Spencer Matthews\u00a0has said he believes wife\u00a0Vogue Williams\u00a0‘would have left’ him if he had carried on with his boozy lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0reality TV\u00a0star, 37, who previously admitted he ‘could have died’ at the height of his drinking, said there use to be a ‘divide in their relationship’ when he used to drink, saying he felt she used to be ‘disappointed’ in me.<\/p>\n

Spencer and Vogue<\/a> tied the knot in 2018 while Vogue was pregnant with their first child, Theodore, who is now seven years old. The couple are also parents to Gigi, 5, and three-year-old Otto.<\/p>\n

But speaking on the On the Mend with\u00a0Matt Willis\u00a0podcast, the father-of-three said:\u00a0‘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.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

‘And yes, I think the light was shone on my boozing when she fell pregnant with our firstborn, Theodore. He made a big difference, I think, to our relationship, obviously, because I think what felt like joint fun became solo fun quite quickly because, obviously, she stopped drinking completely.<\/p>\n

‘And I just didn’t, I carried on, and it created this kind of divide in the relationship, but also made me realise, you know, maybe my drinking habits are not normal.’<\/p>\n

Spencer recalled the ‘moment of clarity’ he had to ditch the booze.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘I had a moment of clarity when I was drinking on my own at night if Vogue<\/a> wasn’t around. All of a sudden I was going to bed drunk.<\/p>\n

‘One night, when I was alone, I had a bottle of whiskey and struggled to get myself to bed. I was hammered drunk. I remember waking up the next day and I thought, “I don’t need this in\u00a0my life.”<\/p>\n

‘If I wasn’t married to someone who didn’t have a great relationship with alcohol, as in you don’t really like it, then my journey would have been more difficult.’<\/p>\n

He continued: ‘It’s not like I just fancied giving up drinking. I could have lost you, I could have lost work, I could have died – not to be overly dramatic about it, but that’s the way it was heading.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spencer Matthews\u00a0has said he believes wife\u00a0Vogue Williams\u00a0‘would have left’ him if he had carried on with his boozy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-384627","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
