Fans in hysterics after Vogue Williams sparks sex toy confusion with bikini picture

Vogue Williams wasn’t shy on the slopes this week. The TV star, 39, her husband, Spencer Matthews, 36, and their three children, Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two, took a family vacation this week during half-term holidays, where they put their skiing skills to the test.

But it was Vogue’s bold bikini picture that caused a stir online after fans noticed an object that resembled a sex toy in her hand. Sharing the stunning snap with her 1.1 million Instagram followers, she wrote in the caption: ‘I may have brought 4 ski suits on holidays, but it was too hot, so I just wore my bikini like everyone else.’.

While many took to the comment section to gush over the Irish model’s physique and bravery for stripping down in the freezing temperatures, others were preoccupied with what was in her hand. @mollymiff_ asked: ‘What are you holding?’ with a facepalm emoji.

While @wreaths_by_elle was more direct, as they declared: ‘I really thought that was a dildo’. Earning over 150 likes, many replied to the comment saying they thought the same. Along with a laughing face emoji, @lornapinupbeauty wrote: ‘came here to say the same’, as did @tanyaszonyi who added: ‘ I was about to write the same thing ha’.

Elsewhere in the popular comment section, Vogue’s followers shared a few other options, including @sjkaufmann, who asked if she was holding a ‘sausage’. @daniellecatherine1981 also replied, adding: ‘Looking amazing as always – but what are you holding in your hand!?’.

While Vogue hasn’t yet responded to the comments on her post, the truth about what she was holding was likely under our noses the whole time. After sharing proof she wore her bikini on the slopes, she added: ‘Also I refuse to leave the house without my @barebyvogue tan, face mist, towel and illuminator especially when on the slopes… well, I probably didn’t need the towel but my business partner bought 3000 of them so trying to get him his monies worth!’.

Based on that alone, the little pink bottle in her hand is likely an item from her tanning range. Despite Vogue’s bikini snap, she did get the chance to put her four ski suits to good use, sharing multiple snaps from the trip, including one with her kids.

‘I’m gonna say this is my favourite holiday now’, she wrote in the caption of one post. ‘The logistics of having three kids here is tough, but I feel so lucky that we all get to have fun skiing… T is a little speed demon on the slopes, Gigi is getting pretty good but would rather be held, and Otto really enjoys a snooze on the slopes! Keep swiping to the end.’.

She paired the caption with a series of complimenting pictures and videos, including one of her sleeping son and an adventurous video of her practising a ski jump. It’s unclear where Vogue and her family are vacationing as they chose to keep it private, but they have returned to the UK now ahead of school returning on Monday.
