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