Spencer Matthews has revealed his ‘shocking’ relationship with alcohol left him feeling ‘ashamed’ but he’s now in the ‘best shape of his life’ after undergoing ultramarathon training.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, quit booze in 2018 after admitting filming the E4 reality series had exacerbated his inability to drink healthily.
TALKING ABOUT HIS PAST ‘ALCOHOL-LIFE’
In an exclusive interview, Spencer says he feels guilt-ridden looking back at his previous behaviour with alcohol, which he gave up to protect his seven-year marriage to presenter Vogue Williams.
Podcast host Spencer has not only overhauled his lifestyle from party boy to fitness fanatic but he’s now challenged himself with running 30 marathons in 30 days on sand as he aims to complete a Guinness World Record.
Despite wife Vogue’s reservations, Spencer insists he’s never been more prepared for a task of this magnitude after training in a heat chamber, cutting out ultra-processed foods and taking supplements have transformed his body and physical capabilities.
Spencer said: ‘I have come from having a shocking relationship with alcohol and feeling quite ashamed of myself actually to now being in a position where I’m really happy and comfortable.
‘The things that have made a big difference to my overall health are hardly ever drinking, minimal amounts of alcohol, exercise, good sleep and proper supplements. I feel in the best shape of my life and I’m very happy.
‘I’m at that stage in my life where I really want to push the boundaries and explore what’s physically and mentally possible. I have always been a big Bear Grylls fan and people that push themselves to their limits and now I want to do the same.’
