That’s sew you Vogue – star’s quick fix in IFTA bathrooms

THERE was one split too many in Vogue Williams’ Ifta gown this weekend. The TV presenter ended up stripped down to her underwear in the Iftas toilets while fellow TV presenter Zoe Salmon swiftly attempted to sew up a sudden rip.

Vogue posted a video of herself in her underwear on Snapchat, laughing as her friends tried to remedy the situation. With her hair and make-up still impeccable, Vogue maintained her glamorous appearance as well as her cool throughout the mishap, at the otherwise fun night out.

Directly facing the camera, the model’s lingerie-clad frame was clear for all to see – showcasing her enviably slender figure and flat abs even in the fleeting clip.

Vogue laughed at the situation with her fans, saying to the camera: ‘You know when your dress totally rips and you have to find your dream seam Zoe to sew your dress, while Andrea sits on the toilet and watches...’

And the next day, ambitious Vogue, 31, flew to the UK where she was hosting the Bear Grylls Survival Race.

While most people may have been lying down at home nursing a hangover, Vogue had already departed Dublin and to host the adrenaline­fuelled event.

This is in stark contrast to just a few years ago in 2012 when she appeared on Australia’s Dancing With The Stars. The morning after she was eliminated, Vogue missed a dozen media interviews after waking late with a hangover and failing to honour her Seven Network promotiona­l contract.

Vogue’s career has been on the rise since she won the 2015 series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive. She went on to film a popular series for RTÉ called Wild Girls, which saw her interview women on death row and tackle the world of women’s fighting.

She has just completed filming her second series and the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal that she takes part in a female bodybuildi­ng competitio­n. In the series, Vogue is with a group of female bodybuilde­rs as they compete for the title. While she is already a gym enthusiast, she had to alter her training regime to enter the competitio­n. She then had to bare all for the judges and the cameras.

Vogue has previously spoken about her battle with body issues and selfdoubt. Speaking in an interview last year the model said that she suffers with self-esteem issues.

‘I see people’s bodies and think they’re amazing, but I realise I’m not going to look like that and this may not be the way my body is meant to be. As women, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves.

‘I understand that it’s hard seeing gorgeous girls on Instagram and wanting a body like theirs, but I think we need to be happier in our own bodies and understand that we’re gorgeous just the way we are.’

Vogue split from her husband Brian McFadden 15 months ago and has since vowed not to talk about her love life.

Instead the talented Howth native is focusing on her career which has taken off in the past year.

She has just signed with UK powerhouse Money managemnt UK who represent the likes of Caroline Flack and Nick Grimshaw. She is also being touted as a co-presenter of the upcoming Irish version of Dancing With The Stars on RTÉ alongside Big Brother winner Brian Dowling.
