The couple, who have been married for the last eight years and share three children, previously co-presented the Spencer & Vogue podcast until last year. With Williams' new memoir Big Mouth out, the model told of her Made in Chelsea star husband's previous drinking, which she is glad is in the past.

Despite assuming the role of a ladies man and a drinker, the Dubliner said he was both kind and fun. In an interview with The Irish Times, she told that her husband had 'red flags hanging off him', which included being fond of the drink. Her memoir tells of a tipping point where she told him that they wouldn't be able to continue their relationship if his drinking carried on in the same way. She credited his transition from that time, saying she much prefers him now that he is not drinking and that he has grown up and matured over the years. Last year, he finished a gruelling 30 marathons in 30 days in the desert as well as returning to his home city of London, to complete its world-famous marathon. She also downplayed any rumours of divorce, saying that speculation was rife after they discontinued their podcast, but that it was months in the making. The-mother-of-three, who opened up on the death of her father in 2010 which brought intense grief and the breakdown of several long-term relationships, said she feels really fortunate that she has found someone that she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Known for her openness in her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me with comedian Joanne McNally, the book also speaks about a miscarriage she had after the birth of her first son, Theodore. She spoke of the callous nature of the miscarriage, which was confirmed in a clinic in London. The doctor announced the loss of her pregnancy without any compassion, but she conceded that it was perhaps more commonplace for them there. On her love of books, both reading and writing, the former model has hinted that she is ruminating over three book ideas she plans to bring to a publisher. The clothing line owner also said she plans to do more radio, as she enjoys covering for Ryan Tubridy on Virgin Radio. More TV is also on the cards in the future and she is in the midst of filming a home improvement programme called Renovation Rescue.

The couple share three children — Theodore, Gigi and Otto — and co-presented their own podcast, Spencer & Vogue until Spencer took a step back earlier in the year. Spencer's retirement from the podcast led to much speculation that his marriage was on the rocks, with Vogue issuing a statement in March saying: 'It's disappointing to see this narrative being pushed almost daily when it's absolutely not true and much more importantly I don't want my children hearing these lies in the playground. 'We're very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform night make it stop.'
