Spencer Matthews reveals he'd down 10 pints and secretly take shots of vodka from bottles at depths of his alcoholism
SPENCER Matthews has opened up about his alcoholism - saying the first step was calling a famous pal who ordered him to drop everything and attend his first AA meeting that same night. The former Made In Chelsea star - who quit drinking to save his marriage to Vogue Williams - said he was shocked by the tough love urgency, but he did go along and initially felt out of place. 4 Spencer Matthews said a famous pal ordered him to attend his first AA meeting Credit: Rex 4 The former Made In Chelsea star was a wild party boy Credit: Alamy 4 Spencer said he gave up alcohol to help his marriage with Vogue Williams Credit: PA Opening up during a chat with fellow reformed alcoholic Ulrika Jonsson, Spencer said: "I suspect this will come as a shock, because I haven't really spoken about this level of detail. "I reached out to somebody that I don't really know - but a famous person. "My agent was managing a very famous person who was sober, and she got me his number and I called him and he said 'you need to get yourself to a men's meeting today'.

In a bid to turn his life around, Spencer said: "I went to the meeting and it was the Kilburn mens' meeting. I felt like I didn't really belong there. "Different people's problems are all relative, but I certainly felt like I was maybe fresher in the scale of what was going wrong. There were people there who were high on drugs at the time and very suicidal. "It was very eye-opening for me - which I suppose was the point. "I sat down next to this guy and he looked at me and he goes 'you look alright' and I thought 'Ok, thanks', and I actually felt out of place because I was deeply ashamed of my drinking and behaviour but I was a little bit like 'I'm sure I can find a maybe more appropriate meeting'.

Spencer also told how whereas during his earlier life as a City trader he'd openly knock back ten pints a night, he had already progressed to a point where he'd secretly swig booze from a bottle at home and lie to his loved ones. Speaking on his Untapped podcast, he added: "When my drinking started to creep into the earlier hours of the day I would just trot down the stairs, neck a double shot of whatever, put it back, come back upstairs like nothing's happened. "I would use vodka because there's no smell. "If anybody did say 'Have you had a drink today?' you'd just lie. "Ordinarily I'd just brush it off and say 'No, why would you think that?' "For me it was the shame. We also have a cupboard upstairs, I'd open the door and have a quick shot and then shut the door and even if there was somebody else in the house they'd be like 'What were you doing there?' - 'Oh nothing, I'm just looking for something'." Spencer said the secretive drinking made it difficult for him when he had to dispose of bottles he'd finished - in case someone either saw it in the bin or spotted it had disappeared from the drinks cupboard. He said: "I used to find it quite difficult when you would work through the whole bottle - over the course of several days - and then all of a sudden the bottle's empty, so it's like 'What do you do with the bottle?' "Do you throw the bottle out or do you keep the bottle - people might know that the bottle was there."

He took a break during the pandemic due to transatlantic travel complications while He was replaced by long-time professional dancer Anton Du Beke, who was later confirmed as a full-time judge in 2022. Advertisement READ MORE ON BRUNO Bruno's exit was never positioned as permanent, leaving the possibility of a return open. Now his future on Britain's Got Talent appears to be in question due to scheduling conflicts with his U.S. commitments. Bruno was brought onto BGT in 2023 following the departure of David Walliams, a decision personally backed by Simon Cowell despite speculation that comedian Alan Carr would take the role. A television insider said that changes to BGT's 2025 filming timetable have made Bruno's continued presence on the show increasingly difficult. Advertisement Most read in Reality Exclusive A TV insider said: 'The filming schedule in 2024 meant that Bruno could get away with not being present for filming one week of auditions. 'But it would be virtually impossible for him to miss two weeks, because in the final edit, that equates to half the episodes in the new three-month run of BGT, which will air from February of 2026.' Bruno Tonioli set to QUIT Britain's Got Talent judging gig as two favourites to replace him revealed Last year the show was able to work around Bruno's availability by splitting audition weeks. Advertisement However, this year all auditions are set to be recorded back-to-back over a single fortnight in October across Blackpool and Birmingham, overlapping directly with Dancing with the Stars filming in the U.S. With his exit looking increasingly likely, attention has turned to potential replacements. KSI, who impressed viewers during last year's Blackpool auditions and during a guest appearance on the live semi-finals, is seen as a leading candidate. Alan Carr, a close friend of Amanda Holden and original favourite to replace Walliams, is also expected to be in the running.

