Vogue Williams has slammed reports that her relationship with reality star Spencer Matthews is one big PR stunt.

The 31-year-old model and the 27-year-old Made in Chelsea met while part-taking on this year's series of The Jump and began dating shortly after. 

The Howth native hasn't been shy of posting loved-up photos of her new man on social media but fans don't seem to be entirely convinced that the relationship is the real deal.

Speaking to the UK's Mail on Sunday, the former Fade Street star laughed at the idea that her blossoming romance is one big lie and admits she wouldn't have the energy to play into such a thing.

"I’ve never understood how people could have a showmance because it’s really hard to fake something like that," she said.

"I wouldn’t be able to and I wouldn’t do it to my family either. It’s telling lies. Obviously Spencer has a reputation and people are waiting to catch him out," she added.

Williams also denied rumours that the pair are in an open relationship after Matthews was snapped on what appeared to be a date with another woman recently.

"If you’ve chosen to be in a relationship, what’s the point in wanting to be with other people? 

"That’s just like being single."

Matthews confirmed he is dating Williams during a Facebook Live chat with Brendan O'Connor last month.

Williams was talking to O'Connor to promote her appearance on RTÉ One's The Cutting Edge when Matthews was summoned to the set for a chat.

Williams remained coy anytime their romance was mentioned, but Matthews could not contain himself leading Williams to chastise him by saying: "What are you talking about Spencer – you're giving the game away here!"

O'Connor then asked if the pair would be heading to Pippa Middleton's wedding (Pippa is engaged to Matthews' brother James) to which Matthews responded: "I will be – this (Williams and Matthew) is very new. Are we not suppose to say that – oops!"

He added: "If I could shout it from the top of mountains I would!"
