Vogue Williams addresses personal struggle and admits 'last two weeks weren't good'

Vogue Williams has candidly admitted that the past fortnight "weren't good" as she shared her personal battle with anxiety. The 39-year-old telly star has been open about her struggles with anxiety.

Vogue often finding herself "catastrophising" and dealing with panic attacks. Her anxiety has led to sleepless nights.

The mum-of-three has now become "scared of her health", frequently opting out of alcohol and wearing two fitness rings to monitor her sleep pattern. She acknowledges that her journey with anxiety has its ups and downs.

Speaking on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Vogue revealed: "This week is a good week, the last two weeks weren't good weeks and I think, what I do is, that's why I'm not going to drink for a while because that really gets it for me."

She added: "And I feel like if I train, and people think I'm insane because I don't want to go on holidays, not train, drink loads, eat rubbish, and come home feeling like c**p. So, I'll go away and I'll train and people think that kind of weird but it regulates me and makes me feel better, it's really good for anxiety I find."

Vogue also mentioned: "I have medication as well, if I'm having a really bad time I'll take medication as well and there's no problem with that either. I love having a little backup of it, especially if I'm hungover as well."

Vogue reveals she also turned to a therapist for her anxiety struggles, whilst taking prescribed beta-blockers to help "calm her down" during difficult moments.

She explained: "I feel like with anxiety, you find a different way to manage it and it can only be managed, it will always come back and go away. For me, I wanted to do therapy, which I do kind of irregularly now, but I was struggling to sleep properly and then if I wasn't sleeping properly I was more anxious the next day.

"I couldn't really get to the point where I was even able to do therapy because I'd be going around clenching my fist and being anxious then I got beta-blockers off my doctor and that allowed me to calm down a little bit and think about what was making me anxious."

Vogue disclosed that her anxiety is frequently sparked by "life disturbances". She remembered a recent incident whilst attempting to book tickets for a holiday to Turkey, but when the payment "didn't go through" she found herself believing it was a "bad omen".

She admits it's only after she has "come through it" that she can make sense of what's occurring. Vogue, who shot to stardom on Irish television, wed former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews in 2018.

The pair first met a year earlier whilst filming on Channel 4's The Jump. They now share three children - Theodore, Gigi and Otto - together.
