Spencer Williams has opened up about his work relationship with his wife Vogue Williams, saying he found competing for jobs “grating”.
The former reality star, 37, and TV presenter, 40 , married in June 2018, and share son Theodore, seven, daughter Gigi, five, and son Otto, three.
The pair used to work together on a reality show, the Spencer and Vogue Show, and they had a podcast as well, but Matthews said there was a “sense of competition” when they were working together.
Speaking on the On the Mend podcast with Matt Willis, he said: “She's an incredible woman, you know? Anyone that's met my wife, you know, immediately loves her. She's easily the favourite of the two of us.
“Back in those early stages, we had a TV show together called the Spencer and Vogue Show. We had a podcast together called Spencer & Vogue.
“So that of course is the sense of competition, like who's funnier? We're constantly competing. We're having little jabs at each other on camera.”
He elaborated, saying it would also become “competitive” when the jobs they wanted to do overlapped - but this has since changed since they started working in “different directions”.
“But of course, it's a natural thing. Ultimately you're entertaining. So, who's more entertaining? When we stopped all that and I went to pursue this in a bit of a different direction, performance and sport and she wants to be a TV presenter,” he added.
“I've never wanted to be a TV presenter. So having those differences in what we do has been really helpful.
“When she lands something, I'm really proud of her. Whereas when we were together and doing similar stuff and she would get something that I was potentially interested in, it was a bit like, you're happy for your partner obviously, but it's also a bit of a kick in the teeth. It's like well, why didn't I get it?
“That creates, not issues, but there is a slight competition is probably a good word for it.
“If you're in a competitive scenario with your partner it can be a bit grating.”
On the podcast, the star also discussed his past relationship with booze, saying Williams would have left him if “carried on with my drinking and bad habits”.
