For her time on the programme, the presenter is said to have bagged £100,000 – the same figure reportedly earned by this year’s champion Angry Ginge.
Chatting to Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on their Heart Radio Breakfast Show from Down Under on Monday, Vogue reflected on her jungle experience and offered her verdict on her fellow campmates.
During the conversation, she also made a playful comment about how she planned to spend her earnings.
When asked what she’d been doing since her exit, she responded: “Eating and drinking and then spending my entire fee on clothes over in Australia, I have bought an extra suitcase – treat yourself!”.
Quizzed about this year’s King of the Jungle, she remarked: “He is so funny and he’s such a nice, kind boy. I can’t imagine him ever being horrible about anyone, he’s just really sound.”
The 24-year-old Twitch streamer clinched victory with a reported 53 per cent of the final vote, beating Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty.
Discussing the finalists, Vogue continued: “I felt the same about Tom. Tom is this special human and he is just one in a million and he was such a great person.
“So, any of them to win would’ve been great. And Angry Ginge, I mean, I kind of felt like he had it in the bag from the start.”
According to The Sun, rapper Aitch was this year’s top earner with a reported £250,000 fee, while Eddie Kadi is thought to have received the smallest payment at £75,000.
Despite his high salary and being bookies’ favourite to be in the final however, Aitch found himself in fourth place.
Discussing his unexpected departure, Vogue said: “I was completely surprised [when] Ruby [Wax] went out and then I was so shocked when Aitch went out.
“It was like people just thought that other people were voting for him and then he just didn’t stay.
“But, I think it was nice because it mixed it up a little bit, because it was always like Aitch and Angry Ginge in the final and then when that happened it was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s anyone’s game now’, like that makes it more fun.”
Vogue is expected to return to the UK today, where she’ll be reunited with her husband Spencer Matthews and their three children.
Spencer was notably absent from greeting his wife at the iconic bridge exit after her jungle experience, as he’s currently attempting to complete seven full Ironman triathlons across seven continents in only 21 days.
Nevertheless, he posted an affectionate tribute to his wife on Instagram from Antarctica.
Alongside a photograph of the couple, he typed: “Disappointed to hear that my gorgeous Vogue is out of I’m A Celeb but I’m so proud of the brave stint she did in there.
“She showed heart, courage and fearlessness in challenges and, as always, was such a positive and pragmatic figure in camp!
“I would have loved nothing more than to have been there for her when she came out and am sending so much love from Antarctica.
