I'm A Celebrity 2025: The moment Spencer Matthews gave away Vogue Williams' signing to the show
He tried - and failed - to deny his wife's appearance as a latecomerVogue Williams‘ husband Spencer Matthews accidentally gave away her I’m A Celebrity appearance last week.
The Irish model and broadcaster will be entering the jungle tomorrow night and has been trying to keep it under wraps.
But during a live TV appearance last week, Spencer very much gave the game away.
Spencer, who has three children with Vogue, appeared on Good Morning Britain to chat about his latest endurance race – an Ironman challenge.
But as the interview was wrapped up, Spencer was put on the spot about his wife going into I’m A Celebrity. Although he attempted to deny it, he didn’t do a very good job!
I’m A Celebrity: Vogue’s husband Spencer lets signing slip
Spencer appeared on the GMB sofa last week as ITV confirmed this year’s line-up. The newcomers had not yet been announced but Susanna Reid still grilled him about whispers Vogue was one of them.
Speaking about his ultra Ironman race, Susanna asked: “Is Vogue going to be able to be there to support you or is she going Down Under on her own epic mission in I’m A Celebrity?”
The former Made In Chelsea star repeatedly shifted around in his seat and laughed nervously. Grinning tellingly, he replied: “The line-up was announced yesterday, was it not?”
Susanna told him: “But there’s some late arrivals we hear!” Shrugging his shoulders, Spencer said: “Listen, you know more than me, as ITV.
“But no, she will be there on Thursday supporting me. She hopes to be at the finish line. And I think she’s taking the kids to Winter Wonderland beforehand.”
Susanna’s co-host, Richard Madeley, wagged his finger as he said: “I note there was no absolute denial.” Spencer laughed: “I know nothing about these things!”
The biggest giveaway was Spencer claiming to “know nothing”. Given that he and Vogue have three young children, coupled with the fact she will be on the other side of the world for three weeks, this is impossible.
Not many mums would keep this a secret from her kids’ other main caregiver…who also happens to be going abroad for an endurance challenge.
When was Spencer Matthews in I’m A Celebrity? Why did he quit?
Vogue is following in Spencer’s footsteps. But hopefully, her time in the jungle will be more successful than his.
Like his wife, Spencer was a late arrival to I’m A Celebrity. He made his entrance on the show’s third day in 2015. But by Day 5, he had quit.
At the time, ITV confirmed that Spencer had left “on medical grounds”. A brief statement read: “Spencer Matthews has left the jungle. We’re sorry to see him leave.”
It was later confirmed that Spencer had been secretly taking steroids. He had failed to tell producers about the pills he was taking before entering the show.
Spencer spoke out and admitted it was a “serious error of judgment”. The reality star said he had been using them to bulk up for a charity boxing match.
In a statement at the time, he added: “Shortly after I arrived in Australia I told the production team that I was taking a steroid-based medication that had begun some weeks ago. When I started taking this programme of pills it was in preparation for a charity boxing match which, ironically, never took place.
“Vanity, I suppose, had been the reason for wanting to bulk up a bit for the fight. I had intended to come off the pills gradually, but there was no time to do this before I reached the jungle.”

Why Spencer won’t fly to Australia
Spencer will be not returning to Australia to support Vogue in the jungle. This means he will not be on the bridge to greet her when she comes out.
Spencer is still in the midst of his Ironman Challenge. If successful, it will see him compete seven full Ironman triathlons on seven continents in just 21 days.
Vogue will be entering the jungle alongside Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson.
