Spencer Matthews, 35, shared a stunning before and after photo on Instagram on Sunday after giving up alcohol and is now attempting a new world record.
Spencer, who is currently attempting to break a new world record and run 30 marathons in 30 days in the Jordan desert, took advantage of the post to explain what changed over the years to achieve his drastic transformation.
‘Looking at the photo on the left, I barely remember that person. Without discipline, lazy, lost. Without coherence or plan. My relationship with alcohol was starting to affect other people too.
‘The photo on the right was taken a few days ago while I’m preparing to run 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days in the Jordan desert to raise money for @globals_make_some_noise.
‘Currently, training involves running about 100 kilometers a week, lifting weights 3 times a week and doing regular physiotherapy. (I am burning approximately 4500 calories per day)
‘What has changed? My addiction, mindset and work ethic.
‘Over the last few years I have made a conscious effort to train constantly and focus on my health and wellbeing. This has allowed me to push my limits, test my abilities, and live a more fulfilling life.
‘If you take anything away from this post, let it be that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. If you want something, make sacrifices, say no to things, and let go of bad habits that hold you back.
‘On the left I would have struggled to run a mile and now, just a few years later, I hope to become a world record ultra runner this summer. (That, as a thought back then, would have been completely unfathomable)
‘If you would like to donate to my challenge, you can do so through the link in my bio. All funds go to Globals Make Some Noise who work with a variety of small charities that are very close to my heart. They focus on improving the lives of young people and families who need it most in the UK. None of your donations go unnoticed and all are greatly appreciated.’
His post comes just days after he recalled how alcohol took over his life and threatened to end his relationship before making the sudden decision to get sober.
During his years as a stockbroker in London and right up to his days on Made In Chelsea, the drink became a cornerstone of the TV star’s life.
But it was when he reached his mid-20s and met and married his wife Vogue Williams that alcohol began to threaten his future plans and desire to settle down.
Speaking in The Mail’s Everything I know about myself podcast, Spencer admitted her past behavior: ‘TI was certain that I would lose Vogue if I continued drinking the way I did.’
His post comes after he recalled how in the early months of their romance, after meeting on the 2017 reality show The Jump, he and Vogue partied together, admitting that “we had this highly social and quite drunk relationship.”

He recalled how in the early months of their romance, after meeting on the 2017 reality show The Jump, he and Vogue would party together, admitting that “we had a very social and quite drunk relationship.”
Alcohol even brought the couple, now parents of three, closer together, as he admits that he was perhaps the most dependent on alcohol at the time they met. ‘“I think anyone who has been on The Jump will tell you that it was something extraordinary,” he explained.
‘Even though I stayed sober when I got to the final for ten days before the final, I just went and won!’
“When I won, I went into a kind of mental turmoil and lost everything. Then I was starting to feel like I was a real disaster. And that was a little unusual for me.”
However, Spencer explained that while Vogue was “drinking heavily every few days and drinking to get drunk,” he continued “and it was every day.”
She won’t mind if I tell her she’s a compulsive drinker. In fact, she hates alcohol, she can’t stand being hungover. She doesn’t like the taste of alcohol, but she drinks to get drunk. Back then she drank to get drunk every few days. Now it’s like once a month,’ Spencer explained.
‘On days off, I drank and she didn’t. And then she would get back on the horse. And then when she stopped doing it, I went ahead and it was every day, and she would draw attention to it.’
Around this time, Vogue became pregnant with her eldest son, Theodore. ‘METER“Her alcohol consumption was accentuated by the fact that she didn’t drink,” Spencer said.
“There was a general level of disappointment in her about me. Which seemed like shit to me, because I always wanted people close to me to be proud of me,” she added.
After The Jump, Spencer struggled to find more work, while his wife’s career flourished. ‘I was starting to feel like a real loser. I would do great things and travel while I was pregnant, get these TV jobs and host these documentaries. And I’d be home.’
Spencer went crazy after winning the reality show The Jump in 2017, the show where he met Vogue.
However, Spencer explained that while Vogue was “drinking heavily every few days and drinking to get drunk,” he continued “and it was every day.”

Spencer’s turning point came after a drunken night in 2017, after drinking most of a bottle of whiskey at the London home she shared with Vogue.
When he drunkenly slept with Vogue, who was pregnant, he remembers how she told him she was going to leave him. “She didn’t really believe me, nor did anyone else,” he admitted, but “I didn’t drink for three and a half years, I just stopped drinking.”
And just to emphasize his turning point, the next morning he signed up for his first ultramarathon: running six and a half marathons in five days in the Sahara Desert. explaining, “I did it to punish myself for the wasted years.”
Spencer launched her low-alcohol beverage company, The Clean Liquor Company, in 2019.
He and Vogue are also now the proud parents of three children and the star has stated: “I think what success really is is the ability to exist and be happy, you know, with the people around you.” And I know it sounds a little silly, but that’s the truth.’
“I am very happy with my wife, my marriage, my children and our situation.”
His next challenge is to try to break a world record, and this week he announced that he plans to run “the most consecutive marathons on sand”: thirty marathons in thirty days in the Jordanian desert.
Spencer and Vogue have largely stopped drinking and are parents to three children: Theodore, Gigi and Otto.
