Vogue Williams "couldn't walk properly for a week" after doing Celebrity Gladiators.

The media personality suffered complete burnout after her body was pushed to the limit in multiple gruelling physical challenges against the BBC game show's elite athletes - known as the Gladiators - on Christmas Day 2025.

Vogue - who won the show after she beat ex-Olympic boxer Nicola Adams, 43, by 200th of a second in the nail-biting Eliminator - told the new issue of RSVP magazine: "When the BBC asked me to do Gladiators, I couldn't say no - I mean it's Gladiators.

"I won it too, which was so unexpected. I was dead after that. I couldn't walk properly for like a week after - that's when I really knew I was 40."

Vogue survived on basic rations in an Australian jungle with other big names on ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, weeks before her appearance on Celebrity Gladiators.

However, in 2026, she has no plans to do more reality TV shows.

Asked if she would try The Celebrity Traitors - the BBC's ultimate game of backstabbing, betrayal and deceit - Vogue responded: "I wish!

"I'm not going to do any of those shows for a little while, I feel like between Gladiators and I'm A Celebrity..., I'll have nothing left to do!

"Everybody would love to do it because it's such a great show. The Irish one is amazing too, it's such a great format. But I've done a lot of those kinds of shows now, so not in 2026."

Vogue gets recognised by people more since her stint on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.

She explained: "So many more people come up to me that have watched it. It's such a great show, and it was really fun to be a part of.

"I think they've only had 300 people ever on it, so to be a part of that is amazing.

"I never thought I'd do it, so I'm actually so glad I got the opportunity."

Vogue - whose campmates includedTwitch streamer Angryginge, 24, who won the show, Emmerdale icon Lisa Riley, 49, and 64-year-old Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp - added: "I made such great friends on it too, who I'm still in touch with."
