Spencer Matthews has disclosed that his wife, Vogue Williams, once instructed him to “sleep downstairs” following an issue at night. Speaking to Fearne Cotton on a recent episode of her mental-health themed podcast, Happy Place, Spencer opened up about the topic of sleep.
Spencer mentioned that he typically (likely to the jealousy of many troubled sleepers) gets approximately eight hours of rest per night and is the “kind of guy” who can “sleep better” than his own children.
However, as Fearne described him as a “lucky sod”, Spencer recounted his own encounter with sleeplessness four nights before the recording and how it resulted in an amusing and perhaps familiar conversation with his wife.
He said: “Get into bed and I lay down, and I’m just like…I’m like wide awake. I shut my eyes to go to sleep, normal stuff. Like, it’s almost like when I shut my eyes, like they’re still open, right?”

Spencer went on to explain that you might as well “not even try”, as Fearne, who could evidently relate to Spencer’s bedtime predicament, interjected to also propose that it’s “almost more effort” to keep them closed.
He outlined how he attempted reading a book, but without success. Instead he turned to watching television. Spencer said: “It’s now like 11.30, and I’m just like, ‘What is going on?’ Like, normally, I’d be like flatlining.”
He continued: “I fell asleep at four, couldn’t sleep, and I’m like tossing and turning, and going….and Vogue’s literally just like, ‘Babe, like, will you like go and sleep downstairs?’ I was just like, ‘Go and what downstairs? Sleep? That’s a thing of the past’.”
Luckily, Spencer managed to drift off at 4am but had to rise just two hours later at 6am.
He subsequently described the experience as the “weirdest thing” that’s ever happened to him.

Meanwhile, in other news, Spencer, who has also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and The Jump, recently revealed in a vlog that his famous wife isn’t best pleased when he leaves things lying around their home.
He made the revelation about his wife while speaking on his Untapped YouTube channel.
Indeed, Spencer revealed that he might receive “an earful” from Vogue, who will instruct him to move the offending object and make sure that it’s “not around”, highlighting how it’s “cluttering the house”.
He explained: “Whenever I have anything lying around the house, and I mean anything at all, it could be a package that I’ve not even seen or opened yet or had anything to do with, right? It’s by the door, I will get an earful from my wife saying, ‘What is this? Move it. Make sure that it’s not around. It’s cluttering the house.'”.
