Spencer was left struggling and ended up in a hospital bed. Vogue and her auntie, who had joined them on the escape, also became ill for four days. Speaking about how their holiday rapidly went downhill on her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, she joked to her co-host Joanne McNally: "Spenny was hospitalised for two days because he is a little b***h and he can’t handle it."
Shocked by the admission, Joanne asked the reason why he ended up in hospital. "Well I will tell you what, he overdosed on coldsore tablets," Vogue replied. "I am not joking, I am not joking, I’m not. He overdosed on cold sore tablets and his liver function, because he did it for a full week, taking ten of these things and he said ‘oh they’re fine’ and he did it to me when I thought I felt a tingle and he said ‘darling take six of these and you’ll be fine’ and you’re only meant to take two."
However, she did add that she wasn't sure that an "overdose" was the reason and it was likely the sickness bug that had infected the family, but that Spencer in particular had struggled with it.
The couple had been joined by their three children on holiday - four-year-old Theodore, Gigi (three) and one-year-old baby son Otto. They had also been celebrating Gigi's birthday on the trip, with Spencer sharing an adorable tribute to her: "Happy birthday Gigi bear."
