Vogue Williams left the I’m A Celebrity jungle last night – but one familiar face who wasn’t waiting in the wings was her husband, Spencer Matthews.
The couple, who have been married for seven years and share three young children, are currently worlds apart. Instead of Spencer meeting Vogue on the bridge when she was voted out of camp, she was met by her agent Louisa McDonald.
So what’s keeping him away from Australia – and why wasn’t he cheering her on from the sidelines?
Vogue Williams takes on the I’m A Celebrity jungle
40-year-old Vogue is no stranger to reality TV. She competed on Bear Grylls’ Mission Survive in 2015, which she went on to win. Vogue was also a contestant in the 2017 series of The Jump on Channel 4, but was forced to pull out due to injury.
It was during this show she met future husband Spencer. They married in 2018 and share three children together – Theodore, seven, Gigi, five and three-year-old Otto.
However, last night (December 1), Vogue left the jungle, and Spencer was nowhere to be seen.

Spencer Matthews absent from Vogue Williams’ I’m A Celebrity bridge exit
Spencer Matthews knows the jungle all too well, having taken part in I’m A Celebrity back in 2015.
He too arrived as a latecomer on day three – only to bow out by day five. ITV initially cited medical grounds, but it later emerged he’d been using steroids for a charity boxing match and hadn’t disclosed it to producers.
Spencer later admitted it was a “serious error of judgment”.
However, a return trip to Australia to cheer Vogue on wasn’t on the cards for Spencer this year. And that’s because Spencer is in the middle of an extreme challenge of his own.
He’s attempting to complete seven full Ironman triathlons across seven continents in just 21 days. And he’s currently in Antarctica – the last stop on the gruelling challenge.
Last night, when Vogue exited the jungle, Spencer shared a heartfelt post in lieu of a bridge meet-up.
Spencer Matthews shares post for wife Vogue Williams
Sharing a picture of the pair smiling on a sun-soaked holiday, Spencer said: “Disappointed to hear that my gorgeous Vogue is out of I’m A Celeb but I’m so proud of the brave stint she did in there.
“She showed heart, courage and fearlessness in challenges and, as always, was such a positive and pragmatic figure in camp!”
Touching on his absence on the bridge, he then added: “I would have loved nothing more than to have been there for her when she came out and am sending so much love from Antarctica.
“On the positive side, we can now all FaceTime. I know she will have missed the kids like mad and I can’t wait to hear her voice and for us to all be reunited next week.”
