Vogue Williams has revealed she has been ‘threatened’ by former pals to sell stories about her.
The mum-of-three announced last week she is set to welcome her fourth child with husband Spencer Matthews and while most people are thrilled for the couple and their baby news, some are not always supportive.
The 40-year-old opened up about former pals trying to sell stories to the press about her and her family.

Speaking to Katherine Ryan on her podcast, What’s My Age Again?, she revealed: ‘No (to selling stories) but they have threatened to. I’m like ‘Guys, they’re not going to buy that sh*t’. I had a friend who verbally said (she would sell a story about me)… yeah I know…
‘I’m like ‘who do you think you’re going to sell it to?,’ she said in disbelief.
The Howth native also spoke about the fallout she had with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden when the pair were going through their divorce.
Vogue and Brian split in July 2015 after less than three years of marriage. Their divorce was finalised in 2017.

Opening up about her divorce, she said she ‘sometimes’ forgets she was ever married to the BoyzLife singer.
‘Getting divorce.. it was relatively easy enough because we didn’t have anything to split, not really and like he didn’t go after my apartment or anything like that because I owned it. It was easy enough. We fell out a bit over the dog but I got the dog in the end.’
Vogue also spoke about giving Spencer an ultimatum while she was pregnant with Theodore after she became concerned over his drinking habits.
‘I think when somebody has issues around drink and stuff like that, I always know that you can’t ask somebody to stop. You can’t force them to stop because they have to want to do it themselves.
‘Even my dad, he was very fond of the drink. I was always around that my whole life.

‘I remember I was pregnant with Theodore and things were kind of getting out of hand with Spenny and I just turned around to him and said ‘this isn’t really the life for me and if you want to keep doing this, that’s totally cool, but I’m not going to be around for it.’
‘So although it was kind of like an ultimatum, I wasn’t saying ‘you have to stop’, I was just saying ‘I don’t want this’.
‘And then I think he just took a step back. Even within himself, he felt like he was just not achieving the things that he did and if you look at hime six or seven or eight years ago whe we met, his life is so different.
‘But it’s a tough thing to do but I don’t think it is something you can ask someone to do. But I’m glad he did it.
‘But there is always room for improvement isn’t there,’ she added jokingly.
