‘Thanks for making me see the light through my relationship with alcohol, which fills me with so much drive and purpose would never have existed without you… 

‘I have always dreamt of being a great father and because of you, that is now achievable. Feel lucky ever day to be married to you.’

In their pregnancy announcement, the family posed a HELLO! magazine cover, where Vogue was five-and-a-half months pregnant at the time, the couple admitted there had been a ‘few bumps in the road this time round’.    

Vogue revealed she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – a condition which affects a woman’s ovaries. 

The Irish beauty told the publication: ‘We’re delighted. It’s so exciting but kind of scary to think we’re going to have another newborn. There’s no doubt that I feel lucky to be having another baby.’

The TV host – who revealed she was expecting Theodore at the three-month mark in March 2018  – revealed the couple have been trying to conceive since last summer.

They decided to ‘keep it under wraps for longer’ as the pregnancy ‘hasn’t been as straight forward the last one’. 

Vogue said: ‘It was certainly a different path for us this time, so it’s really nice to be here and talking about it now. I wouldn’t say alarm bells were going off, but we did wonder how we could make it work a bit more efficiently.’   

PCOS is a common condition that affects how a woman’s ovaries work, with symptoms including excess androgen, polycystic ovaries and irregular periods – which can make it difficult to get pregnant as a result of irregular/failed ovulation. 

Talking at the time, the star – who previously made a pregnancy pact with mother-to-be Millie Mackintosh – said she has already bought ‘an obscene amount of clothes’ for her daughter, branding her unborn child ‘my little doll’.

On experimenting with ‘exotic’ names, Clean Liquor Company founder Spencer shared: ‘There won’t be any degree of stupidity to the name though. I think you can be fresh, and new and different, but it has got a bit silly in a few cases. So we’ll try and rein it in.’ 

Although his wife poked fun at her own moniker as she joked there’s ‘not another Vogue on the way’.  

The model also claimed her toddler son ‘won’t be overly jealous’ as he’s ‘fascinated’ by newborn babies.

Vogue also revealed that she has been finding her second pregnancy ‘easier’ as she doesn’t have time to think about it thanks to raising her son Theodore.

Although the star did admit that she was struggling to ’embrace’ her growing baby bump, she said on Instagram: ‘All of a sudden I feel VERY pregnant! I’m trying as much as I can to embrace my changing body but it’s not easy. 

‘I feel a lot bigger this time and it’s true what they say, girls make you wider and wowza that water retention is something else

‘I’m also not into having my bump out at all, last time I was all about the crop top and this time I’m not even sure I’ll wear a bikini in the summer.’

Although she added: ‘The best thing about a second pregnancy is that you don’t have much time to think about it which actually makes it easier. So Theodore my gorgeous boy, thank you for taking up every second of my day!’

Vogue and Spencer fell in love when they competed against each other on the Channel 4 celebrity ski show The Jump in 2017.

Sparks flew when Vogue was forced to pull out of the ski slopes early because of an injured knee with Spencer winning her affections when he looked after her following her injury.   

It was a true whirlwind romance, with the pair moving in together after seven months of dating.

They got engaged in February 2018 when Spencer got down on one knee after treating Vogue to a backstage tour of the West End’s Lion King production.

The TV stars married on his family’s stunning 10,000 acre Glen Affric estate in Cannich, Scotland the same summer, surrounded by close family and friends. 

One year later, they enjoyed a second wedding reception in London in front of their close friends and wider family. 

Spencer’s older brother James is married to Pippa Middleton, the sister of The Duchess of Cambridge.

His parents David and Jane Matthews, owners of Eden Rock Hotel in St Barths – one of the top 100 hotels in the world, an asset he is believed to have shares in.    

Vogue was married to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden from 2012 to 2015, while Spencer previously dated former MIC co-stars Louise Thompson, Caggie Dunlop and Lucy Watson.
