Spencer Matthews would’ve ‘lost’ wife Vogue Williams if he hadn’t stopped drinking

ICONINSIDER — Spencer Matthews has admitted he would’ve “lost” his wife Vogue Williams if he hadn’t quit alcohol.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star says he and Vogue had a “highly social, quite boozy relationship” after they first met on Channel 4 reality TV show ‘The Jump’.
But the star – who has son Theo, five, daughter Gigi, three, and two-year-old son Otto, with Vogue – knew he eventually had to give up drink to keep his marriage on track.
Speaking on The Mail’s ‘Everything I Know About Me’ podcast, Spencer said: “There was a certainty that I would lose Vogue, if I carried on drinking the way I was drinking.”
Spencer – who married the model in 2018 – has recalled going on a “mental bender” after he won ‘The Jump’, but he later felt like a “real mess”.
He said: “When I won I went on some like mental bender, lost everything.
“I was beginning to feel like I was a real mess, then. And that was a bit unusual for me.”
While he claimed Vogue is “a bit of a binge drinker”, she ditched alcohol when pregnant with Theo, but Spencer continued to drink at that time.
But because Vogue wasn’t drinking, it “emphasised” Spencer’s alcohol intake.
He said: “My drinking was emphasised by the fact that she wasn’t drinking.
“There was a general level of disappointment in her about me.
“I’ve always wanted people who are close to me to be proud of me.”
But he quit alcohol after a turning point in 2017, when he drank most of a bottle of whiskey.
Earlier this year, Spencer told how he “could’ve died” during the height of his “abusive drinking” habit.
