Vogue Williams has reportedly signed up for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! ten years after husband Spencer Matthews was removed from camp three days into the 2015 contest
Spencer Matthews will not be able to fly to Australia to support wife Vogue Williams during her time on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!, it is reported.
The TV personality, 37, is instead in Cape Town, South Africa, where he is gearing up for his third full Ironman triathlon, part of a challenge of seven in seven continents in just 21 days. This would secure Spencer, who was in Made in Chelsea for four years, a Guinness World Record.
The timing, though, is so unfortunate that Spencer won’t even be able to watch Vogue, 40, take on Bush Tucker Trials as she navigates the jungle’s challenges and she won’t know if he completes his “Project Seven”. A source said it was extremely unlikely the couple could avoid the diary clash, as Spencer has just finished his second triathlon — taken in Arizona — and must complete the set within the 21-day deadline.
And Vogue, meanwhile, has been tipped as “one of the most glam signings” I’m a Celebrity has had in years. A source said: “It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it.”

Spencer himself was in the jungle — for a mere three days in 2015 until he was booted out for taking steroids and failing to tell producers beforehand. In an interview since, he said “vanity” was the reason for his misdemeanour.
Now he can’t even get there to support his wife of seven years. Vogue, the Irish presenter and model, faces the creepy crawlies in the Australian jungle as one of the show’s late arrivals.
A source told the Daily Mail: “The timing isn’t ideal at all, but sometimes these things happen, and Vogue and Spencer’s diaries just clash. Of course, Spencer would want nothing more than to support Vogue in Australia and be there waiting for her when she leaves the jungle but both committed to their own projects, and unfortunately, the schedules overlap.
“They’ll both be missing their children, who will stay in London, continue attending school, and no doubt support their parents from afar – catching Vogue on TV whenever they can.”

Spencer’s latest extreme challenge has seen him embark on a global mission to complete seven triathlons, each involving swimming, cycling and running, across seven continents in just 21 days.
The father of three, originally from Grantham, Lincolnshire, has already ticked off Europe and Arizona, and is now flying to Cape Town for race number three, all while documenting the journey on his podcast, Untapped.
And in the summer, the TV personality completed 30 desert marathons in 30 days, earning a Guinness World Record, a feat he now hopes to replicate with his triathlon mission.
