Vogue Williams admits TV execs were 'straight on' after Brian McFadden divorce (2025)

Vogue Williams has revealed that producers of the popular TV show Celebs Go Dating were quick to reach out to her after her marriage to Brian McFadden ended.

The 39-year-old television and radio personality met the Westlife singer in a Dublin nightclub in 2011, and they tied the knot in Florence, Italy, just a year later. However, their union was short-lived, and they split in 2015, with their divorce being finalized two years later.

Vogue previously revealed she was left "painfully embarrassed" by the divorce. She described the split as an "epic failure".

Previously, Vogue said: “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. 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? 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."

On her My Therapist Ghosted Me! podcast with sitcom queen Joanne McNally, Vogue said producers from Celebs Go Dating contacted her after the public split. Vogue made the revelation after suggesting Joanne should consider going on the show, reports Dublin Live.

“They offer a lot of money,” Vogue said. Before adding: “When my marriage broke up they were straight on.”

Comedian Joanne added: “I’m pretty sure they have slipped into the mails at one point. I’m pretty sure they were sniffing around.

“But no, that wouldn’t be for me now. It would have to be Married at First Sight or nothing.”

Following her breakup with Brian, 45, Vogue Williams found love again with former Made in Chelsea heartthrob Spencer Matthews. The sparks flew between them as they were lined up to compete on Channel 4's The Jump.

Their romance quickly took centre stage and led to a fairytale proposal in January 2018 when Spencer got down on one knee during a viewing of the Lion King in London. By June 2018, the couple exchanged vows amidst the splendour of the sprawling Glen Affric estate in Scotland, property of Spencer's aristocratic family.

Vogue and Spencer have since built a family, with six year old Theodore, four year old Gigi and two year old Otto rounding out their brood. Despite initially thinking she'd have overlooked Spencer on a dating platform, Vogue has confessed the couple are completely enamoured with each other.

Reflecting on their relationship, Vogue shared: "And I always say this, Spencer is obviously gorgeous, but he wouldn't have been my type when we met. And I would have swiped past him on a dating app."

She went on to elaborate: "And then we met, and we were mad about each other because we just loved each other's personalities. So, I think trying to meet somebody in real life, although it can be hard, can be a really amazing thing."
