TV star Vogue Williams has candidly opened up about her previous marriage to Westlife's Brian McFadden, describing the end of their union as a public "failure."
The 39 year-old-mother of three, who is now happily married to Spencer Matthews from Made In Chelsea, had a grand wedding with Brian in 2012 at a castle in Florence, an event that was widely covered by Hello! magazine.
The couple's romance blossomed quickly during the summer of 2011, leading Vogue to make the bold move from Dublin to Australia to be with Brian. However, their relationship deteriorated, and they decided to part ways in 2017.

Reflecting on the dissolution of her marriage while in the limelight at just 26, Vogue shared her feelings in a recent interview. Speaking to The Times, she revealed her early doubts about the marriage: "Maybe not long after we got married. Probably just before. I knew that it probably wasn't the greatest of relationships, but I was very young.", reports the Mirror.
Vogue expressed the sense of "defeat" she experienced when her marriage ended, saying: "It's hard to admit defeat in any kind of relationship. And it was embarrassing. Because it was such a big failure - and very public."
She finalised her divorce from Brian at age 31, five years after their celebrated nuptials.

Vogue Williams candidly reflected on her past relationship trials, confessing: "I had wanted to be married with kids at 30, not divorced and single. I felt 'well, that's ruined my whole life. That's it. I'm never going to meet anyone. I'm never going to have kids'."
Post-divorce, Vogue took the necessary time to heal before re-entering the dating scene, eventually being linked romantically to Laurence Fox.
However, her romance with Fox was short-lived, and by 2017 she found a spark with Spencer Matthews during their stint on the extreme winter sports program The Jump.
Spencer Matthews, present for the interview, humorously recalled an early prediction of their relationship: "I joked with her on the ski lift on the very first day that we would get married."
He playfully disputed Vogue's claim that she didn't initially fancy him, "She says that she didn't fancy me for a while. My recollection is slightly different."
On her podcast, alongside her sister Amber as co-host, Vogue shared a quirky detail about her ex, Brian McFadden, relating to body ink: "He got the tattoo while we were fighting, so it was this big tattoo across his wrist."
Brian McFadden, once married to Kerry Katona, showcased his Batman wrist tattoo less than nine months after splitting with Vogue. He gleefully marked the reveal on social media with: "Guess my love batman is for life! ! New tattoo."
Brian later found love with a teacher named Danielle Parkinson in 2016, and the couple announced their engagement three years on. By 2020, Brian shared the joyous news that he and Danielle were expecting a baby.

Bella and Gigi Hadid's mum ends engagement after ex's secret daughter discovery
Yolanda Hadid has reportedly called time on her six year relationship with Joseph Jingoli after previously gushing over him and revealing they secretly got engaged in 2022 Gigi and Bella Hadid's mum has called off her engagement from long-term partner Joseph Jingoli. Yolanda Hadid, 61, and her now ex-fiance had been engaged for six years before deciding to end things. The decision comes after it was revealed her ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid, had secret fathered another daughter. It was revealed the supermodel siblings also had a 23-year-old half-sister and had been getting to know her over the last two years. The secret child, called Aydan, had been socialising with the family. Sisters Gigi, 30, and Bella, 28, went on to call her a "cherished," "unexpected" and "beautiful addition to our family". Gigi and Bella's parents, Yolanda and Mohamed had been married between 1994 and 2000. As well as their daughters, they also welcomed son Anwar, 25. Following their relationship, Yolanda tied the knot again in 2011. She married music producer David Foster, but their time was also cut short, with the pair going the separate ways in 2017. Despite he latest relationship ending, she is said to have remained friends with Joseph. An insider told People the duo "remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together". In 2020, she had gushed over the thought of tying the knot again. In a social media post marking their anniversary, she said at the time: "'All my life I prayed for someone like you!!" She went on: "Thank you for being such a bright light in my life, the calm in my storm and for being the most honorable man that I 2 year anniversary Joey Jingoli, I love and appreciate you." Last summer, Yalonda - who has appeared on shows such as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - confessed Joseph popped the question to her in 2022. After keeping the proposal under wraps, she finally admitted Joseph asked for her hand in marriage during a loved-up trip to Holland. The pair had met in 2017 when Yolanda moved to Pennsylvania. The proposal was let slip during an unexpected interview with Architectural Digest who referred to her now ex as her long-term "fiancé". She often featured her daughters Bella and Gigi in episodes of the Real Housewives and in an interview with Vogue, Bella revealed that she felt pressured to alter her appearance due to the early onset of fame and living in her sister's shadow. Bella, who transitioned from reality TV to modelling, confessed that she had a nose job when she was just 14 and now regrets the decision. The revelation led fans to criticised Yolanda, accusing her of failing as a parent.

