Vogue Williams issued one “request” to her husband after he completed his gruelling 30-day marathon attempt across the Jordanian desert.
The former star of Made in Chelsea entered the Guinness World Records in August for most consecutive marathons run on sand. The 36-year-old ran 786 miles through the Jordanian desert, in 45 degree heat, to raise funds for Global’s Make Some Noise, beginning in Wadi Rum on the edge of the Arabian desert and finishing near the Dead Sea.
While he was away taking on the incredible challenge, Vogue stayed at home with their three young children “holding the fort”. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Spencer said tha, upon his return, his wife asked him if he was ever going to do anything like this again.
‘I said: “Well, I’d love to do something like this every year for the next ten years,” Spencer said. “‘It was the most amazing thing I’ve done in my life.
‘Vogue said: “What?!!” Then she kindly requested that the next one doesn’t take 30 days, so I’m going to try to keep it to 20-something.”
The dad-of-three made a name for himself as a charming, yet sometimes insufferable, member of London’s party scene during his time on Made in Chelsea. However, in 2015, he announced he would be quitting the show before meeting his future wife Vogue two years later.
The pair hit it off after competing on Channel 4’s reality competition The Jump before popping the question the following year. A month later they revealed that they were expecting their first child together, and they welcomed a baby boy, Theodore, in September 2018.
Spencer has left behind his partying lifestyle and is instead fully focussed on his family responsibilities and also preparing for his next endurance challenge. This one will see Spencer attempt to do seven Ironman-style triathlons across seven continents.
While this particular challenge has been done before, over the space of four years, Spencer is going to attempt it in less than four weeks. Spencer told the Mail that this biggest test will be the 2.4-mile swim in Antarctica, where the water temperature will be just above freezing
He said: “Although the biggest challenge at the moment is working out how we keep the leopard seals away from me. ‘Those things weigh 350 kilos and they will kill you. We are genuinely having meetings about that.”
