Sp Spencer Matthews has hit back at rumours that his marriage to Vogue Williams is in trouble, after the couple decided to leave their podcast earlier this year
Reality TV star Spencer Matthews has rubbished claims that his and wife Vogue Williams’ podcast departure signals marital strife.
The Made in Chelsea personality has firmly rejected the speculation and social media gossip that has been doing the rounds throughout the year.
Spencer made it clear that people’s assumptions about them calling it quits due to leaving the show were completely baseless. Chatting to RSVP Magazine, Spencer revealed: “We stopped the Spencer and Vogue podcast because I wanted to pursue a very different podcast.
“To be honest, I wanted to give my time in that world to a very different style of podcasting. I shouldn’t have to say this, but I love my wife, we work on all kinds of things together and I see her every single day.”

“There were so many rumours about how we left that podcast and how our relationship must be in trouble. There was no truth to it at all.”
For Spencer and Vogue, who are proud parents to three little ones, handling these whispers proved rather irritating. He continued: “I would read stuff and think, ‘Where has that come from?’ It was all made up. People assumed that if we were leaving the show then we must be breaking up.
“I was just pursuing different brands and different businesses. Vogue and I will work together again down the line. We will probably do more TV and we might do another podcast, who knows? I fancied a change and so did she. She has a new podcast with her sister Amber. There are no hard feelings. People always chop and change and do different things.”
Spencer’s personal struggle with alcohol drove his decision to establish his alcohol-free drinks empire, CleanCo.. The turning point came when he was given a brutal ultimatum that he could lose Vogue if he didn’t overhaul his lifestyle completely.
He confessed: “The brand was born out of a desire to fix a problem in my life. I’m an all or nothing person and I developed a really poor relationship with alcohol.
“I was drinking every single day for many years. It wasn’t always to excess and often it felt fun, but I was doing pretty significant damage to myself at the time, certainly to my ambition and drive.
“It’s very difficult to operate at a high level when you’re constantly intoxicated. I felt like I lost a bit of control in the last couple of years and I began to feel a little ashamed of my behaviour.
“I decided I had to make a change in my life if I wasn’t going to lose everything. I spoke to people and what I was hearing was that I could lose my fiancé at the time, Vogue, who is now mother to my three amazing children. I was told I could lose everything and that it was a slippery slope. So I quit and I didn’t drink for about two years.”
When questioned about potentially losing Vogue, he confessed: “It was hard to believe when I heard that. You always think that you’re not as bad as terrible drinkers.
“I have ADHD and I’m told that if you have it that you obsess over things. Drinking was an obsession for me, and it was a competitive obsession.
“I wanted to be the last person standing and I wanted to drink the most. It was almost like a badge of honour to be a great drunk in my day.”
