Ireland’s Vogue Williams is set to enter the I’m A Celebrity camp on Thursday as a latecomer with Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson
Vogue Williams has already conquered the Christmas shopping, stocked up the cupboards and planned meals for the coming month.
However, the mother-of-three is now preparing to swap household management duties for navigating the challenges of jungle life.
The Irish TV personality, who celebrated her 40th birthday last month, will be making her entrance into the I’m a Celebrity camp on Thursday (November 20) as a late arrival alongside Celebs Go Dating favourite Tom Read Wilson.
She confesses she’s drawn to the prospect of adopting a strategic approach reminiscent of a popular BBC programme.
“I would not mind causing a bit of mischief, a bit like Traitors vibes,” she laughs. “I don’t want to annoy anyone, but I think I am very much willing to go along with the game.”, reports the Irish Mirror.
Back at their London residence, daily life with husband Spencer Matthews and their trio of young children runs like clockwork.

The pair are parents to six year old son Theodore, four year old daughter Gigi, and their youngest boy Otto, three, and it’s the prospect of being separated from them that concerns her more than any jungle challenge.
“My only real worry is missing the kids and missing Spencer and missing my family,” she said.
“I have done all my Christmas shopping. I have done our food shops for the next four weeks. I have organised everything down to a tee because I kind of do all that stuff at home, so I have got everything organised so I do not have to worry when I get back.”
Vogue needed to consider carefully how much information to share with the children after accepting the opportunity. “I had to be careful telling my kids, because they have a bigger mouth than me,” she laughed.
“I have ignored everybody who has been texting asking if it’s true? I am like, ‘ignore, ignore.'”.
“I showed the kids the last series to get them into it, and they absolutely loved it when people were having an absolute nightmare. So if I get thrown in with rats, that will be their dream.”
The star, who has amassed a massive fan base through her podcast work and radio presenting, admits the most peculiar aspect of being Down Under is suddenly not having to manage everyone’s daily routine from the second she opens her eyes.
“It is such a strange feeling, because obviously when you have kids, you have got this massive responsibility, and the first thing that you think of in the morning is them and all day it is about how you are going to organise everything that they need. And it is a really strange feeling not to have to do that. It is very relaxing.”
One of the reasons she agreed to take part in the popular ITV programme was reaching 40 and recognising how entrenched in her routines she had grown.
“I am too comfortable in life,” she said. “I sleep with four pillows in my bed just for me. I think you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone, particularly when I turned 40. I was getting kind of stuck in my ways a little bit. I like things a certain way. I mean, I like to walk around the park a certain way and everything.”
She revealed she was completely unaware of what lay ahead, which proved a challenging notion to accept given her controlling nature.
“It is going to be so weird, so different. I don’t even know what is happening at all. I do not know if I am going to be flung off a building, so for someone who loves control and to have a level of organisation around things, it is really weird for me to have all of that taken away.”
However, she acknowledged there was one surprising advantage: producers seizing her mobile phone.
“My phone got taken away yesterday, and even that, it has not really bothered me,” she revealed. “I have not watched the last two episodes of Selling Sunset but we will wait till I get back.”
She is preparing for the absence of luxuries to wreak havoc with her typically balanced temperament.
“You do not really know how you are going to be affected by things such as no sugar, or even salt. All those things will make it a little bit harder. I am quite a stable person emotionally, really. But I think going in there and having all that taken away, and then kind of not being with people you know, might be difficult.”
Regarding the home comforts she will yearn for most, she confessed: “Coffee in the morning, the four pillows, my really comfortable bed, a nice toilet that I do not have to share with anyone, my LED face mask, food, loads of food, I love eating,” she explained.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
