Jamie Laing ignores 'best pal' Spencer Matthews' marathon triumph amid feud rumours

Daily Mirror30-04-2025

Jamie Laing ignored his Made In Chelsea co-star Spencer Matthews' marathon success at the weekend amid rumours of a feud between the pair. Spencer, 36, who previously referred to Jamie, 36, as his "best friend" completed the London Marathon with a personal best and took to Instagram saying he "couldn't be happier".
Many of the reality star's famous friends flocked to congratulate him on his triumph, including former Union J star and marathon participant, Josh Cuthbert, who said: "Incredible effort, mate". However, Jamie, who completed his own gruelling marathon challenge for Comic Relief in March, neither commented on or liked the post.
Spencer, who last year completed 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert, thanked everyone for their support in his message, in which he proudly revealed he'd finished the marathon in under three hours.
However, the dad-of-three failed to turn up at the finish line in Salford to congratulate Jamie after the former reality star ran 150 miles over five days and raised more than £2 million for charity in March.
Jamie and Spencer have been best friends since joining E4's smash-hit Made in Chelsea show in the second series in 2011.
However, after a surprise fallout before Jamie's wedding to Sophie Habboo was publicly aired in 2023, many are wondering whether the pals will ever make up.
While Spencer did attend Jamie's June wedding to Sophie in Spain, he wasn't present at the legal ceremony in London two months earlier and was seen on holiday in Portugal with his family instead.
When fans expressed their surprise that he had chosen to swerve the invite and jet off abroad, he used his podcast with wife Vogue to give his side of the story, admitting he was "p***ed off".
Complaining he was being "hammered" for his no-show, Spencer said: "I'm being hammered for 'snubbing' my best friend's wedding to go on holiday, and then posting about my holiday.
"I'm not here to b***h about my best friends but there's been some serious miscommunication from him." He continued: "I just want to set the record straight, more than anything. I'm not here to whinge.
"I was not invited to this part of Jamie's wedding, and neither was Vogue."
He added that he was "p***ed off" he didn't receive an invite and claimed he would have "flown to Japan" in order to attend. Vogue shared: "Sophie looked absolutely magnificent, we were absolutely thrilled for them, but we also did not know it was happening because we were not invited.'"
Vogue revealed that in all her years of knowing Spencer, she had never seen him so upset over the mix-up, saying: "He was very upset, I have to be honest, I've never seen him like that."
However, Jamie did take full responsibility as he said on his podcast with Sophie - alongside Vogue and Spencer: "I f****d up. We had our wedding, our civil ceremony in the UK. It was a hectic process. Amongst the hectic-ness of getting people there and things like that, I thought Spencer and Vogue were away.
"Spencer got upset - which is fair enough. So I sent Vogue a message hoping to get a bit of support and then she replied 'To be honest Jamie, it's not good.' And I was like 'f***'." His bride-to-be Sophie asked if the couple were coming to their big day, and Jamie had to revealed he failed to invite them as he knew they had booked a holiday.
Spencer replied: "To be honest, Jamie, like you're my best friend in the world. Which is why I think it hurt so much. Like if it was anyone else. For your wedding – I would fly three times around the world to come to it because I care about you so much."
While it seemed the pair had drawn a line under their differences, things between them haven't been the same since. Their podcast 6 Degrees came to an abrupt end in November, with reports claiming Vogue had been keen to pull the plug.
The silence around Jamie's Comic Relief challenge also sparked rumours of a floundering friendship as a source claimed to Daily Mail: "Jamie's run is perhaps the biggest thing he will ever do in his life – surely he must be missing his friend.
"You now have to wonder what has happened to cause a change in their relationship. Whatever went on, it caused a lot of friction. It's still being referred to amongst their unforgiving circle."

