Vogue Williams has opened up about her mum kicking her out of the house when she was just 17.
The Irish presenter admitted her punishment was “well deserved”, as a result of her bad behaviour at the time.
Confessing she had been suspended from school twice, the mother-of-three quipped: “I would have kicked me out, too.”
Vogue told the Daily Mail: “I think I drove the nuns crazy. They could only stand it so much, me talking away, distracting everyone in class.”
“You could only have so many detentions on a Friday afternoon, where they made you do cleaning chores, before you were suspended. By the second time, I quite liked it because I realised I got a week off. I was thrilled. My mum wasn’t so thrilled.
“My mum kicked me out of the house when I was 17, which was well deserved. I would have kicked me out, too.”
The 38-year-old admitted that she and her sister were a nightmare for both her parents when they were teenagers, often causing trouble.
She revealed: “We were a nightmare. I mean it wasn’t bad bad but with hindsight I could have taken school more seriously.”
“I’d say I was going to revise then just lie down on my bed with a science book over my face in case Mum came in.”
“Then there was underage drinking – Bulmers cider at 14, although I never got caught there – and sneaking out of the house to go to clubs or festivals,” she explained.
“I’d say I was going to stay at my dad’s, and my mum would say, ‘No going off to that nightclub, now’ – but, of course, I did.”
Discussing her family, Vogue confessed there are things they would never discuss – which isn’t uncommon.
“It’s a really raw thing to be able to ask about something you’ve always wanted to talk to your family about, but never have. Every single family, including mine, has those things they don’t discuss,” she said.
“I think it would be so beneficial for our family, but I don’t think we’d ever do it. You don’t want to bring things up from the past. You want to be all happy all the time.”
“There are some things in my family we will never have conversations about. I know we just won’t. Although there are things I would like to talk about I know it won’t be reciprocated, probably.”
