Vogue Williams 'vetoed' Spencer Matthews' first name choice for daughter Gigi

Vogue Williams has admitted that she "vetoed" her husband Spencer Matthews' first name choice for their daughter Gigi.

The Made in Chelsea star, 32, wanted to call Gigi 'Margaux' so Vogue compromised by using that as Gigi's middle name.

The couple welcomed their second child earlier this year and they're also parents to two-year-old Theodore.

"[Her full name is] Gigi Margaux Matthews," Vogue, 35, told RTE presenter Ryan Tubridy on his radio show.

"Margaux was Spenny's first choice I think. That got vetoed by me.

"I had a different one and then we both actually changed to Gigi and we just absolutely loved it. I think it is a really nice name.

"It is a name that I would like for myself so I thought that would be good enough for Gigi.

"Spenny is fluent in French so [the spelling] is a little French twist."

Vogue added that Theodore loves having a little sister, but is a "little less than gentle" when he plays with her.

In the interview, she also opened about losing her father Freddie to a stroke nearly ten years ago.

"You know, I still think about him probably every day," she said.

"One of my friends lost her mum recently and I said, do you know what?

"It's really, really hard now, but eventually you get to a point where you just think really fondly of them, and it is more or less every day.

"But yeah I think it would have been amazing if he had been able to meet the kids.

"But sure most of my family haven't met [Gigi] either. Because she was born during lockdown so my mum has met her and my step dad, and that's kind of it for my whole family."