Love Island's Casey O'Gorman breaks his silence on FOURTH villa stint just weeks after Gabby split
He recently partied in Ibiza with an England footballer MONEY TALKS Love Island's Casey O'Gorman breaks his silence on FOURTH villa stint just weeks after Gabby split Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island legend Casey O'Gorman has spoken out on a potential fourth stint in the villa - just months after winning All Stars. Casey, who is now single after his split from Gabby Allen, has more villa appearances than any other Islander. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Casey O'Gorman has revealed what it will take to get him in the villa for a fourth time Credit: Rex 5 Casey split from Gabby Allen in May Credit: Rex This week we revealed he was in talks for the show's Games spin-off, and Casey admits "money talks". In an exclusive interview with The Sun on behalf of Tango, he said of a possible return: "I don't think I'd go back on for £10,000, no. "Look, money talks right? So if I'm getting paid £1,000,000 to go back on, I think you'd be stupid not to. That's not really been a thought of mine to be honest with you." He's currently in no rush to start dating again after his split in May, telling us: "I couldn't be more single. I'm just focusing on the marathon. I'm not focusing on dating or anything like that. I'm very happy." He remains a firm favourite with bosses, who were keen to give him a chance to shine as an original villa boy in All Stars, after two previous bombshell appearances. "The third time going in, they were like, 'look, Case, we feel like you've got so much more to give on Love Island and we want you to go in from the start'," he explains. "And I went, if you put me in from the start, I'll do it. I'll 100 percent do it because I feel like it's a completely different experience going in pretty much from day one. "So that's why I did it again because I felt like I was given a lot better chance going in from the start and it obviously paid off." Casey has just returned from Switzerland where he watched The Lionesses beat the Netherlands 4-0. He's kept up with the goings on in the villa when he can, and only has praise for two of the series' more controversial personalities. Love Island's Casey O'Gorman forced to pull out of Tom Park charity event as he reveals nasty ankle Harry Cooksley and Dejon Noel-Williams have come under fire for their lothario ways, telling their partners one thing and acting very different with bombshells. But Casey believes the show needs their spicy behaviour to keep things interesting. He says: "Do you know what? You're on Love Island, they're getting a lot of air time because they're being great TV. I think they've been great, I think they've been good fun. And I think if they weren't on it, the series would be a lot more boring to be honest with you. "I think you've got to do what you've got to do. And yeah, I think they've been good TV." 5 Casey has partnered up with Tango for a new competition that could see entrants win up to £10,000 Credit: TANGO When he's not training for marathons and playing padel, Casey likes to let his hair down with his famous friends. Last month, a clip of Casey partying in Ibiza with England ace Jude Bellingham went viral, and now the Islander has revealed what they spoke about. He says: "It was crazy. I'm quite good friends with Matty Cash, the Aston Villa fullback. So I went away with him to Ibiza and on the table onto our right was Jude. "We had a chat, he's a big fan of the show so we bonded through that. I think the first thing I said to him was, 'what's better, winning the Champions League or winning Love Island?' Which he laughed at. But we had a good laugh together. He's a top boy, he's a good lad. "I've been watching him play at the top level for Real Madrid. Obviously it's mega what he's doing and what he's achieving. You don't take it for granted. I'm obviously not at their level of fame or anything like that. "It's cool and I really appreciate that I get these opportunities to be in these circles for sure." 5 Casey said he'd need more than £10k to go back onto Love Island Credit: TANGO 5 Casey partied with Jude Bellingham in Ibiza Credit: Instagram The top 10 things Brits would do to win £10K: The top 10 things Brits would do to win £10K: Go a year without having a cup of tea (41%) Wear Crocs everywhere for a month (40%) Go without their phone for a month (38%) Swim in a bath of baked beans (37%) Go on a blind date set up by their parents (28%) Shave off their eyebrows (27%) Spend 24-hours locked in a lift with an ex (26%) Speak with a different accent for a month (23%) Hand over control of their social media to a friend for a week (22%) Let a tarantula crawl on their face (20%) Credit: Tango To enter, all shoppers have to do is purchase an eligible Tango product, scan the QR code, and enter their details via a microsite to play a short minigame – Shake the Bank.
