2026 is shaping up to be a great year for Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews.

Following a stint on I’m A Celebrity, Vogue’s TV career is going from strength to strength, while Spencer’s drinks business CleanCo is enjoying sustained success as he continues to raise much-needed funds for various charities through his endurance challenges.

And, if that wasn’t enough, the couple are in the process of renovating their forever home in London, to raise their children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto – in.

The family also love spending time in Vogue’s native Howth and, as exciting as their careers are, everything they do is for their kids.

Here, RSVP catches up with Vogue to chat about life at home, what’s in the pipeline for work, reality television and b locking out the noise from clickbait headlines.

You recently bought a new family home in London, how are the renovations going?

We’ve just moved into our rental in London and we hope to start work on the new house this month. I think it’ll be an 18 month project. We are desperate to get in there. The rental is grand, but we’re all squashed in a little bit because we’ve so much stuff. This is the part I love, but I’m kind of nervous because Spenny’s getting really quite involved in the renovation process. I thought he might have lost interest in it by now, but he hasn’t [laughs]. It’s going to be quite collaborative, that’s going to take up a lot of the year. We’re renting close enough to it so we’ll be able to keep an eye on it. Hopefully it’s our forever home.

Congratulations on your new sofa collection with EZ Living Furniture, tell us all about it.

I’m addicted to interiors. I started out doing construction and quality surveying in college. I didn’t always love being on a freezing cold building site, but I loved anything to do with interiors. When you’re at home, you want to be in a cosy and comfortable space and sofas to me are one of the most important things. I’ve shopped at EZ Living for a long time so it was really great to work with the team. We came up with key pieces everyone will hopefully love. You’re not buying a sofa to get one next year – you want to have it at home for a long time. I wanted to give customers loads of options and there is something for everyone. I have three kids and a dog and they are quite durable – that was something I wanted as well, that they would wipe easily. I kind of gave up on not having certain furniture because I have kids. I want nice aesthetically pleasing furniture now, not when I’m 60 and they’ve left the house. The Howth sofa is my favourite.

Between your tanning business, working on ITV’s Lorraine, renovating a home and now your new EZ Living collection, 2026 seems to be all go for you.

It’s a really good year. People ask how I fit everything in, but I have certain things I want to focus on each year and right now I’m focusing a lot on my sofa collection and Bare by Vogue. Working on Lorraine is great too, but it’s only on TV for half of the year so I have some other things in the pipeline I’m going to be working on. It’s going to be a fun year.

Are your children beginning to notice mummy and daddy are on the TV and people know who they are?

I don’t think so. Gigi will come into my room and go over to my mic and start pretending she’s on a podcast. I don’t think they think our jobs are any different or more interesting than anyone else’s, so not yet. When we were watching Gladiators at Christmas I was trying to get them to watch me on it but they didn’t care! [laughs]

Your home in Howth is absolutely fabulous. Are renovations on that complete?

That’s fully done. Until I think of something else to do! That’s what I love about interiors, you can easily switch things up.

Can you see yourself settling in Howth?

I’d love to think I’d spend more time in Ireland. For now, I love living in London. I feel really lucky that we have the option of two places, and it’s so easy to fly back home.

Has Spencer’s Irish improved?

No, it’s shocking!

Would you be interested in presenting a Room to Improve style show given your love of TV and interiors?

I did a show on Channel 4 which comes out this year. It basically helps people who have been done over by their builders who have spent all their money and have no budget left. We try to help them finish their build. That was so fun to film. I did another show on Channel 4 with Wayfair, talking through people’s interiors style. Anything to do with interiors, I’d love to do more of. I love watching those shows, I watch Grand Designs all the time.

Is it important to you to do as much work here in Ireland as in the UK?

Definitely. Any excuse I get to come home, I will. With brands I’m working with, I will always ask how I can get people in Ireland to buy it as well without dealing with import charges. I love being in Ireland and having a reason to come home and work. It’s just so calming and relaxing.

Do the kids prefer life in Howth or London?

Theodore loves being in Ireland, because he can go to his cousin’s house for a sleepover. My brother lives in a big housing estate and he will not stop going on about how they are allowed out on the green and to play on their own. Gigi loves it as well. I think they prefer the freedom in Ireland, but there’s just so much for them to do in London. When it’s not term time in school we’re usually back in Howth, so they kind of associate it with camps, hanging out with friends and playdates. Coming back home is really important because I want them to build a really good friend base, so when they come back they have their same group of friends.

Your podcast with Joanne McNally, My Therapist Ghosted Me is now five years old. Are you delighted by how popular it still is?

Joanne and I are best friends and it’s so nice we’re able to do something like that together and how we can still do it when she’s on the road or when I’m away working. It works really well for us. We’re constantly sending each other stuff in a group chat and it’s like, “Don’t tell me what happened, save it for the pod!”. It’s changed our friendship dynamic. I love doing it.

Do you censor yourself on it? Sometimes what you say is taken out of context and turned into clickbait headlines .

I don’t. There’s no point. I mean, I do listen back to all the edits and I’ll listen back with my manager. Joanne’s manager will listen. She can’t, because she can’t bear listening back to herself! So we do a little pass on it, but pretty much everything stays in. They’re going to write about something anyway so, oh well, if they do they do.

Is that easier to ignore the longer you’re in the game?

Yeah. I used to have Google alerts, I sound like a weirdo! But I turned them off, so I don’t pay attention to any of that now.

Have you noticed more fans and followers since taking part in I’m A Celebrity?

So many more people come up to me that have watched it. It’s such a great show and it was really fun to be a part of. I think they’ve only had 300 people ever on it, so to be a part of that is amazing. I never thought I’d do it, so I’m actually so glad I got the opportunity. I made such great friends on it too, who I’m still in touch with.

Do you think you would’ve gotten further if Irish people could vote?

I don’t think so. The way it’s filmed, you don’t know how much screen time you’re getting. So no, I don’t think it would’ve made any difference.

Are you aware of the cameras when you’re in there?

It’s in the middle of a jungle, but it is also a set. When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, lights will come on and you might hear someone whisper, “Are you okay?”. But you do forget about the cameras. The producers are really nice, if something is said that someone doesn’t really want aired, you can go to them and say, “Listen, that was meant to be a really private thing” and they’re really nice with things like that. It’s 24 hours a day, so I think I had a few resting bitch face shots – I had a really nice time, it’s just that I was filmed for 24 hours! It’s a great experience, I never thought about food so much in my life. It’s all I could think about and talk about. I’m not good at not eating. That was the hardest part.

Would you like to see Joanne give it a go?

I don’t know if Joanne would go for the jungle! I mean, it would be brilliant viewing but I think she’d pull a Gemma Collins on it and leave. I don’t know if she’d absolutely love it, because she really likes her home comforts. I’d love to see Joanne on Celebrity Traitors though. I’d say she would be vicious.

Celebrity Traitors is so popular, would you give it a go yourself?

I wish! I’m not going to do any of those shows for a little while, I feel like between Gladiators and I’m a Celebrity, I’ll have nothing left to do! Everybody would love to do it because it’s such a great show. The Irish one is amazing too, it’s such a great format. But I’ve done a lot of those kinds of shows now, so not in 2026. When the BBC asked me to do Gladiators I couldn’t say no – I mean it’s Gladiators. I won it too, which was so unexpected. I was dead after that. I couldn’t walk properly for like a week after – that’s when I really knew I was 40! [laughs]
