Spencer Matthews reveals he’s ‘drinking again’ after going teetotal for two years

Over the last few years, former party boy Spencer Matthews has been one of the famous faces promoting a sober lifestyle on social media - even releasing a range of non-alcoholic spirits.

However, it seems the reality TV star has now decided that he does not mind the odd alcoholic beverage as he revealed that he is no longer a "total abstainer."

Speaking to The Sun, the 32-year-old explained that he completed over two years completely sober, not even touching alcohol at Christmas or on holiday, but now allows himself "a very occasional glass of wine" and promotes drinking in moderation.

“It was a really interesting time, and at that time I thought, ‘I'm never going to touch alcohol again. Why would I?’, he told the paper earlier this week.

“But I now will have a very occasional glass of wine or a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve or if the occasion’s right."

It comes as the telly star submitted a White Paper to government in a bid to reset the nation’s relationship with alcohol amid fears many Brits are drinking more than the recommended maximum of 14 units of booze a week.

He was pictured outside Number 10 Downing Street this week with his boxes of paperwork.

The father-of-one rose to fame while appearing on the E4 reality TV series Made in Chelsea.

Spencer's life changed when he fell in love with Irish model Vogue Williams, marry the blonde beauty at his family's Glen Affric Estate in June 2018.

The happy couple are parents to two children together, two-year-old Theodore and 11-month-old daughter Gigi, with the dad-of-two becoming sober shortly after his son's birth.

The star, who is the founder and CEO of the Clean Liquor Company, has previously said he is a "better husband and father" when sober.

"My son’s coming up on two, and I’m expecting a baby daughter too," he said, speaking to Alcohol Change in 2020.

"I feel like I’m a better husband and father, sober. But if my kids want to go out and get drunk with their friends when they’re of age, I’ll say, “Sure, go and drink and have fun, no problem.”
