Spencer Matthews admits to competing with Vogue Williams
Spencer Matthews has opened up about the competitive element to his relationship.
Spencer Matthews has competed with Vogue Williams at times in his career.
The 37-year-old TV star has been married to Vogue since 2018, but he admits that there's been a competitive element to their relationship.
He told Matt Willis' On the Mend podcast: "She's an incredible woman, you know? Anyone that's met my wife, you know, immediately loves her. She's easily the favourite of the two of us.
"Back in those early stages, we had a TV show together called the Spencer and Vogue Show. We had a podcast together called Spencer and Vogue. So that of course is the sense of competition, like who's funnier? We're constantly competing. We're having little jabs at each other on camera."
Spencer said the situation improved once they went their separate ways professionally, with him stepping back from their joint podcast to pursue other ambitions.
Spencer said: "When she lands something, I'm really proud of her. Whereas when we were together and doing similar stuff and she would get something that I was potentially interested in, it was a bit like, you're happy for your partner obviously, but it's also a bit of a kick in the teeth. It's like well, why didn't I get it?
"That creates, not issues, but there is a slight competition is probably a good word for it. If you're in a competitive scenario with your partner it can be a bit grating."
Spencer has also revealed that he managed to save his marriage by quitting alcohol.
The TV star shared: "I was very aware that if I carried on with my drinking and bad habits, that she would get bored, and she would leave me. And I knew that, and she never made that a thing.
"She never sat me down and gave me some kind of ultimatum or anything like that. But I could feel it. I could feel that she was a bit disappointed in me."
