Vogue Williams' brutal one-word assessment of Spencer Matthews before they met
Vogue Williams had a blunt one-word assessment of husband Spencer Matthews before the pair met. Irish TV presenter Vogue, 39, met former Made in Chelsea man Spencer, 36, while filming Channel 4's The Jump in 2017.
Their relationship blossomed while on set and they soon began dating, eventually trying to knot in 2018 at the Glen Affric estate in Scotland. They now share children Theodore, Gigi, and Otto together.
Vogue, however, confessed to having a "preconceived idea" of Spencer. While he has since tackled extreme endurance challenges, like his astonishing 30 marathons over 30 days in Jordan's deserts, Spencer's life was much different during his early days.
He first rose to fame as a heavy-drinking party boy in Made in Chelsea. It prompted Vogue to decide she wouldn't be a fan of the reality star.
Speaking to The Sun, Vogue said: "I kind of met him with a preconceived idea, and I was like, 'I'm not going to like him' because I thought he was a sociopath."
"But after I met him, I loved his personality straight away ... he was so sound, but I was being really good at being single and I wanted to stay single, so I thought, 'He's going to be a really good friend'? That's the first thing I thought."
Even though it's all smooth sailing now, Vogue once shared that she would have given Spencer the digital cold shoulder on a dating app. On their podcast Vogue & Amber, alongside her sister Amber Wilson, Vogue chimed in advice for a fan navigating the tricky waters of online dating for true romance.
Vogue Williams shared her thoughts on dating apps, saying: "I totally get that, and I've got single friends and they feel the same. Although dating apps are obviously a great place to start, I've personally never used them, but I've had a go on other peoples."
She continued, "But you're just judging someone completely on the way they look. 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."
The love story between Vogue and Spencer Matthews has blossomed over the years, with the couple recently marking their seventh wedding anniversary. While they kept celebrations low-key this year, Vogue has grand plans for their tenth anniversary.
On her podcast 'My Therapist Ghosted Me', Vogue revealed to her friend Joanne McNally that she's planning a third wedding in 2028. This follows their second wedding, which was part of their reality TV series 'Vogue, Spencer and Wedding Two'.
She explained: "I have bad news. Spen and I, when we're 10 years married, in three years time, we are going to do a wedding. I know that we got married, but when we got married in Scotland and that wasn't meant to be our wedding, there were like 20 people there.
"Then we did the TV wedding, which wasn't a real wedding, because it just wasn't a real wedding, it was for TV. We actually want to do a wedding in three years' time when we're married for 10 years. No one will bloody believe it, imagine being married to someone for 10 years."

American TikTok having a cut off 'Irish noses'
Irish social media users are up in arms after a new trend has emerged online where Americans show off their Irish heritage. The trend sees TikTok users take to the app to show off their 'Irish nose.' Yep, you read that right. Obviously, there is no such thing as an 'Irish nose,' with those taking part in the trend facing some backlash. Irish social media users are up in arms after a new trend has emerged online where Americans show off their Irish heritage. Pic: Shutterstock One person shared a glimpse of her nose, revealing 'this is the nose of my mother, her sisters, my grandmother and many more hailed from Kilkenny.' A comment left under the post said: 'I saw this trend and I was like omg do I have an Irish nose bc [because] it's long and pointy, but then everyone under this has completely different noses. And the Irish say there's no such thing as an Irish nose.' The original poster admitted she was 'surprised at how negative some of the comments got.' @maniacmckee Growing up I wanted my sisters nose. It was cute and little and pointed with a little scoop along the bridge. She has our paternal grandmothers nose from the Swedish side of the family. But I'm so happy to have the nose of our mom, her sisters my maternal grandmother and many others that came from the Emerald Isle ☘️ #irishheritage #family ♬ original sound – meadhbhwalshmusic She explained: 'For me, this trend was about how lovely it is to see a certain facial feature be passed down the generations. Not that I am Irish but that I have ancestors from there starting with my maternal great grandmother and perhaps that's where this feature came from. 'Can't please everyone but I was coming from a good place.' @niamhoconnnor Irish nose???? 😭😭😭 ♬ original sound – meadhbhwalshmusic Content creator Niamh O'Connor was amongst those hitting out at the latest trend, writing: 'Dear America: There is no such thing as an Irish nose. You made it up. Love from Ireland.' Niamh's post received more than 40,000 likes from people in agreement with her with many taking to the comments venting their frustrations. One said: 'We only have big Irish heads.' Another added: 'Literally you cannot tell when someone is Irish apart from their accent.' A third added: 'It's the same with 'Irish hair' and 'Irish eyes,' they just love to put Irish onto anything.' Ironically, the song, Will Ye Go Lassie, that is accompanying the trend is more of a Scottish folk song, despite Cork musician Maedhbh Walsh singing her own version.