World's sexiest volleyball star Kayla Simmons goes topless on beach as fans say ‘never been jealous of ocean until now'

KAYLA SIMMONS went topless and swam near sharks in her most Jaws-dropping photoshoot ever. The former university volleyball star modestly claimed she was just "playing mermaids". 19 Kayla Simmons lapped up both the sun and Instagram likes as fans foamed over 'one of her hottest' photoshoots Credit: 19 The fearless star went for a plucky dip Credit: 19 Fans believe Kayla was some-fin special Credit: 19 Admirers were awed by her boldness Credit: But her 1million Instagram followers believe it was more about thrills than gills as she dazzled on the beach and underwater. One admirer reflected: "Never been jealous of the ocean until now." Another fan claimed the social media sensation had "a smile to launch a thousand ships". Kayla's nautical but nice snaps included her lying on the sand in a bikini that was minus its upper half. She was also seen in a short video wading into the sea, still without a top. And once she plunged under, marine lovers might reckon some of the exotic sealife she was snapped with - including huge fish - was almost as impressive as Kayla's free-spirited dip. But woe betide anyone whispering that to her army of enthusiasts. One fan raved: "One of your hottest sets... so stunning Kayla!" Another wrote: "Everything about this is incredible." A third simply stated: "Most beautiful woman in the world." Kayla Simmons films herself in sauna wearing just a tiny bikini as 'world's sexiest volleyball player' sends fans wild And a fourth posted: "I love your natural beauty." A few observers did worry about what looked like sharks just metres away - with Kayla even seen swimming towards one such beast. And when she was asked where the snaps were taken, she replied: "First photo is Hawaii." That Pacific island state is home to around 40 types of shark - but nearly all those varieties are safe to humans, with bite attacks very rare. So Kayla probably felt safe beneath the surface being... "snapped". The part-time mermaid also proved she's a full-time marvel on Instagram - as she rapidly clocked up thousands of likes for her assortment of aquatic pics.

Rolling Stones members pay tribute following death of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson

Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the American rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. Wood, 78, who has played guitar in the Rolling Stones and rock band Faces, said his world was 'in mourning' amid a week which has also seen the death of US musician Sly Stone. On Wednesday, Wilson's family said in a statement to his website: 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving.' The statement finished 'Love & Mercy', a reference to one of Wilson's songs as well as a film about him starring John Cusack. Wood said in a social media post: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week – my world is in mourning, so sad.' His message was punctuated with praying hands and heart emojis, and featured pictures of Wilson and American funk singer Stone, real name Sylvester Stewart, who died on Monday, also aged 82. Richards posted an extract of his 2010 memoir, Life, about Wilson on Instagram with the caption 'Rest in Peace!'. In the excerpt, Richards, 81, recalls hearing The Beach Boys for the first time on the radio, and his reaction to their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The extract reads: 'When we first got to American and to LA, there was a lot of Beach Boys on the radio, which was pretty funny to us – it was before Pet Sounds – it was hot rod songs and surfing songs, pretty lousily played, familiar Chuck Berry licks going on… 'It was later on, listening to Pet Sounds, well, it's a little bit overproduced for me, but Brian Wilson had something.' We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy — Brian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive) June 11, 2025 Cusack, 58, who played Wilson in a 2014 biopic, said in a post: 'The maestro has passed — the man was a open heart with two legs — with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight. RIP Brian.' Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood added: 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!! 'And greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, also paid tribute in a heartfelt post to X where he described Wilson as 'our American Mozart'. Wilson's band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. The Beach Boys' Carl Wilson, Al Jardine, Dennis Wilson, Brian Wilson and Mike Love (PA) Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit upon its release in 1961, but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They released their most recognised album, Pet Sounds, in May 1966 which included the popular songs Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows. Other studio albums including The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (Summer Nights!!), both released in 1965, also performed well in the charts. In the later half of the 1960s and into the 1970s they had success upon releasing greatest hits albums including 20 Golden Greats, which peaked at number one in the UK albums chart in 1976. Wilson married singer Marilyn Rovell in 1964 and the couple welcomed daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he became estranged from following their divorce. He later reconciled with them and they sang together on the 1997 album The Wilsons, which was also the name of a music group formed by Carnie and Wendy following the break-up of pop vocal group Wilson Phillips. Wilson, who had dealt with mental health and drug problems, got his life back on track in the 1990s and married talent manager Melinda Ledbetter. Beach Boys singer-songwriter Brian Wilson (Yui Mok/PA) When Ledbetter died last year, Wilson said their five children, Daria, Delanie, Dylan, Dash and Dakota, were 'in tears'. 'She (Ledbetter) was my saviour. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor,' he said in a statement. Wilson was also embroiled in multiple lawsuits some of which followed from the release of his 1991 autobiography, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. Their biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations, the latter of which topped the UK's singles chart. In 2012, following the 50th anniversary of the Beach Boys being founded, Wilson took to the road with Love, Jardine and others for a tour. Wilson's brother Dennis died in 1983 while Carl died in 1998.
