Vogue Williams 'painfully embarrassed' by divorce from Brian McFadden

Vogue Williams has opened up about her 'painfully embarrassing' divorce from Westlife's Brian McFadden - but the Irish model and media star has vowed to keep the mortification coming.

Vogue Williams isn't ready to stop stirring the pot according to her recent declaration on her podcast: "There's no way I'm finished doing all the embarrassing stuff," announced the Irish model and podcast sensation. “I've just turned 39 and I have so much more embarrassing s*** to give."

She’s a believer in embracing life's mishaps, stating: "You just continue on and it's about being able to look back and laugh at it and share it with other people, so others aren't as embarrassed of their embarrassing moments."

The proud mother of Gigi, four, Theodore, six, and two year old Otto with husband Spencer Matthews, formerly of Made In Chelsea fame, Vogue has risen to fame in the comical podcasting realm. With hit shows like 'Spencer and Vogue', where she jovially bickers with Spencer about married life, and 'My Therapist Ghosted Me', created with comedy powerhouse Joanne McNally, which saw triumph at the British Podcast Awards 2023 and nabbed the Spotlight Award at the 2023 Irish Podcast Awards, she's got fans laughing heartily, reports the Mirror.

Her most recent undertaking, the interview series 'Never Live It Down', brings celebrities together to share their most cringe-inducing tales. “I really wanted people to have something to listen to that's going to cheer them up," Vogue expressed, aiming to provoke laughter with "with people who are really funny, and conversations where they're getting asked questions they don't always get asked."

Vogue has candidly spoken about her youthful marriage to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, describing it as one of her most mortifying experiences. Vogue, who tied the knot with McFadden in Italy in 2012 and parted ways in 2015 before finalising their divorce when she was 32 years old, reflected on her personal life: "I got married and divorced really young and I found that painfully embarrassing, because it was just like such an epic failure and it was so public."

She also expressed a change in perspective over time, saying: "I thought, 'Oh god, this is painfully embarrassing' and now I look back and I'm like, do you know what, no it's not! It was a learning curve, but again, no one died, who cares? " Now, finding comfort in self-reflection, Vogue adds: "It's nice to be able to look back and have that feeling about even that situation, and I just can't imagine anything would embarrass me so much now."

As she's grown older, Williams has learned to be more forgiving towards herself and less concerned about public perception.

Sharing a heartfelt incident, Vogue recounts how her son Theodore's apprehension about growing up led her to reassure him that adulthood is a positive and confident stage of life: "My son Theodore said to me the other day, 'I don't want to grow up, I don't want to be your age'. And I was like: 'You know what Theodore, I never thought I'd want to be this age either, but it is the best age to be because you know exactly what you want to do, you're going to feel really comfortable, you're going to be so happy'."
