Spencer Matthews says he felt his ‘relationship slipping away’ with Vogue Williams as he credits ‘amazing’ wife for quitting alcohol
Spencer Matthews said he felt his relationship with wife Vogue Williams ‘slipping away’ as he detailed how she helped him quit alcohol in a new candid interview.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 37, sat down for a chat with Davina McCall on her podcast Begin Again, where he opened up about how wanting to be worthy of his ‘amazing’ wife, 40, who transformed every part of his life.
When the host, 58, simply asked him: ‘How have you become this guy?’, Spencer replied: ‘Marrying an amazing woman who I want to be better for, I think, has been very helpful.’
‘Genuinely, the person I used to be isn’t good enough for my wife.’
Spencer said he made a ‘very conscious effort to become better’ when he first met Vogue – whom he married in June 2018.
‘I had big problems with alcohol. You’ll probably remember on The Jump, I was a very heavy drinker. I went sober for her initially. It then immediately almost became for me, as well.’

At that point, the two-time Guinness World Records star ‘had no idea’ how much that choice would eventually impact his life.
‘I could just see the relationship slipping. I could see that she would lose interest in me and put me on some scrap heap somewhere if I didn’t make an actual change to my own health. The fear of losing her was quite real.’
Throughout the interview, Spencer heaped the praise on Vogue as he said: ‘She’s got it all. She’s a very special person. And she lights up rooms that she walks into. She’s immensely popular.
‘I’ve never met anyone, really, that doesn’t immediately warm to her. Incredible sense of humour. Very beautiful.
‘And you only have to spend a few hours with her around her kids to just see what a special mother she is, as well. Completely selfless and very special.’
The happy couple share son Theodore, seven, daughter Gigi, five, and son Otto, three.
The British TV icon – who is also founder of CleanCo non-alcoholic spirits – also said he had always been ‘quite selfish’ in every previous relationship before finding love with the Irish stunner.
‘I would go out and drink and stay out all night and do whatever I wanted. And if it didn’t work, it didn’t work, and that was that.
‘I’ve never considered marrying anyone but Vogue’.

Vogue just recently returned from her gruelling stint on I’m A Celebrity, where she was the third celebrity to be evicted from the Jungle, while AngryGinge was seen to win the show overall.
On her eagerly-anticipated return, the model revealed all the ‘intense’ cosmetic tweakments she’s had done since returning home from the ITV show – joking that jungle life left her ‘rotting’.
The podcaster and presenter posted her first ever YouTube vlog on Sunday – a week after the show filmed in Australia ended and she flew back home.
In the debrief vlog she was sat in the salon as she said: ‘I’m getting all the important jobs done today. I’ve come in to Debbie Thomas. I have put on some numbing cream as I don’t know what we’re doing but I hope it’s intense.’
As the beautician got to work with potions and lotions on her skin she added: ‘So in the jungle we were given lotion for our body and face and soap so I have just broken out so we are going to try and sort that out.’
