Television presenter and model Vogue Williams has become the third celebrity to be eliminated from this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The 40-year-old was voted out of the jungle on Monday night after finding herself in the bottom two alongside fellow model Kelly Brook.
Jungle Exit and Family Life
Williams, who entered the camp as a surprise late arrival alongside Tom Read Wilson six days after the initial group, said her goodbyes before sitting down for her exit interview with hosts Ant and Dec. The mother-of-three, who shares children Theodore, seven, Gigi, five, and Otto, two, with her husband Spencer Matthews, was greeted off the bridge by her agent, Louisa McDonald.
Her husband of seven years was notably absent from Australia. Spencer Matthews is currently in Brazil completing his sixth consecutive Iron Man triathlon as part of an extraordinary challenge to complete seven Iron Mans across seven continents. His final race is scheduled for Antarctica next week.
The couple's young children have remained at home in London under the care of Williams's mother, Sandra. Explaining the decision not to fly them out, Vogue stated: ‘My kids are very young and they're in school. I will have to deal with the fallout of very little children flying that long for two days, so I've asked for Spencer not to bring them out.' She added, ‘Whether he changes his mind, I don't know. Also, Spencer might not be there because he's doing his project Seven in Seven.’
A Touching Message from Home
During Sunday night's episode, campmates were treated to emotional letters from loved ones. Williams received a heartfelt note from her husband, Spencer Matthews. The letter read: ‘The kids and I are so unbelievably proud of you. They are happy, healthy and looking forward to you being home. Watching you take on The Jungle with courage, humour and heart fills us with admiration.’
Matthews continued, writing from the perspective of his own gruelling challenge: ‘At the time of writing this, I’m about to head into the waters in Rio to start the sixth race and whenever things get hard on this challenge I immediately think of you and how incredible our reunion is going to be. I couldn’t love you more and am so proud of the woman you are.’
Looking Ahead After the Jungle
Williams's departure marks the end of her jungle journey, which began with her late entry two weeks ago. Her exit interview with Ant and Dec delved into her experiences in camp and her thoughts on returning to her family. With Matthews set to complete his final Iron Man race imminently, the family is poised for a reunion after their respective endurance tests, one in the Australian jungle and the other across the world's most extreme landscapes.
The show continues without her, as the remaining celebrities face more trials and public votes in the quest to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
