Bikini-clad Vogue Williams playfully uses shirtless husband Spencer Matthews to plug her tanning range in hilarious video
Vogue Williams playfully enlisted her husband Spencer Matthews to plug her tanning range in a hilarious video posted on Instagram on Thursday. The Irish presenter, 39, showed off her incredible figure in a black and white bikini while shirtless Spencer, 37, donned a pair of blue swim shorts. Filming on the beach in a sun-soaked location, Vogue welcomed Spencer to her followers as he posed like a doll. She said to the camera: 'OK, so today we have our model, Spencer Matthews, and we're going to be using the liquid body illuminator because he's not illuminated hunnies. 'Thank goodness the model doesn't talk. Little illuminator here...,' before Spencer jumped out of character. 'Oh god, oh god, we'll do the chest, oh yeah. Look at that shimmer. Look at this man, who is tensing for his life,' Vogue said. She continued: 'Now I know I can't talk as I got any on currently,' before Spencer started tensing more. Vogue quipped: 'No we don't need any more tensing, you're going to fall apart. Maybe a bit on the tip of the nose... golden goddess.' She then joked: 'Bigger boobs than me.' Alongside the clip, she penned: 'Spenno wouldn't be caught dead without his @barleyvogue glow on the beach! That's some serious tensing going on.' The liquid body illuminator retails for £35 and is available online and in drugstores. The fun clip comes just days after Vogue cosied up to Spencer as they enjoyed a sun-soaked boat day on Sunday during a lavish Spanish getaway. The pair looked loved-up as they posed on the back of the boat with daughter Gigi, four. Vogue looked incredible in a yellow and blue lemon patterned bikini which she teamed with a matching wrap skirt. Meanwhile shirtless Spencer showed off his ripped physique in a pair of rainbow tiger print swimming shorts. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, were all smiles during their day out on the ocean before pulling funny faces with their little girl. Vogue then slipped into a white swimsuit and pink baseball cap as she hit the beach in another snap. She shielded from the sun behind a pair of stylish sunglasses and accessorised with a chunky gold necklace as she held their youngest child Otto, three. Another photo showed, Spencer holding Otto upside while posing for a picture. The couple are also parents to son Theodore, six. He wrote: 'Spain photodump'. It comes after Vogue revealed in May that she often feels 'mum guilt' when she is away from her children working. Speaking on The Life of Bryony podcast, she said that like many mums, she has put pressure on herself to 'do and be everything'. 'I suffer from mum guilt all the time', Vogue admitted. 'I feel guilty when I am working, and I feel guilty when I am with my kids. I worry when I spend more time with one of them and not the others. 'I spend a lot of time with Theodore and Gigi because I take them places – so I have to create time to spend with Otto on his own. 'I think as women we put so much pressure on ourselves to be able to do and be everything. Going out there and working should be great for your children to see. 'Whether you're a working mum or staying at home, I think you're always going to feel some level of guilt. When realistically, you can't do it all.' Speculating about why Vogue was putting so much pressure on herself as a parent, host Bryony Gordon, 45, admitted that her attitude may reflect the beliefs of a generation. She said: 'Women of our generation were brought up with that notion – that you can have it all. 'Even the question itself – you see these high-profile women always get asked that question. No one is asking that question of men. 'I don't want to have it all – I don't need to be everything to everyone.' 'Everyone just has to accept that sometimes, laundry is a nightmare, and we might forget to reply to an email or several.'

