After more than a year apart, Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing finally reunited in London’s trendy Marylebone this week.
The pair met at Jampot Productions, Jamie’s company, to record an episode of Spencer’s podcast, Untapped.
Spencer has been focused on this solo project since his model wife, Vogue Williams, reportedly asked him to step away from their joint show, 6 Degrees, last year.
Despite whispers about a potential fallout, their recording session was warm and friendly, leaving listeners with little indication of any tension.
Addressing the Feud Rumours
During the podcast, the pair attempted to downplay their supposed feud.
Their playful claim was that their rift stemmed from Spencer missing Jamie’s epic ultra-marathon in Manchester, where Jamie ran 150 miles for Comic Relief in March.
The feat was monumental: Jamie ran from Chelsea Town Hall in London to Manchester, raising over £2 million.
Fans and celebrities alike, including Oliver Proudlock, Leanne Quigley, and Greg James, cheered him on along the way.
Spencer defended himself, saying, “Your challenge was a really beautiful thing to watch. I didn’t snub it at all.
I know you weren’t expecting soppy posts from me, and I never do those. I felt it was jagged and unfair.”
Jamie clarified, “No, no, they weren’t invited—people just showed up at the finish line.”
Spencer suggested the BBC must have sent them, but Jamie insisted he had no idea and was focused on completing the run.
Wedding Drama May Have Played a Role
Insiders suggest the real source of tension may go back to Jamie’s wedding to Sophie Habboo in Marbella.
The couple had a legal ceremony in London before a lavish celebration in Spain.
Spencer had been master of ceremonies and was famously close to Jamie, which makes their rift even more surprising.
A source revealed, “They were like brothers. Whatever happened at the wedding caused friction among guests and is still being discussed in their circle.”
Rumours swirl about an incident at the Sotogrande mansion, though details remain unclear.
Some suggested Spencer may have partied with model Lottie Moss, though she denies anything improper happened, admitting only that they “partied together” amid WhatsApp gossip.
Finding Comfort in Unexpected Friendships
During this period, Spencer found solace in a new friendship with Christine McGuinness while filming Pilgrimage: The Road Through North Wales in 2024.
Meanwhile, fans and insiders are left wondering how Vogue feels about the headlines and the complex social dynamics unfolding.
Shifting Management and Busy Lives
Spencer recently left Money Management, the firm he shared with Vogue, for a more showbiz-oriented agency, YMU.
A friend noted, “Having three young children and busy careers is hard.
Then he leaves their management and reconnects with Jamie. It all feels messy.”
Adding another layer of intrigue, the podcast was recorded near Chiltern Firehouse, a favourite haunt of Lottie Moss, highlighting the many coincidences swirling around this reunion.
