Irish presenter Vogue Williams joined the I’m A Celebrity camp on Tuesday’s episode as a latecomer, alongside Celebs Go Dating favourite Tom Read Wilson and Kerry Katona, the ex-wife of her former husband Brian McFadden, has slammed the star in her latest OK! column.
Expressing her true feelings about Vogue amid her jungle stint, former Atomic Kitten star Kerry said she thought she’d fare well amid the highs and lows of jungle life, saying, “So, my ex-husband Brian McFadden’s ex-wife Vogue Williams has gone into the jungle.”
Revealing how she thinks Vogue will get on Down Under, she continued, “How funny is that?! I do think she’ll do well. But I don’t know her personally.”
But recalling their relationship when Westlife singer Brian was with Vogue – who is now married to former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, she said pointedly, “I remember her waving at me from the car when Brian picked up the kids, she never made any particular effort to come and say hi to me – which I think is important as a stepmum.”
She added, “I never ‘officially’ met Vogue. But good luck to her. I’m not bothered if she talks about Brian round the campfire – we were together twenty years ago, it’s old news. It’s great to see Tom Read Wilson in camp, he’s the sweetest kindest soul, I love him.”
Vogue was with Brian, who married new love Danielle Parker in July, from September 2, 2012 until their divorce was finalised in 2017, and the couple had no children together, Mirror UK reports.

The Dublin TV star and former model previously revealed that after her first marriage failed, she found being divorced mortifying.
She confessed in the interview: “I had wanted to be married with kids at 30, not divorced and single. I felt: well, that’s ruined my whole life. That’s it. I’m never going to meet anyone. I’m never going to have kids.”
Vogue did go onto have kids, however, and now shares her brood Theodore, Gigi and Otti, with Spencer, previously admitting her jungle stint would be the longest she’d have been away from them, and she was worried about how much she’d miss them.
Back in 2020, Kerry had stern words for Brian’s second wife in her OK! column, defending the Irish singer after Vogue hit the headlines when she said that thinking about her marriage to Brian made her ‘sick in my mouth’

In her column at the time, Kerry wrote: “I have children with the man so I’d never slag him off like that – and her saying that did make me feel a bit sad for my girls [daughters Molly and Lily-Sue].
She went on: “The truth is, I get where Vogue’s coming from – none of us are ever proud of our exes, but she shouldn’t diss him. If Vogue hadn’t met Brian, no one would know who she is today.
“She wouldn’t be a celeb, she wouldn’t have met her now-husband Spencer Matthews and she wouldn’t be making those comments.