Prolific tout allowed to flog 300 tickets on StubHub for Lewis Capaldi's sold out return show
The ticket seller has been punting briefs for some of the biggest events of the past year TOUT OF ORDER Prolific tout allowed to flog 300 tickets on StubHub for Lewis Capaldi's sold out return show Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SERIAL ticket tout was allowed to flog hundreds of tickets for Lewis Capaldi's sold out shows. The Scottish singing sensation, 28, is set to perform a host of comeback arena tour. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Ticket touts are targeting Lewis Capaldi's comeback shows Credit: Alamy 3 A prolific ticket tout was able to punt tickets on StubHub Credit: Alamy He will be touring around the UK as he makes his sensational return to the music scene. But shameless ticket touts are out to take advantage of fans desperate to see their favourite stars by trying to sell them tickets at inflated prices. One prolific tout was able to target the Someone You Loved singer's events on resale sites StubHub, reports The Guardian. A seller called TG Cyprus Event Services Ltd (TGCES) was flogging 306 tickets for his opening show in Sheffield on September 6 for up to £248 - more than triple the amount punters would pay from event organisers. The ticket seller has been punting briefs for some of the biggest events of the past year. They were advertising over 1,500 tickets for the epic Oasis reunion tour and seats at the Wimbledon final for a whopping £41,900-a-pop. Lisa Webb, a law expert at the consumer group Which?, blasted the reseller and called for ministers to take action against touts. She told the paper: 'This is yet another example of a broken ticketing industry that desperately needs fixing. 'Which? is calling on ministers to urgently put a stop to the touts and introduce a price cap to ensure that tickets can only be resold on secondary sites at the original price paid. 'Resale platforms must also be forced to verify that the seller owns a ticket before it can be listed on their site.' 'So many crying kids' as Scots Sabrina Carpenter fans refused entry to Hydro in 'fake' ticket chaos We told how Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to slap a 10 per cent cap on resale prices. A spokesperson for StubHub said: 'We enforce strict measures to protect consumers. 'Any ticket listings found not to be compliant with our requirements are removed.' The official ticket retailer for Capaldi's shows, Ticketmaster, also backed action against ticket touts. A spokesperson said: 'Ticketmaster has capped resale prices at face value since 2018. We fully support the government's plans for an industry-wide cap that would remove the incentive for touts to exploit fans and prevent them from paying inflated prices on unauthorised sites. 'We also urge the government to take further action by cracking down on bots and banning speculative ticket sales.'

Bachelor star Nick Viall reveals wife Natalie Joy has suffered third devastating miscarriage
He sat down on his own and hosted the podcast solo as he revealed the sad news Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BACHELOR star Nick Viall has revealed the heartbreaking news of how his wife Natalie Joy suffered a third devastating miscarriage this year. Nick gained fame through his appearances on The Bachelorette and as The Bachelor himself, with him meeting his wife through Instagram years later. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Nick Viall revealed on The Viall Files podcast this week that his wife suffered a third miscarriage 5 Nick is married to Natalie Joy Credit: Getty 5 The pair began dating in 2020 Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 They are parents to a daughter, River Rose, who is one year old Credit: Instagram/ Nickviall He married his wife Natalie in April 2024 after four years of dating, with them going on to welcome a child just months before tying the knot. The 44-year-old reality star has now revealed his wife endured her third pregnancy loss this year. He made the heartbreaking revelation in the latest episode of his podcast, The Viall Files. Natalie, 26, who usually sits beside her husband when the podcast is being filmed, was absent from this episode. Opening his podcast, Nick addressed Natalie's unusual absence, saying, "As you can see, Natalie is not with us. "There's no really easy way to talk about this..." He then got candid with his listeners as he revealed the heartbreaking news. Nick opened up and said, "Sadly, Natalie experienced another miscarriage. "It is her third this year, our third this year... "There's no really good way to say it, it f**king sucks." Tensions heat up on Bachelor in Paradise as relationship tests are officially underway Nick continued, "She's obviously at home resting, healing, both physically and emotionally." The couple are parents to their one-year-old daughter River Rose, who was born two months before they got married. Natalie first suffered a miscarriage in January of this year before enduring a second pregnancy loss just two months later. Nick explained to his listeners, "When it happens the first time, the doctors and everyone kind of acknowledge that, while terrible, this is that something that can happen. "And everyone's just... don't freak out, there's nothing wrong, it sadly can be a part of this process." Nick went on, "And then it happened the second time, you know, obviously we have a lot of amazing blessings in our life, first and foremost being River, minus like some morning sickness and things like that, we were very lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy... "Really no complications, which was such an amazing blessing. "Despite what's going on right now with us, our doctor keeps reminding us that that is the best sign of our future ability to grow our family." He then spoke of how the couple now feel "uneasy". "But right now obviously there's a little bit of uneasiness," he said candidly. "It's far less normal to have two and three back to back. "Now we're kind of in that very scary process of running tests and finding out more about ourselves, and it's like this weird thing of like you want them to find something, but you don't want them to find something. "Because if they find something, you don't know what that means. We're in this kind of very uncharted territory of fact finding. Which sucks," he said. Nick also said, "I really just wanted to be transparent with you guys 'cause I know she wasn't there yesterday, people started to notice, and we're already getting messages with like a lot of concern. "So overall, Natalie is doing OK physically and healing and she's OK in that respect and emotionally, we're currently dealing with that."
