While fans of Vogue Williams might know who she is, there are a few people out there who aren’t familiar with one of the latest Dancing With The Stars contestants, Amber Wilson.
When Vogue’s husband Spencer Matthews stepped away from their hit podcast, it was Amber who stepped in and join her sister behind the mic.
The show rebranded as Vogue & Amber, with Wilson saying at the time: ‘Vogue finally twisted my arm – here I am sitting in a podcast seat with her! I’m buzzing to be joining the podcast with my best friend and sister Vogue.

‘ Big shoes to fill, but don’t worry, Vogue and I are coming in hot with all the fun, energy, and juicy gossip you can handle. And you’ll all finally get a chance to get to know me – the funnier sister!
‘We’ll be giving listeners a peek behind the curtain of our family life, sisterly antics, and, Spencer, rest easy, I know exactly how to push Vogue’s buttons!’
Now Amber is set to put on her dancing shoes and wow the judges, Brian, Karen, Arthur and new head judge, Oti, but let’s learn a little more about the podcaster.

Less so in the spotlight, Amber has an extensive career in marketing under her belt, having worked in the field for more than a decade.
Having started as an intern for Elevate PR back in 2009, Amber tirelessly worked her way up the ladder.
Amber has been open about her sexuality and her coming out story since her sister rose to fame, sharing the moment she broke the news to her family while appearing on Vogue’s Never Live It Down podcast, admitting her sister was the ‘easiest about it.’

Podcast Debut
While this may be the first time Amber is stepping into hosting duties, she has previously been a guest on a number of Vogue’s podcasts over the years.
Amber actually gave her sister a run for her money in the funny stakes after telling a hilarious story during her recent appearance on Never Live it Down.
The Dubliner left fans in stitches after she opened up about the time she attended the wrong person’s wake.
Chatting about her new role as podcast host, Amber Wilson said: ‘Vogue finally twisted my arm – here I am sitting in a podcast seat with her!

‘I was headed straight, with the hands clasped and everything, to the coffin to say my prayer,’ she told Vogue, who found the ordeal hilarious.
Amber continued: ‘Got closer to the coffin. I was like, “Jesus, he doesn’t look that great,” and then I looked at the picture beside the coffin, and I thought: “That is not him.”‘
Listeners of the podcast praised Amber’s hilarity, with many calling for her to be a regular fixture and they definitely got their wish.
