Vogue Williams made a late entrance into the I’m A Celebrity camp in Tuesday’s episode, alongside Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson.
However, Kerry Katona, the former wife of Vogue’s ex-husband Brian McFadden, has taken a swipe at her in her latest OK! column.
Kerry, former Atomic Kitten singer, didn’t hold back her thoughts on Vogue joining the jungle, stating, “So, my ex-husband Brian McFadden’s ex-wife Vogue Williams has gone into the jungle.”
She went on to speculate about how Vogue might fare in the Australian wilderness, adding, “How funny is that? ! I do think she’ll do well. But I don’t know her personally.”

Reflecting on the time when Westlife star Brian was with Vogue – who is now wedded to former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, Kerry remarked, “I remember her waving at me from the car when Brian picked up the kids, she never made any particular effort to come and say hi to me – which I think is important as a stepmum.”
She continued, “I never ‘officially’ met Vogue. But good luck to her. I’m not bothered if she talks about Brian round the campfire – we were together twenty years ago, it’s old news. It’s great to see Tom Read Wilson in camp, he’s the sweetest kindest soul, I love him.”
Vogue was married to Brian, who tied the knot with his new flame Danielle Parker in July, from September 2012 until their divorce was finalised in 2017.

The Irish telly star and former model previously confessed that she found being divorced after her first marriage fell apart to be utterly embarrassing, reports the Mirror.
In the interview, she admitted: “I had wanted to be married with kids at 30, not divorced and single. I felt: well, that’s ruined my whole life. That’s it. I’m never going to meet anyone. I’m never going to have kids.”
Despite this, Vogue did eventually become a mum and now shares her little ones Theodore, Gigi and Otti, with Spencer, having previously confessed that her jungle stint would be the longest she’d been away from them and she was anxious about how much she’d miss them.

Back in 2020, Kerry didn’t mince words when addressing Brian’s second wife in her OK!column, defending the Irish singer after Vogue made headlines for saying that thinking about her marriage to Brian made her ‘sick in my mouth’.
In her column at the time, Kerry penned: “I have children with the man so I’d never slag him off like that – and her saying that did make me feel a bit sad for my girls [daughters Molly and Lily-Sue].”
She continued: “The truth is, I get where Vogue’s coming from – none of us are ever proud of our exes, but she shouldn’t diss him. If Vogue hadn’t met Brian, no one would know who she is today.
“She wouldn’t be a celeb, she wouldn’t have met her now-husband Spencer Matthews and she wouldn’t be making those comments. “.