Inside Oasis' setlist after iconic song is heard in rehearsals
It's not your imaaaaginaasheeeunnn – it's been revealed that one of Oasis' classic hits will make the setlist of their 2025 world tour. The Manchester rock group, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, announced a reunion tour 15 years after their acrimonious split in 2009. Starting in Cardiff in July, the Oasis Live 25 tour will conclude in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in November, with five sold-out Manchester dates penciled in for mid-July. With the big tour just a month away now, fans are on the hunt for any hints at the classic Oasis hits that might be included by Liam and Noel in the setlist. Oasis scored an impressive eight number one singles across their 15 years in the spotlight, with a total of 23 of their songs hitting the top 10 of the UK charts. Not to mention that Liam and Noel might use spots in the setlist to perform songs they wrote as part of side-projects Beady Eye and High Flying Birds respectively. This means that some big hits are unlikely to make the cut, leaving some fans disappointed – but one big hit that seems to have been included is the 1994 song Cigarettes & Alcohol. Famed for its interpolation of T-Rex's 1971 chart-topper Get It On (which itself was inspired by a Chuck Berry song) Cigarettes & Alcohol reached number seven in the UK in 1994. It was the final single from Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe, and eventually reached Platinum status in the UK in March 2020 after shifting 600,000 units. A source who was at one of the band's rehearsals told The Sun: 'Oasis have never sounded better. They were playing Cigarettes & Alcohol and Liam's vocals sounded really good. '[Liam's impressive vocals] were probably down to the two packets of Lockets cough sweets that he was sucking throughout the rehearsal.' The source added: 'You could hear Noel's lead guitar really well and he sounded so good too. To hear them playing live, and playing so loudly, was an incredible moment.' News about the setlist has come just days after it was claimed that Liam and Noel hadn't yet rehearsed together – reports that now appear to be untrue. Insiders claimed that the brothers were taking the same rumoured approach as Rolling Stones legends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who would often rehearse apart from each other. More Trending Mick and Keith had personal beef with one another after both rockers ended up being responsible for the break-up of each other's relationships. On top of the promising reports about Cigarettes & Alcohol, Liam confirmed that one Oasis song definitely being included in the setlist is What's the Story? album opener Hello. Rumours suggested that Hello would be cut because it featured lyrics written by former glam rock popstar and convicted sex offender Gary Glitter (real name Paul Gadd). But last month, Liam denied the rumours on social media, writing on X in response to a fan asking if they would omit the famous song: 'We'll be playing HELLO, trust me.' Got a story?

Fresh blow for Vogue and Spencer Matthews as they're forced to slash £1.3 MILLION off their posh South London flat
It comes after Vogue hit back at rumours about their marriage PRICE CUT Fresh blow for Vogue and Spencer Matthews as they're forced to slash £1.3 MILLION off their posh South London flat Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VOGUE Williams and Spencer Matthews have been forced to slash the price of their luxury South London flat by £1.3million. The TV star couple have been hit with the fresh blow after failing to sell the property in more than a year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Vogue and Spencer Matthews have cut the price of their London home again Credit: PA 8 The luxury property has already been on the market for more than a year Credit: Sotheby's 8 It has its own gym and concierge Credit: Savills 8 The couple want to move their family to Vogue's native Ireland Credit: Instagram Vogue and Spencer had first listed the apartment for £5.25million after deciding to say goodbye to the city for a new life in Dublin. But with it still on the market earlier this year, they dropped the asking price to £4.7million. The swish four-bedroom property, which has a concierge and private gym, is now listed on property website Rightmove for £3,950,000. The price reduction comes despite Vogue, 39, and 36-year-old Spencer's home having extensive features. There are two huge reception rooms, a private roof garden/terrace, a bar and in-house cinema/media room. The primary bedroom comes with an en-suite, with two more luxury bathrooms elsewhere in the property. Vogue and Spencer had first put their home on the market in early 2024 with the view to snapping up a bigger property in Ireland for their three children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto – to grow up in. Hailing from Ireland herself, Vogue has always had a house there and the couple also own a home in Jersey. During their reality TV show, Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too, Vogue didn't hide her desire to raise her family back on the green isle. She also told Mail Online in 2023 how she had put their Irish property up for sale as they had found their dream home in Howth, Dublin. Vogue Williams showcases major home updates Vogue said at the time: 'It's where I grew up, it's the only place I'd want to live in Dublin, it's by the sea, and when you're working all the time in London, it's nice to go back there. 'It's the kind of place that our family can just be in forever. "I suppose you'll always feel like that but it's such a beautiful house, it's just slightly small as our kids are getting bigger, and our family is kind of expanding." Vogue and Spencer's property plight comes after they were forced to deny repeated rumours that their marriage was in trouble. The couple tied the knot seven years ago and Vogue was left furious after the whispers failed to go away. Setting the record straight in March, she fumed: "It's with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up! "I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up." Vogue posted her fiery rant alongside a carousel of images showing herself and Spencer looking seriously loved up. She went on to insist that rumours of a marriage breakdown were "absolutely not true", adding: "More importantly I don't want my children hearing these lies in the playground." Vogue concluded: "We're not sure what the angle is or where it's coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean. "We're very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop." 8 Vogue and Spencer's four-bed apartment now has a price tag of £3,950,000 Credit: Savills 8 They are currently based in England with their three children Credit: Savills 8 The property is located in an exclusive part of south London Credit: Sotheby's 8 Spencer and Vogue recently hit back at split rumours Credit: Instagram
