Reality TV star Vogue Williams has said moving to Australia ruined her marriage to Brian McFadden.
And the mum-of-three said her anxiety got worse during her divorce with the former Westlife singer back in 2015.
Vogue - who is now married to Spencer Matthews – made the revelations while chatting to co-host Joanne McNally on their podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me.

She was offering a listener advice on relocating for a relationship and opened up about her own experience. Reading out the dilemma, she explained the listener was upset that her partner was moving to Australia and didn't know whether to call things off or move to be with him.
Vogue quipped: “I also blame Australia for my first marriage, but anyway... why don't you go to Australia, why hasn't he invited you over?" The 37-year-old then joked: “Do what I did, follow a relationship to Australia, it will work out really well! Move to Australia with him, it's a nice place, it's warm, it's sunny!”
The mother-of-three went on to note: “When you meet the one that didn't get away - after the one you thought got away - you'll realise the one that you thought got away isn't the one that got away... because he was c**p!”
Joanne was in agreement, saying: “There isn't the one that got away because if they were into you they wouldn't have got away - they left.”
Vogue met Brian in May 2011 and shortly afterwards she moved from Ireland to Oz to live with him while he worked as a judge on Australia's Got Talent. Brian proposed eight months later and they wed in Tuscany in September 2012, yet three years later and shortly after moving back to Ireland they announced their split.
Vogue also admitted to hubby Spencer on his Big Fish podcast that her anxiety woes got worse while divorcing McFadden.
When asked by Spencer about what started Vogue’s anxiety, she responded: “My divorce…. Not from you,” she said laughing. "Going through a marriage break-up was definitely the driver of that. It really threw me. I went through a really bad time after that after it went from there.
“It kind of stuck around a little bit. I found really good ways to manage it and someone said that to me that you’ll never get rid of it but you’ll find ways to manage it. It could just be something that throws you off for it to happen but then I think you’ve always had some kind of sense of it.”
Vogue admitted she put on medication to help her cope with her anxiety as her symptoms were physical.
“What eventually helped me was I actually went on tablets for it. I didn’t want to do that because I was really embarrassed about it and they were super helpful for me.
“They’re not for everybody… but mine were real physical symptoms. I’d have clenched hands, I'd grind my teeth really badly at night. I’d feel sick to my stomach, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Then I went to speak to a therapist and lots of exercise in between and now I kind of feel like I’m in a good spot with it.”
During her Big Fish chat with Spencer, she also admitted a former agent told her she needed to lose weight if she was to become a successful model.
The Howth native said she would never look like Kate Moss and instead wanted a career in TV presenting.
She said: “I remember when I started modelling, one of the agents told me I needed to lose a lot of weight. I was never ‘skinny, skinny model skinny’ and I didn’t want to be like that.
“So I knew when he said that to me and I would see the other girls, I knew I would never be that slim. I knew it was never going to happen for me. It didn’t really bother me. That’s not what I wanted to do with my career.
“I always wanted to do TV presenting so that was my stepping stone and I was going to keep eating the burgers and live my non Kate Moss life.”
