Spencer Matthews has reacted to his 'courageous and fearless' wife Vogue Williams' early exit from I'm A Celebrity - which was branded an 'own goal'. 

The podcast host, 40, became the third star voted out of the jungle on Monday but husband Spencer Matthews was not in Oz to greet her. 

Vogue shares three children, Theodore, seven, Gigi, five, and Otto, two, with Made In Chelsea star Spencer. 

Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, Spencer said his wife was a 'positive and pragmatic' figure in the I'm A Celeb camp and he 'would have loved' to have met her on the bridge.

He wrote: 'Disappointed to hear that my gorgeous Vogue is out of I'm A Celeb but I'm so proud of the brave stint she did in there. 

'She showed heart, courage and fearlessness in challenges and, as always, was such a positive and pragmatic figure in camp! I would have loved nothing more than to have been there for her when she came out and am sending so much love from Antarctica. 

'On the positive side, we can now all FaceTime - I know she will have missed the kids like mad and I can't wait to hear her voice and for us to all be reunited next week. 

Vogue, who arrived six days after the rest of the campmates as a surprise late entry alongside Tom Read Wilson, got the boot after landing in the bottom two with fellow model Kelly Brook.

After hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed it was Vogue who had received the fewest viewer votes, she said her farewells before sitting down for her exit interview. 

The TV personality was met off the bridge by her agent, Louisa McDonald.

Her husband of seven years was unable to support the star in Australia because he is currently completing his sixth Iron Man in a row in Brazil before he heads to his final race in Antarctica.

When Vogue signed up for I'm A Celebrity the public were keen to see how she'd get on, with bookmakers giving her decent odds to be crowned Queen Of The Jungle before she'd even set foot in camp. 

There was also talk that her show appearance could finally lift the dark I'm A Celeb cloud hanging over the Matthews household - with Vogue's stint coming 10 years after Spencer was booted off the show for steroid use. 

However, within days of entering the camp as a late arrival, Vogue's popularity had panned, with Ladbrokes suddenly making her the least favourite to win, with odds of 200/1. 

Viewers took to X/Twitter to share their delight that she was going - although it was noted that the results may have been different for the Dublin native if the vote was open in Ireland. 

It was Vogue's clunky comments and fallouts with her fellow campmates that seemed to land her out of public favour, however, PR guru and top showbiz agent Jonathan Shalit told Daily Mail that all isn't lost for the presenter. 

'Vogue Williams is a hugely talented broadcaster with a natural charm that audiences instinctively warm to,' Jonathan revealed. 

'The jungle is one of the toughest environments in television. People are exhausted, hungry, and emotional. It is very easy for one or two comments to land differently than intended.

'But none of that takes away from the fact she handled herself with honesty, humour, and heart.

'What viewers also saw is the strength of her partnership with Spencer. He has been her biggest supporter throughout, and together they’re one of the most compelling and relatable couples on British TV.

'A short run in the jungle doesn’t dent Vogue’s trajectory at all. If anything, it reminds people why she’s so engaging: she’s real. 

'With the profile boost from I’m A Celeb and the continued success of her projects with Spencer, she will come out of this even stronger.'

Upon her exit, Vogue admitted that while she was delighted to be leaving after struggling with the lack of food, she would miss her fellow celebs. 

She also discussed simmering tensions within camp after viewers watched another cooking row erupt during the latest episode. 

Vogue said: 'Ginge and Aitch are a bit resistant to their chores. I don’t really understand the whole cup-gate. I just turned into what I’m like at home.'

Before branding Kelly a 'snake' after being shown footage of the model, AngryGinge and Aitch stealing treats from Deals on Wheels challenge. 

She later threw her support behind Ruby Wax, 72, for the win and claimed the comedian 'had it in the bag' to be crowned Queen of The Jungle. 

Taking to X fans were viewers convinced that Vogue had had the chop after her numerous clashes with 'fan favourites' AngryGinge and Aitch. 

'Vogue was bound to leave': 'The fact Vogue is gone cuz she called out Ginge for being lazy even tho yesterday Ruby and Ginge was talking about Vogue behind her back': Notice how Vogue didn't say she didn't dislike Aitch & Ginge? Think there's a dislike going on there'.
