Vogue Williams knew she was making a mistake marrying Brian McFadden on wedding morning
Vogue Williams has said she knew she was making a mistake marrying Brian McFadden on the morning of her wedding day.
The Dubliner tied the knot to the former Westlife singer in Florence in Italy in 2012. They announced their split three years later.
Writing in her new autobiography, Big Mouth, Williams said that McFadden wasn't "marriage material" despite him being "good fun to be around" the majority of the time. "The morning of the wedding I felt very stressed and so anxious because deep down I knew I had made a mistake," she explained. "After the wedding I tried to make things work."
Williams added: "The relationship wasn't all terrible, we did have some great times too, and for the most part he was good fun to be around. But he was not husband material. It was me who called it in the end. I couldn't keep trying, it felt pointless... I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus but there are things that went on in our relationship that will never be forgiven."
It comes after Williams told Bryony Gordon on her The Life of Bryony podcast earlier this week that she felt like her "life was over" after divorcing the Westlife singer. "I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do," she said.
"Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that's why it feels exciting to move into your forties."
