has made it clear she's not about to give up on stirring the pot. "There's no way I'm finished doing all the embarrassing stuff," the Irish model, podcaster, and media whizz declared on her new podcast.

"I've just turned 39 and I have so much more embarrassing s*** to give." She believes in embracing life's quirks, asserting: "You just continue on and it's about being able to look back and laugh at it and share it with other people, so others aren't as embarrassed of their embarrassing moments."

Vogue, 39, who is a proud mum to Gigi, four, and sons Theodore, six, and two year old Otto with other-half Spencer Matthews, ex-star of Made In Chelsea, has earned her stripes as a podcast comedy queen.

Shows like 'Spencer and Vogue', which features the couple playfully squabbling over married life, and 'My Therapist Ghosted Me', where she teams up with sitcom queen Joanne McNally crowned 'champion' at the British Podcast Awards 2023 and bagging the Spotlight Award at the 2023 Irish Podcast Awards have audiences in stitches.

The interview series 'Never Live It Down' is Williams' latest venture, pulling in celebrities to spill the beans about their most mortifying moments. "I really wanted people to have something to listen to that's going to cheer them up," says Williams, intent on delivering belly laughs with "with people who are really funny, and conversations where they're getting asked questions they don't always get asked."

Now, Vogue has opened up about some of her most embarrassing moments, and getting divorced so young is one of them. Vogue and former Westlife member Brian married in Italy in 2012, before separating in 2015 and finalising their divorce in 2017, when Vogue was 32-years-old.

Reflecting on her personal life, Vogue, who had a brief marriage with the Westlife star in her 20s, said: "I got married and divorced really young and I found that painfully embarrassing, because it was just like such an epic failure and it was so public.

"I thought, 'Oh god, this is painfully embarrassing' and now I look back and I'm like, do you know what, no it's not! It was a learning curve, but again, no one died, who cares?"

Vogue finds comfort in being able to reflect on even that chapter of her life without feeling embarrassed, adding: "It's nice to be able to look back and have that feeling about even that situation, and I just can't imagine anything would embarrass me so much now."

As Williams has matured, she's learned to go easier on herself and worry less about others' opinions. Recounting a touching moment with her son, the star shared: "My son Theodore said to me the other day, 'I don't want to grow up, I don't want to be your age'. And I was like: 'You know what Theodore, I never thought I'd want to be this age either, but it is the best age to be because you know exactly what you want to do, you're going to feel really comfortable, you're going to be so happy'."

She warmly explained to her young son: "I was just trying to explain to him how it's a great thing to grow up and to just be comfortable with yourself."
