Vogue Williams discusses 'tough week' as she finally opens up on Brian McFadden split

Vogue Williams has finally opened up about her split from husband Brian McFadden, admitting that it's been a 'really tough week'.

The model discussed the difficult time she'd been having since announcing the split last week, but said that she didn't want to give too much away.

Speaking to the Sunday World paper, she said: "This has been a really tough week for Brian and I. The support we've been getting from people online has been amazing.

"Seeing everyone's kind words has really made a difference in this hard time. We both have great families and friends that are being really supportive too."

The 29-year-old, who was married to the former Westlife singer for three years, admitted that the pair are keen to remain friends.

She said: "'I don't want to say too much on the subject, but I will say that we really do remain friends and will always be in each others' lives."

The former couple announced that they were to separate in a joint statement posted on their Twitter and Instagram pages last week.

McFadden wrote: "It is with sadness that Vogue and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways.

"We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and wish each other all the very best for the future."

He added: "We have nothing else to say on the subject and we would like to thank our friends and family for their support during this difficult period. Brian x."

Williams and McFadden met in 2011 before getting engaged in January 2012 and tying the knot in Florence, Italy in September of the same year.
