Vogue Williams leaves presenter pals divided as she reveals nine-year age gap when she lost virginity
VOGUE Williams left her presenter pals divided when she revealed there was a nine-year age gap between her and the man she lost her virginity to.
The Dublin presenter was 18 and seeing a 27-year-old at the time.
She explained that she is still friends with the man and didn’t think the situation was unusual.
However on Boots podcast Taboo Talk, alongside comedian Russell Kane and Too Hot To Handle narrator Desiree Burch, the pair had different opinions.
Each speaking about their first time, Vogue said: “But did you not go in doing all the other stuff first.
“I remember before you’d lose your virginity, boys would go up your top.
“I was like, ‘They’re literally going to get to my head because I had no boobs. They’re just going to keep going’.
“That was literally all the stuff that we were doing first.
“The guy I was with was 27 and I was 18.”
Desiree sounded shocked at the big age gap.
She said: “Were you that girl in high school where it was like, ‘Oh she’s dating a grown man’.
“I remember there was this girl in my school who was dating a 27-year-old and it’s not until you’re 30 you’re like, ‘Well that was f***ing crazy’.”
Vogue replied: “I know, [he was] picking me up in my school uniform.”
But the telly personality insisted that the situation suited her.
Vogue said: “That was good for me because he kind of took the lead because I don’t know if I would’ve…”
Russell Kane cut her off joking: “Of course he did the dirty b*****d.”
Vogue asked: “Oh my God does that sound really bad?”
‘NOT UNCOMMON’
Desiree told how these situations can seem different looking back.
The US star said: “It’s not uncommon. You were the hot girl in your high school, congratulations but also looking back on it, you’re like, ‘that’s bats*** insane’.
“What was that guy doing at 27 being like, ‘She’s 18 this is totally cool’?”.
She asked Vogue: “Do you look at that guy now and go, ‘Oh he was a total social misfit actually if I think back on it’, or was he fine?”
‘QUITE FINE’
Vogue told how there was no bad blood between the pair at all.
She said: “No he’s actually quite fine and I’d still know him now. We’re not mates but we still live in the same area and I still kind of know him.”
Vogue, 36, is now married to Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews and the pair have three children. She was previously wed to Westlife’s Brian McFadden.
During the chat Russell also recalled his late pal Caroline Flack’s relationship with Harry Styles back in 2011 and their 14-year age gap.
He said: “I did not have an issue with it.
“People have more of an issue with it when it’s the other way around meaning we’re still treating women like these delicate flowers that still need to be protected.
“But at the end of the day a woman that is 17 years old does have her own legal faculties recognised in law.”
