'My Body Has Changed For The Better!'

Vogue Williams tells H&F how she’s combining motherhood with her passion for fitness

- Joanna Ebsworth

A lot can change in two years. Just ask Vogue Williams. When H&F last spoke to the model, DJ and reality TV star in 2017, the at-the-time-single fitness fanatic and keen adventurer was still recovering after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligaments during training for controversial Channel 4 TV show, The Jump. Fast forward to now, and Vogue is feeling in the best shape of her life. She is happily married to fellow The Jump contestant and Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews and is a proud mum to their 11-month-old son, Theodore. But don’t be fooled into thinking family life has forced the new Mrs Matthews to slow down. On the contrary, she’s never been busier. When we catch up with Vogue, she’s just completed four months of gruelling training to compete in her first horse race as a debut jockey, riding in charity race The Magnolia Cup at Goodwood, in aid of women’s health charity Wellbeing of Women. She’s also filming the second series of E4 show, Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too. Vogue’s the first to acknowledge how much her life has altered. ‘I know! It’s crazy, right?’ she says. ‘But I’ve never been happier!’ So how does the new mum juggle all her commitments? Read on to find out…

Q HOW ARE YOU COMBINING YOUR PASSION FOR FITNESS WITH BEING A NEW PARENT?

‘I think everything just changes a little bit. A few months ago, I started training with PT Dalton Wong to get in shape for a shoot, and when I told him I’d been training five to six times a week, he said, “You can’t do that as a mother. You can’t be tired. You need to be eating properly and training less”. He convinced me to train four times a week and, since then, my body has changed for the better. I find training less is easier on my body, gets better results, and suits me now I have a baby.’
