Best known as Vogue’s sister, the Dubliner is making history as part of the Irish show’s first all-female partnership. Here, she talks about who she thinks is her biggest competition, trying and failing to emigrate to Australia and not coming out to her father before his death

In the late months of last year, podcaster Amber Wilson had two golden secrets to keep under wraps. The first was that her sister Vogue Williams was about to head to Brisbane, Australia, to appear on ITV’s long-running series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The other was that she had signed up to throw on sequins and Lycra and take part in RTÉ’s upcoming series of Dancing with the Stars.
“I’m not great at keeping secrets so it was really hard. I had to keep the I’m A Celeb secret and I was like, ‘Oh, they throw her name in the pot every year. No, she’s not doing it,’” she says.
