Spencer Matthews has expressed embarrassment over his relationship with alcohol . The former Made in Chelsea star, 35, quit drinking in 2018 to save his marriage to the presenter and My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast host Vogue Williams , prior to which he admitted he had been drinking up to 10 pints of beer a day while working as a city trader. Matthews, who very occasionally drinks alcohol now, says he looks back on his period of excessive drinks with discomfort.
Speaking to the MailOnline , Matthews – who is training to run 30 marathons in 30 days – 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,” he added. “I feel in the best shape of my life and I’m very happy.
” The former reality star is running 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert to raise money for charity. Speaking of the physical feat, Matthews explained: “I’m at that stage in my life where I really want to push the boundaries and explore what’s physically and mentally possible.” If Matthews is successful in completing the challenge, which will see potential temperatures of up to 45 degrees each day, he will become a Guinness World Record holder for the most consecutive marathons run on .
