I hadn't really learned much about nutrition and thought Special K plus very little else would make me skinny." The mum-of-three reminisced on her dieting experience, adding: "I wish I knew then what I know now. "I genuinely thought eating nothing would make me lose weight and I was always hungry. It's sad to look back and think what a young girl who doesn't like her body will deny herself." The weight Vogue was losing. MOST READ IN THE IRISH SUN She said: "My mum then began to force me to sit down and eat my dinner, she wouldn't let me leave the table until I finished the food. "Eating food was the last thing I wanted to do, proper things like pasta and chips were everything I hated at the time." Vogue Williams shows off her wedding outfit Vogue explained that if she tried to unpack her disordered eating it all boiled down to her being "uncomfortable with her height".

Vogue Williams on how to avoid getting fake tan on sheets with simple hack
Our head of beauty catches up with Vogue Williams to talk all things fake tan... If there's one woman who knows a thing or two about fake tan, it's Vogue Williams. The mum-of-three launched her sunless tanning brand Bare By Vogue in 2019, and it's become something of a sensation. Even those who thought they could never convert to faux bronzing have found a must-have in Vogue's now-expansive tanning collection, largely thanks to her understanding of what consumers really want: a natural-looking glow that doesn't feel sticky, smell, transfer or stain sheets. When I caught up with her, Vogue was full of tips, tricks and candid stories from her tanning life, which is perfect for someone like me, who always seems to be on the brink of a fake tan disaster. And as it turns out, she's been in a similar boat herself. One disastrous bronzing experience (more on this in a mo) turned out to be the spark for her entire business. 'I wanted to create a tan that would fade naturally, that when you put it on you'd look like you'd been on a two-week holiday, and that was really moisturising on your skin," she tells me. Her biggest secret for avoiding orange streaks on your pillowcase– one of my main gripes with fake tan– is also surprisingly simple. 'Use the tanning water,' she says brightly. 'It is like magic. It goes on clear and then develops throughout the day. If I was putting it on, I could wear a white top straight away and it wouldn't come off at all. So it definitely won't go on your sheets.' A quick glance at her Bare by Vogue Clear Tan Water page on Boots tells me everything I need to know about it, with repeat buyers backing up the sheet-preserving claims. When it comes to tanning, timing, as it turns out, is everything. Particularly in the summer. While many of us have been put off applying tan at night during hot, sticky weather, Vogue has it down to a glow-enhancing science. 'I actually prefer to put it on in the morning. I usually wake up quite early, and because it develops quite quickly, in four or five hours, I'll pop it on and just go about my day. By the time it gets too hot, the tan will be done. You'll be cooked.' She mentions how she's also dabbled in the trend of using fake tan for subtle enhancements, after I ask her how she feels about contouring and creating freckles with mousses. 'You've just reminded me of the freckles,' she says. 'I used to do them all the time, and for some reason, I'd forgotten about it.' Her technique involves a tiny paintbrush and a spritz of tanning mist sprayed into the cap. 'I just use tiny bits of that and dab on little freckles.' For contouring, she leans on her Bare by Vogue Face Serum, £26, as a base, before reaching for a deeper shade to add dimension. 'If you're using a medium tan overall, contour with a dark. If you're using a dark, contour with an ultra dark. I'd probably use our tanning brush to blend it in.' When it comes to prepping for a wedding or major event, she goes all in. 'I'll even do some tan removal gel and take all the tan off,' she says. 'Sometimes I put it in my bath because it smells delicious and it really helps lift any leftover colour. Then I'll exfoliate with my glove, shave my legs, do all the bits and pop on my tan. Then I'm good to go.' Despite her expert routine now, Vogue admits her own wedding tan predated the birth of her brand. 'It was pre-Bare by Vogue. What would I have been wearing? I honestly don't know. I don't even remember the names of any other fake tans.' Ever the loyal founder there, Vogue! What she does remember is the moment everything changed. A product she once loved – Vogue is far too classy to say names, unfortunately – suddenly left her skin dry and flaky, a familiar tale for many a tanning devotee. 'It was probably my favourite tan at the time but it really dried my skin out and made me go scaly. Like lizard-y skin. And getting it off was so tough.' Bare by Vogue was designed to offer just the opposite of that. A tan that delivers glow without compromise. 'I'm really obsessed with safe tanning,' she says. 'I just want people to love their skin. You can still have that gorgeous holiday glow without damaging it.' I'll just be off to order the whole product catalogue, then.

Vogue Williams reveals she got so drunk on margaritas at Jack Maynard's lavish wedding that she can't remember a whole chunk of the night
Vogue Williams has revealed she got so drunk at social media star Jack Maynard 's opulent French wedding to a £440m heiress that she lost a chunk of her memory. The TV presenter and mother-of-three, 39, confessed she couldn't remember getting back to her hotel room after overindulging at the lavish nuptials of Jack and heiress Lily Mackie at the five-star Château Saint-Martin & Spa in Vence earlier this month. Vogue, who attended the star-studded society bash with husband Spencer Matthews, 36, and their two eldest children, Theo, five, and Gigi, three, made the candid admission on the latest episode of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me. 'It was the nicest wedding I've ever seen in my entire life,' she said. 'I got excited on the Friday because there was a margarita bar. I got excited, and the next day, I woke up and I remembered the last bit of the night but I definitely didn't remember getting into the hotel room.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Waking up next to husband Spencer, the former Made in Chelsea wild child who is now sober, Vogue admitted she felt a creeping sense of dread: 'I was looking at Spen and I was like [makes a despairing noise] - you know when you're quite nervous. 'And as I went up to the wedding party, lots of people went, 'How's the head?' And I was like, oh no…' Despite her boozy antics, she insisted she had redeemed herself the following day. 'I was an absolute saint on the Saturday though,' she added. 'What were they thinking, with a margarita bar? It brought them down because it brought me down!' The Irish media personality also joked that she loves the tequila-based cocktail so much she should launch her own line. 'I should bring out my own margarita mix,' she teased. 'But supposedly it's not the cool thing to do anymore – to have a drinks line.' Spencer, who has launched the low-and-no alcohol brand, CleanCo, might not approve of such a career move. While he has admitted to still having the occasional drink, the former reality TV star has publicly embraced a lifestyle that avoids booze almost entirely. The couple were among the high-profile guests invited to celebrate Jack's second wedding to Lily, niece of Pippa Middleton's husband - and Spencer's older brother - James Matthews. The couple were among the high-profile guests invited to celebrate Jack's second wedding to Lily, niece of Pippa Middleton's husband - and Spencer's older brother - James Matthews The pair had already tied the knot at Chelsea Town Hall in April, but threw an extravagant second ceremony in the South of France for friends and extended family on 16 May. Photos shared by Vogue on Instagram show her in an elegant silver midi-dress with a mock-neck detail and matching strappy heels, standing beside a tuxedo-clad Spencer. Their youngest son, Otto, two, was not pictured. She gushed at the time: 'This day last week at the most beautiful wedding we've ever been to… Congrats @lily_mackie @jack_maynard.' Jack, a social media star and the younger brother of singer Conor Maynard, wed Lily - whose businessman father is reportedly worth £440 million - in front of a well-heeled crowd that included influencers Caspar Lee and Josh Pieters, as well as Jack's siblings Conor and Anna. Vogue also revealed on the podcast that she and Spencer had once considered marrying at the same French venue before opting for a low-key registry ceremony in Scotland. 'Spenny and I, before we got married, we were doing our little registry office wedding in his parents' place in Scotland and then we were going to get married in this place in France,' she said. 'It's amazing. And I went, and I was like, thank God we didn't – we would have embarrassed ourselves.'
