Spencer Matthews once spent a full day in hospital after extreme sunburn left his body swollen and dehydrated, according to his wife Vogue Williams.
Details of the incident
Speaking on her podcast with her sister Abbie, Vogue recounted the story after hearing about a man who went viral for his severe sunburn. She explained that Spencer's ordeal took place in Africa.
She said: "That happened to Spen before. He was in Africa and he went on the p**s. And he got home at like six in the morning and fell asleep on a sunbed and woke up at two or three and he woke up and he'd sat in the sun from 6am when the sun was rising till like two or three in the afternoon."
"And he said his whole body was so swollen and his face was really swollen. And he was so dehydrated. He had to go to hospital. He was in hospital for a full day."
Recent family holiday
The revelation comes after Vogue was spotted on holiday in Spain with Spencer, with whom she shares three children. She was seen in a yellow bikini showing her baby bump, while Spencer displayed his abs in green and brown shorts.
Spencer's lifestyle transformation
Known for his role in Made in Chelsea, Spencer previously discussed how he and Vogue "struggled" after a major upheaval. Once a heavy drinker, he transformed his lifestyle and completed endurance feats including 30 marathons in 30 days in the desert. He also launched the alcohol-free spirits and canned cocktails brand CleanCo, but the business caused some issues.
He told the Untapped podcast: "That is something my wife and I have struggled with in the past. When I started Clean Co, I was just like a dog with a bone. I slept sporadically, I was pacing around the kitchen at four in the morning chatting to Australian investors. I just had no chill, no off switch, was for all intents and purposes thinking I was Bill Gates, I was just in it."
