Vogue Williams expects Spencer to propose for second time after 's**t' first proposal

Vogue Williams is expecting Spencer Matthews to propose for a second time after his awkward first proposal.

The couple first met when they took part in the Channel 4 show The Jump in 2017, and later confirmed their romance after weeks of speculation.

The former Made in Chelsea star got down on bended knee just one year after they began dating, but Spencer’s decision to surprise Vogue with a proposal fell flat.

During an interview with best friend Jamie Laing on their podcast 6 Degrees, the 33-year-old said he’s still embarrassed at the ‘s**t’ proposal, which took place after a performance of The Lion King in 2018.

He joked that it still haunts him to this day, as he recalled asking Vogue to marry him on the stage of the The Lyceum in London’s West End while being watched by some of the cast members.

“I took her to The Lyceum to see The Lion King because it's my favourite Disney film. Not hers – mine. I realised later, this is what I would want to happen to me and not her,” Spencer laughed.

“We went backstage and there was Simba, Mufasa, and Nala and Scar just kind of stood there,” he explained, as he told Jamie he knew instantly it wasn’t going to go well.

“And I was like, ‘Well this is going to be weird isn't it.’ I just kind of dropped to one knee in front of a pride of lions – not real lions, of course, this was the West End – and I proposed to her and I think she was a little bit uncomfortable,” he shared.

Vogue later discussed the details of their proposal during their podcast Spencer & Vogue, and admitted she would like Spencer to try and propose again because she thought his first attempt was selfish.

“I heard Spencer talking about his proposal on his Jamie podcast and I actually went in and felt p***ed off,” she confessed.

“I was like ‘You know what? That was s**t, that was a s**t proposal.’ That might be one of those things... I'd like another proposal that's not s**t and not all about you,” Vogue fired.

Spencer meekly agreed with his wife, and said the proposal has ‘haunted me for four years now’.

“I tried to do something nice... I didn't know that I'd have awkward Mufasa standing next to me,” he quipped.

She said she had fallen asleep while watching the film of The Lion King, and complained she didn’t even have her nails done when Spencer popped the question.

“It's actually a great stage show but like don't propose to someone there. Come on, think outside the box,” she laughed.

The couple wed in June 2018, and share two children together - Theodore, three, and daughter Gigi, one - and the Heart Radio presenter is expecting another child later this year.
