EXCLUSIVE: Vogue Williams Admits ‘Meltdown’ Led to Secret Hypnosis for I’m A Celebrity

Vogue Williams Opens Up About Secret Hypnosis to Conquer Fear of Cockroaches

Vogue Williams, the well-known television personality and former campmate on the hit show *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!*, has shared an exclusive insight into how she secretly underwent hypnosis to tackle her intense fear of cockroaches. The star candidly admitted that a recent meltdown triggered by spotting a cockroach in her ensuite bathroom in Spain was the tipping point that pushed her to seek help.

During this episode, Vogue refused to share a bedroom with her husband Spencer Matthews for three nights, highlighting the severity of her fear. Realizing that this phobia could jeopardize her performance on *I’m A Celebrity*, she decided to take action. “I thought this isn’t right, I’m going to need to try and do something here to not be so frightened of them,” Vogue confessed.

Hypnosis, a technique often used to help individuals overcome anxiety and phobias, was her chosen method. However, Vogue was cautious about revealing her true reason for the session. To keep the secret, she told the hypnotherapist she wanted help with “insects” rather than specifying cockroaches or mentioning the show. This discretion was crucial as she was sworn to secrecy about her participation in the jungle adventure.

Did Hypnosis Give Vogue a ‘Slight Edge’ in the Jungle?

Vogue admits that while hypnosis might not have been a complete cure—especially given the extreme conditions of the show where thousands of cockroaches were poured on her head—it did provide some benefit. “Did it work? I don’t know. Am I glad I did it? Yes…because maybe it gave me a slight edge,” she said.

Her performance in the jungle seemed to support this claim. Despite her fears, Vogue managed to win sweets for the camp during the Jungle Nursery trial, showing resilience and determination. This achievement was particularly impressive given the intense challenges and her ongoing battle with anxiety.

Emotional Struggles and Family Support During I’m A Celebrity

Beyond the fear of creepy crawlies, Vogue faced emotional hurdles while in the jungle. She revealed that bouts of anxiety were frequent and difficult to manage outside her usual comfort zone. “Your emotions are just so up and down…within an hour, you could have five different emotions. It’s the weirdest thing,” she explained.

Missing her husband Spencer, who was undertaking his own extraordinary challenge of completing seven Ironman triathlons on seven continents in 21 days, added to her emotional strain. The couple’s separation during their simultaneous challenges underscored their strength and love for each other. Vogue shared how much she relied on Spencer’s support and how the experience made her appreciate their bond even more.

Despite the distance, the couple stayed connected through letters and phone calls. Spencer even promised to fly to Australia to see Vogue after completing his grueling challenge, though she gently declined, preferring he spend time with their children instead.

Family Reactions and Life After the Jungle

While Vogue was braving the jungle’s trials, her children were avidly watching her on TV. She shared touching moments about her daughter Gigi’s reaction to seeing her scared of snakes, highlighting the emotional impact the show had on her family.

Vogue also joked about the aftermath of her time on the show, noting that her children would be thrilled to see her but would face stricter rules at home, such as no iPads or sweets. The eating challenges and even the less glamorous moments like vomiting on TV were surprisingly popular with her kids.

Conclusion

Vogue Williams’ candid revelations about her secret hypnosis session and emotional journey on *I’m A Celebrity* offer a compelling look at the challenges celebrities face behind the scenes. Her willingness to confront her fears and manage anxiety in such a public setting is inspiring.
