OHMYGOSSIP — Spencer Matthews “could’ve died” during the height of his “abusive drinking” habit.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star would sometimes down ten pints or a bottle of whiskey a day when the issue was at its worst, and he has credited his wife Vogue Williams with helping him to “break the habit”.
Speaking to Vogue on the ‘Taboo Talk’ podcast, he said: “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.”
The 35-year-old star admitted he would sometimes go to bed intoxicated, and believes his journey to stop excessive drinking would’ve been “more difficult” if he didn’t have Vogue.
He said: “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 thought ‘I don’t need this in my life’.
“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.”
Spencer still drinks occasionally, but admitted he is sober “most of the time now”.
He said: “I feel very fortunate to have found that level of balance.
“Before, having one glass would have turned into ten and then I’d be out all night.
“I’m sober most of the time now. I’ve gone from problem-drinking on a daily basis to having a drink if I feel like it very irregularly.
“I no longer see it as a problem. I have great balance in my life.”
Spencer and Vogue – who have three kids, son Theo, five, daughter Gigi, three, and son Otto, 20 months, together – married in 2018.
