Since he ran 30 marathons in 30 days in the Jordanian desert for charity?
He's all over the shop today on telly and radio talking about his experience and he just seems really genuine and humble. Not at all Made in Chelsea anymore.
Or do I need to give my head a wobble?

It’s a well known secret he’s cheated on Vogue multiple times

Well, anyone can come here and say anything and claim it's a "well known secret". Without having any evidence of what they're claiming it is tantamount of hearsay at the end

alittlebitalexis1 · 30/08/2024 20:44

He’s cheated on Vogue, that’s the known gossip in the area anyway. Makes sense to me knowing of him through the years.

AngeloMysterioso · 30/08/2024 20:47

It’s a well known secret that he’s actually got a pretty serious foot fetish, we’re talking like the big stinky bunion kind, and the only reason he married Vogue is for her size 11 feet…

AngeloMysterioso · 30/08/2024 20:48

… seriously though, I don’t mind him. Got a bit of an ego on him but that’s not a crime. He’s raised a lot of money for charity. I quite like Vogue, she’s very funny and self-deprecating and her podcast with Joanne McNally is hilarious.

Tistheseason17 · 30/08/2024 21:00

I liked the reality show with Vogue.
She's got his number. I doubt he's cheated as he'd have no balls left.

My dad is a 60 something year old who still runs ultras. He will fly across the globe to run one, book his time off work, and won't tell a soul other than his nearest and dearest. He does it for himself. Saves for it, trains for it, quietly and humbly.

Spencer Matthews is not humble. He's got a whole publicity team most likely and is making a shit ton of money out of it.

JanefromLondon1 · 30/08/2024 21:06

Weren't they the idiots who didn't book their airplane seats and then called a woman who refused to move for their entitled arses a bitch?

Gowlett · 30/08/2024 21:07

I’ve never watched MIC, But I know Spencer more from his relationship with Vogue (she’s been well-known in Ireland for a long time). I think she’s been good for him. I like her!

nodogz · 30/08/2024 21:22

Love the feet gossip!

I was an avid made in Chelsea viewer back in the day and it was complete nonsense. Basically just like the barbie melodramas I used to play.

The producers did pick some great characters. And as they have grown up in the media they seem to be complete human beings. Who knew posh people had feelings and sadness in their lives. (I'm very fond of Jamie Laing, he's a sweet chap)

Spencer's marriage with Vogue seems genuine and he was green-flag obsessed with her when he did celebrity manhunt. I think he's has picked someone quite different to his social circle which is fascinating and hints at a decent character underneath. I also think it's quite interesting how his education/privilege has played a part in driving the marathon ambitions.

Pigeonqueen · 30/08/2024 21:26

I’m not sure really. I mean yes the money raised for charity is great but ultimately this is a very privileged rich man who has done something very dangerous, taking him away from his very young family. If Joe Bloggs was doing eg cave diving for charity spending months training and leaving his wife and kids at home he’d be ripped to shreds on Mumsnet….

USaYwHatNow · 30/08/2024 21:31

YABU. His family tried to sue the Sherpa who his brother went trekking with after he sadly died on the expedition on Everest.

WindowFrogs · 30/08/2024 19:48

I've got a really clear memory of him on Made in Chelsea telling a tearful Louise that he cheated on her repeatedly because she allowed him to. I don't think he's got a humble bone in his body but it's great that he's raised so much money for charity.

Me too. He is an entitled misogynistic wanker. He may well try to put on a Mr Nice Guy act now he is a married father but imo a man like him never changes his true nature.

Sleepygrumpyandnothappy · 30/08/2024 20:31

Pah. If I didn’t have to work and look after a toddler I would be running 30 marathons in 30 days.

Exactly! I'd love to pack in my job, outsource my kids and fuck off running all day. I mean fair play to him but acknowledge the massive privilege that allowed him to do it.

I hadn’t heard this! I thought he was a prick on MIC and I agree if someone can cheat that much and not give a shit, they’re not a good person.

VelvetButCold · 30/08/2024 21:59

Yikes, I loathe him and his wife and the laundry advert..(which I doubt she even does at all)

Funny creatures aren’t we, since I don’t know them personally, or much about them at all

Is he the one who is so stupid it’s almost incredible? That you imagine Eton wishes he’d slink away into obscurity because he’s not the greatest ad for an elite education.

Chickadeep · 30/08/2024 22:11

I have nothing to add apart from that his body is insane.

Is that you Spencer?!

StoneTheCrone · 30/08/2024 22:16

I think he's trying to rehabilitate his image after MIC, hence the documentary about his brother and the charity run.

Famousinlove · 30/08/2024 22:27

To the people saying 'do you realise MIC was a TV show?' are you saying the people who appeared on it were actors? If that's the case, why hasn't a single one of them gone on to more acting projects?

Can't stand Spencer, or anyone from the show really.. Ollie was quite funny but not seen anything of him recently

Yep. And he has also admitted to queue jumping when the fancy takes him.

Noseybookworm · 30/08/2024 22:44

Each to their own but I find him slimy and smug 😬 and his wife too in those stupid adverts for laundry pods where they're all dressed in white 😂

Naiveinthesematters · 30/08/2024 22:56

I ‘met’ him once when I was working at an airport in Spain. He had an economy ticket but didn’t want to queue, tried a slimy charm offensive that made me cringe. Obviously, I was polite but rules were rules. a few minutes later he can over again to smarmily thank me for my help having hoodwinked someone, who recognised him, towards the front of queue into letting him go first. 🤮
