Spencer Matthews has paid tribute to his wife Vogue Williams after it was officially revealed she will be joining this year’s I’m A Celeb line up.
At the end of Wednesday’s action-packed episode, Ant and Dec revealed the final two campmates Vogue and Tom Read Wilson are on their way to the jungle.
And taking to Instagram Spencer gushed over his ‘extraordinary wife’ as he described her as ‘fearless’ and ‘gorgeous’, ‘a phenomenal wife and a perfect mother.’
It comes after the Daily Mail revealed that Spencer won’t be flying to Australia for an iconic bridge moment with Vogue as he is currently continuing his mission to complete seven full Ironman triathlons on seven continents in just 21 days.
Praising Vogue on social media he penned: ‘Delighted that I no longer need to sidestep this rumour!! It’s true, she’s in!!
‘Soon, the world gets to see what I’ve know for nearly 9 years – my wife is absolutely extraordinary.

‘Vogue isn’t just fearless and gorgeous on TV – she’s like that in life. What you see is what you get. She throws herself into opportunities with a rare mix of warmth, humour, grit and heart, and I’ve never met anyone who uplifts people quite the way she does.’
He continued: ‘She is loved by all and for good reason. She’s my best friend, a phenomenal wife and a perfect mother.
‘I’m very proud of her for taking on I’m A Celeb. She’ll be stepping outside her comfort zone, and that takes courage and if anyone can light up that jungle, it’s her.
‘To my amazing wife – good luck, my love. Be brilliant, as you always are. The kids and I are behind you every step of the way.’
And while Vogue will no longer have access to her phone as she heads into the jungle, her account commented on the post with a series of red love hearts.
On Monday the Daily Mail revealed Vogue had touched down at Brisbane Airport, but Spencer wasn’t with her.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 37, is currently flying from Arizona to Cape Town, South Africa, for his third race in his gruelling running challenge, which aims to secure him a Guinness World Record.
The couple’s time apart also means missing their young children, Theodore, seven, Gigi, five, and Otto, three, who will remain in London while their famous parents embark on their long-haul adventures.

Spencer, who last year completed 30 marathons in 30 days in the desert, won’t even be able to watch Vogue take on Bush Tucker Trials as she navigates the jungle’s challenges and she won’t know if he completes his ‘Project Seven.’
A source revealed that the timing is ‘unfortunate’ but unavoidable, with the pair’s busy schedules clashing and neither commitment able to be moved.
They explained: ‘The timing isn’t ideal at all, but sometimes these things happen, and Vogue and Spencer’s diaries just clash.
‘Of course, Spencer would want nothing more than to support Vogue in Australia and be there waiting for her when she leaves the jungle but both committed to their own projects, and unfortunately, the schedules overlap.
‘There’s a small chance Spencer could finish his triathlon challenge ahead of schedule, but it’s unlikely he would then fly to Australia.
‘They’ll both be missing their children, who will stay in London, continue attending school, and no doubt support their parents from afar – catching Vogue on TV whenever they can.’
