IT’S NO secret that Vogue Williams is a fitness fanatic who has a love for fashion.

And now fans of the TV presenter can copy her sports style when she releases her new line of leisurewea­r.

The mother-of-three – who is married to former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews – is such a fan of sportswear brand New Dimensions Active that she approached them for a collaborat­ion.

She told the Irish Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s the first time I approached a brand to work with it, not the other way around, because I love the product.’

Vogue’s new collection features animal print, and the Dubliner flew home from London recently to do a photoshoot. She is pictured here wearing a very on-trend leopard print bralette and matching raincoat wrapped around her waist.

Vogue famously became an Instagram hit when she showcased her exercise routines during her three pregnancie­s.

She is a massive proponent of keeping fit, and the imminent arrival of her children – Theodore, four, Gigi, two, and Otto, six months – didn’t change that as she followed a strict workout plan for the duration of each pregnancy.

And with three children under the age of five, Vogue has maintained her fitness passion, so it’s no surprise she’s decided to join forces with the up and coming Irish brand.

She is also widely credited with influencin­g her husband to ditch his wild-boy partying ways for a healthy and holistic lifestyle. With her encouragem­ent, Spencer has ditched the drink, and has just filmed a documentar­y about his mission to Mount Everest in a bid to recover the body of his older brother, Michael, who died on the mountain in 1999.

Speaking about his trek to Everest, Spencer praised his wife for her unwavering support, despite him heading off on his mission just five days after Vogue had given birth to the couple’s third child Otto this summer.

He said: ‘Otto was five days old when I left for Everest for five weeks. I had nothing but support from Vogue.

‘She was so on board with it and so proud that we were doing it.

‘And she feels really close to Michael despite having never even met him.’

Speaking on his new podcast, Big Fish, Spencer detailed the indelible mark his brother’s death has had on his life saying: ‘I never really processed Mike’s death until just now.

‘He died in 1999, you know, 23 years ago. And he was 22, the youngest Brit to reach the summit. And I was 10.

‘So, to me, losing him was not something I fully understood.

‘Mike was my superhero figure in my life. I just assumed he’d come back, I didn’t believe that he was dead for a period of time.’

Although the Matthews family were never able to recover Michael’s body, there is a guide who believes they know his final resting place.

The soon to be released Disney+ film, called Finding Michael, will tell the story of their search.
