Vogue Williams reveals she suffered ‘pregnancy loss’ twice
By Casey Cooper-Fiske, Press Association Senior Entertainment Reporter
Model and presenter Vogue Williams has revealed she has suffered from “pregnancy loss” twice.
The 40-year-old former Heart presenter said the first happened before the birth of daughter Gigi in 2020, and the second took place last year, while speaking on her What Does She Even Do? YouTube channel.
Williams and her husband, former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, announced she was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child on Thursday. The pair currently have three children in Gigi, Otto and Theodore.
She said: “Trigger warning, pregnancy loss, if anyone doesn’t want to watch, don’t.
“So it happened to me before I had Gigi, not just me, it happened to Spencer as well obviously, and it was so early on, like so, so early on, we hadn’t had any scans, we hadn’t anything like that, and I must have been maybe a month, if even and it was just one of those things.
“And it was awful but everything happened quite quickly after it as well, so I never really kind of thought about it much.
“It was really upsetting at the time but then I was pregnant quite quickly after.
“But it actually happened to me last year as well, and it was just, I was literally about to tell the kids… you could kind of start telling I was three months, I just didn’t go for an early scan. I just never even thought about it because I kind of didn’t want to make a fuss.”
Williams went on to say that she felt “quite sick” but “not as sick as I would usually feel during pregnancy”, before discovering that “basically the embryo hadn’t grown”.
She added: “Usually you just naturally get a miscarriage, but I didn’t, it just kept like it would have eventually happened, but it just didn’t at the time, and I was three months along, and (the doctor) was just like, I’m really sorry… it’s not really a pregnancy.”
She said that the incidents had caused her to be “nervous” about her current pregnancy, and added that she was “grateful that I feel so sick all the time because then I know it’s there”.
Williams said: “I wasn’t sure if we wanted to try again because I just felt like I really don’t want to have to go through that again.
“I’m glad we did, obviously, but now I just have this constant nervousness around hoping that everything is going to be all right.”
The Irish star announced her latest pregnancy with a picture of herself with Matthews, 37, pushing their stomachs together in beach attire, which showed her baby bump, on Instagram.
The couple were married in June 2018 after they met the previous year during filming for Channel 4 programme The Jump.
Williams was a late entry into last year’s edition of ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, alongside Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson, with the series eventually being won by YouTuber Angryginge.
She also won the celebrity version of Gladiators last year, beating boxing star Nicola Adams in the final.
