Vogue Williams has admitted her competitive husband Spencer Matthews loves to step up his fitness regime during her pregnancies.
The TV personality, 40, is expecting her fourth child with Spencer, 37, and the couple announced the happy news during the family’s holiday in St Barts last week.
For the announcement, the fitness-loving couple posed for a fun snap, with a shirtless Spencer playfully pushing out his stomach in solidarity with his wife.
During her first TV appearance since the announcement, This Morning hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deely joked about the snap, asking: ‘Is it Spencer who is pregnant’.
‘No! He is too obsessed with his looks,’ insisted Vogue. ‘I feel like he gets more ripped when I am pregnant just to spite me.’
Vogue added that she was at the stage of pregnancy ‘where I just feel great, I don’t feel like death anymore,’ before musing that her ‘glow’ is because ‘I haven’t drank in a long time! ‘

The mum of three to Theodore, seven, Gigi, five, and Otto, three, added that ‘the kids are so excited’.
‘We’ve never had that because they’ve always been so close in age, it’s always passed them by. Well, besides Otto who wants to get back in my tummy, he said!’
Vogue spoke about her pregnancy for the first time in a video posted on her YouTube channel on Sunday, telling her followers she felt like ‘her body had failed her’ when she suffered two miscarriages.
She said that while she and Spencer, who married in 2018, are excited to be welcoming a new addition to their family, the miscarriages have made her ‘nervous’ during her fourth pregnancy.
Vogue shared that her first miscarriage, which happened at around four weeks, was ‘really upsetting,’ but she and Spencer went on to welcome their daughter Gigi in 2020.
She said they suffered further heartache last year when she went for a 12-week scan after falling pregnant, only to be told it ‘wasn’t really a pregnancy’ as the embryo hadn’t grown.
Vogue said she was ‘really embarrassed’ and ‘upset’ by the second loss, and she admitted she felt like ‘her body had failed her.’
‘You could kind of start telling I was three months and 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 – stupid now!’ she explained.
‘I went to the 12 week scan on my own, I told quite a few people about it, like my parents, my brother, and my sister, and some people at work. And I just hadn’t told the kids.’

Vogue shared that when she visited the hospital for the 12-week scan, she immediately noted the concern from her doctor.
She explained: ‘And basically what had happened was, he had the pregnancy sack. I forget what the whole thing was called, but basically the embryo hadn’t grown, my body still thought it was pregnant.
‘And 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.
‘Obviously when I found out I was like ”I just don’t want to have to feel pregnant anymore” because it was awful feeling it and not being it, because I still had the symptoms.
‘I was just like, I just want to start again and just not have to deal with it.
‘We were really upset. I was really upset. Stupidly I felt embarrassed having to tell everybody, and it’s not an embarrassing thing but that was just an emotion I had.
‘I was really upset and then I felt like ”oh God I have to now tell everybody who I’ve told” and I just feel stupid, like my body has kind of failed me kind of thing.
Vogue then shared that her heartbreaking loss meant she had felt ‘nervous’ throughout her fourth pregnancy.
‘Spencer is too obsessed with his looks,’ insisted Vogue. ‘I feel like he gets more ripped when I am pregnant just to spite me,’ she told This Morning on Tuesday
She continued: ‘I wasn’t sure if I was going to say it now, but I’m going to be just, I feel like this this pregnancy now I’m just always going to be, I’m always nervous, and sometimes I’m grateful that I feel so sick all the time because then I know it’s there and it’s what it should be.
‘I just thought that I would tell that story and hopefully it helps other people who that happens to and there can be light at the end of the tunnel.’
‘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.
‘I have friends who have had very very late pregnancies go wrong like six months down the line. So it was three months and obviously it’s still heartbreaking for anyone. But I just feel lucky that we’re able to be here now and be pregnant again.
