Vogue Williams' story about youth 'robbing' days and what made her stop stealing

Vogue Williams said she’s craving an Irish Chinese and chipper – admitting she spent a whole day crying recently, fearing she will never get back to Howth.

The Dubliner celebrated her 35th birthday last week with her loved ones in London but revealed she is counting down the days until she can return home.

The mum to two-month-old baby Gigi and two-year-old Theodore said: “We own a house in Ireland that I feel like we are never going to get back to, so I did have a
day of crying last week.

“Because I’m Irish and I very much miss going home.”

Opening up about her dreams of Ireland, she added: “I would love to go to Howth. I would go on a cliff walk, I would spend all my time with my family.

“I would get a chipper and get a chinese because the chinese and chippers at home are so much nicer.”

Speaking on her podcast, Spencer and Vogue, the radio and TV personality also recalled her “robbing” days in her youth.

She said: “The first time I ever stole anything, my sister Amber told me to steal it.

“It was a 10p Troll rubber and I remember the jacket and everything. I must have been six.

“We were going home and I had an overwhelming feeling of guilt so I took the Troll 10p rubber out of my pocket and I threw it on the ground.

“My mum saw I threw it on the ground and she knew I had stolen it, so she brought me back to the shop and made me give it back and for a long time after that,
I didn’t steal anymore.

“When we were 18 in San Francisco and Chicago, my friend Joanna and I would go around the supermarket.

“We were on a J1 trip to America, we didn’t have any money, so we’d go into the supermarket and we’d start eating things in the supermarket.

“Like opening a pack of ham, eating the pack of ham, crisps, and then we’d leave.”
