Vogue Williams had shared that she found her divorce from Westlife singer Brian McFadden ‘really embarrassing’ after they split back in 2017.
The Irish presenter, 40, reflected on their relationship in a candid chat with Jamie Laing on his Fantastic company podcast.
Vogue, who is now happily married to Spencer Matthews, said she found their split ‘humiliating’ after people around her ‘expected’ her and Brian to split.
She said: ‘It’s really embarrassing. It’s quite humbling because you know people have started speculating and people have started talking about it and you hear it, you know it’s true and you try not to.
“We also put out a really nasty statement that I don’t think is necessary.”
Vogue added that she didn’t want to feel embarrassed now that she’s older, but at the time she felt like a ‘failure’ because many people around her expected the divorce.
She continued: ‘I remember saying to my older brother Frederick “I’m getting married, we’re getting married here” and he was living in Australia at the time and he was like “Vogue, I just can’t come back from Australia but I’ll tell you what I’m going to the next one” and he did, he came to the next one.’
Vogue added: ‘I never harbor any real bad feelings, things happen because they happen, we weren’t right for each other.
‘I really think there’s no ex I wouldn’t say hello to. It’s just a different time in your life.
“I remember getting divorced and thinking, ‘This is just incredibly embarrassing’ and feeling what a huge failure.
‘Now I look back and think it wasn’t really that, I just cared too much about people’s opinions.’
Vogue met Brian in May 2011 and soon after she moved from Ireland to Oz to live with him while he worked as a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.
