Vogue Williams Braves the ‘I’m a Celeb’ Jungle Despite Previous Doubts About Leaving Her Comfort Zone
Vogue Williams will make her highly anticipated debut in the Australian jungle tonight as a contestant on “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” This appearance comes just days after the reality show began airing, with speculation surrounding her participation for weeks. Joining her is actor Tom Read Wilson.
Taking on the Challenge
Following her recent 40th birthday, Williams expressed her desire to step outside her comfort zone. Throughout her life, she has preferred a relaxed lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of sleep and enjoyable meals. However, the milestone birthday motivated her to embrace new experiences.
“I always thought I wouldn’t do it because I’ve gotten too comfortable,” Williams remarked. “Now, I think it will be pretty cool to do I’m A Celebrity… ”
Concerns About Family
Despite her excitement, Williams is worried about being away from her three children—two sons, aged seven and three, and a four-year-old daughter. She expressed her struggle with missing her kids, noting it’s the longest she’s been away from them.
Facing Phobias
Williams admitted to having various phobias and anxiety about insects and the show’s challenges. “I have a level of fear around most things,” she stated. “It’s good to face them.” Williams has previously tested her limits on “Bear Grylls: Mission Survive,” but believes this experience will be more demanding due to her responsibilities at home.
A Family Legacy
She is not the first in her family to compete on the show. Her husband, Spencer Matthews, participated in 2015 but withdrew after a few days. He is supportive of her new adventure, indicating that he is “really happy” for her. With a “big Irish family” helping with childcare, Williams is optimistic about managing her time away.
Preparing for Camp Life
In preparation for her stay in the jungle, she plans to maintain personal hygiene standards, expressing her intent to shower in camp. Williams recognizes the cultural significance of her predecessors, specifically referencing Myleene Klass and her iconic white bikini moment.
Cast and Earnings
Williams will join a diverse cast of celebrities, including Martin Kemp, Jack Osbourne, and British rapper Aitch. Her participation in “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” has been speculated to earn her up to €500,000.
Tune in to watch Vogue Williams as she faces new challenges on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media One, airing nightly at 9 PM.
