Vogue Williams has revealed an encounter with an "older gentleman" at her sister's birthday party that "knocked her off her feet".
The Howth model was at an event celebrating her sister's 40th birthday party when she had a chat with a man that left her feeling heartbroken. Speaking on her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, Vogue said: "Something really strange happened at the party.
"There was an older gentleman there. I was halfway through a chicken wing and he was like, 'The last time I saw you was at your father's funeral'."
The man told her how he saw her standing over her father, Freddie's body after he died following a stroke in 2010. He recalled hearing her say: "Dad, you look so lonely".

Vogue told her co-host Joanne McNally that the encounter left her feeling sad. She said: "You and I like to make a little craic at dead dad jokes but that really knocked me a bit, I was like, 'Oh my god, am I going to cry? That's really sad'.
"It was a very sad time in my life and I didn't want to relive it at a party. I was just like, 'Okay' and I took a little fish finger and I went."
Vogue added that the man wasn't trying to be mean but was in fact trying to be sympathetic but his words "really knocked me off my feet".
