Spencer Matthews, a former star on the popular show Made in Chelsea, recently completed an incredible feat by running 30 marathons in 30 days in the scorching heat of the Jordanian desert. Not only did he successfully complete this challenge, but he also set a Guinness World Record in the process. In a recent episode of his podcast, 6 Degrees from Jamie and Spencer, he opened up about his experience and the emotional journey it took him on.
Spencer shared that the first marathon was particularly tough for him, and he found himself struggling to keep going. That's when he turned to his late brother Michael for support. Michael tragically passed away in 1999 while attempting to summit Mount Everest and has yet to be found. In 2023, Spencer made a documentary called Finding Michael in an attempt to recover his brother's body, but unfortunately, he was unsuccessful.
As he chatted with his former co-star and friend Jamie Laing on the podcast, Spencer couldn't help but get emotional as he recounted the moment that felt like his brother reaching out to him for support. He explained that he had a brief moment to himself before the start of the marathon where he prayed to Mike for strength and guidance. To his surprise, a shooting star streaked across the sky with a bright red tail, leaving both Spencer and his friend Jonny in awe.
Spencer couldn't help but feel like this was a sign from his brother, and he continued to pray to him every morning before the start of each marathon. Jamie, who was also moved by the story, struggled to hold back tears and asked why it was making him so emotional. To which Spencer replied, "It felt like Mike literally burnt through the sky."
Spencer also shared that this experience has helped him find closure and come to terms with his brother's death. He recently retraced Michael's steps up to Everest in the hopes of finding his body, but even though he was unsuccessful, he feels closer to his brother than ever before. "There's no resentment there anymore; I've come to terms with his death completely," he shared.
Spencer also hopes that by sharing his story, he can give his brother a legacy and offer comfort to others who have experienced loss. He encourages anyone who has a similar journey to reach out and share their story.
