Vogue Williams tells trolls 'don't waste your pity' as she opens up on exercising while pregnant

Vogue Williams has revealed exercise helps her combat her anxiety as she defended her decision to work out while she was pregnant.

The 33-year-old model - who welcomed son Theodore in September 2018 - has now hit back at trolls who called her a “disgrace” for returning to the gym shortly after giving birth.

Williams told Women’s Health magazine: “I used to get comments off people saying, ‘I think it’s a disgrace, you need to be relaxing, you’re pregnant, you need to take the next 10 months off!’

“But that doesn’t suit me or my lifestyle or the way I feel about myself.

“I train a lot for anxiety, it makes me feel good and I like it.

“There was one [article] like, ‘I pity her for having to get back into shape so quickly after a baby’, and it’s like, I didn’t have to get back into shape.

“Who am I getting back into shape for? Don’t waste your pity.”

The reality TV star’s husband, former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, last year revealed he had given up drinking to focus on being a father.

Williams admitted her husband’a sobriety had impacted on her own life.

She said: “It’s kind of nice that he doesn’t drink because I prefer to spend my money on tennis lessons. That’s so sad. I’m a loser.”

And Williams admitted keeping on top of her anxiety was daily battle.

She said: “Sometimes you just have to write some days off.

“I know that’s a terrible thing to say, but it’s the truth.

“I had days where I was at work and was like, ‘I’ll go for a walk, I’ll do my training and then I’m going to feel much better afterwards’. And I didn’t. [Those feelings] just followed me through the whole day.”
