Spencer Matthews, known for his roles on Made in Chelsea and My Therapist Ghosted Me, has announced his next big challenge which will push his physical limits even further. This comes after he successfully completed 30 marathons in 30 days in the Jordanian desert earlier this year, raising an impressive £500,000 for Global's Make Some Noise charity. Not only did he achieve this incredible feat, but he also broke a world record in the process.
Despite warnings from his wife, Vogue Williams, that the challenge could "kill him," Spencer is now gearing up for his next adventure. He was welcomed home by his three children, Theodore, Gigi, and Otto, and is now setting his sights on his most dangerous challenge yet. The CleanCo founder will attempt to complete seven full Ironman Triathlons in seven continents in just one month, with the goal of breaking another record.
In a video announcing the challenge, Spencer shared, "This is without a doubt, the most mentally draining, physically demanding, and simply dangerous challenge I've ever undertaken and will push me to my breaking point." He also spoke to the Daily Mail about his love for pushing himself and achieving what was once thought to be impossible. Running 30 consecutive marathons earlier this year opened his eyes to the capabilities of the human mind and body.
But the upcoming triathlon will require even more from Spencer, as he will have to master two new sports - cycling and swimming - in addition to the 26.2-mile run. The Guinness World Record attempt will be captured by a TV crew from production company Whisper, who will document the journey in a new documentary series.
Speaking about the upcoming challenge on Chris Evans' Virgin Radio show, Spencer admitted that it was going to be "pretty rough" as he discussed the intense itinerary. He will begin in South Africa, then travel to Australia, Europe, North and South America, and finally end in Antarctica. He hopes to complete the entire journey in under four weeks, but believes it's possible to do it in just two weeks to beat the current record of four years.
Spencer's determination and drive to push himself physically is not new, as he previously traveled to Mount Everest base camp to recover his brother's body in the documentary Finding Michael. His brother, who became the youngest Briton to summit the mountain at 22 years old, never returned home and his body has still not been found. Speaking about the emotional journey, Spencer shared that he felt closer to his brother than he had in over 20 years and has come to terms with his loss.
Now, Spencer is focused on his next challenge and is excited to work with the Whisper team to capture every second of it. He said, "I know that I've bitten off a lot here but the countdown starts now and I'm thrilled to be working with the team at Whisper to capture every second of what I hope viewers will find to be an exhilarating journey." Spencer will certainly have his work cut out for him, but his determination and passion for overcoming physical challenges is inspiring.
