He spent years frequenting the plush haunts of Chelsea, earning a living and a reputation from his partying.

Then there's the small matter of the family business. His father David Matthews is a former door-to-door salesman, turned race car driver, turned hotelier. Spencer is a shareholder in his parent's a-list hotel, Eden Rock in the Caribbean.
Spencer recalls in an exclusive chat with MailOnline that he spent his twenties trying to continue to fund the lifestyle his privileged background has afforded him.
Made In Chelsea days: As well as feeling unfulfilled in his work, Spencer realised he had an 'unsustainable relationship with alcohol' during those heady years of partying and TV fame
'I spent a lot of time working professionally in jobs that I didn't perhaps love, working pay cheque to pay cheque to live and to fund my lifestyle,' he recalls.
As well as feeling unfulfilled in his work, Spencer realised he had an 'unsustainable relationship with alcohol' during those heady years of partying and TV fame.
'I found it difficult in my later twenties to live up to my full potential. I've always been ambitious. I realised my relationship with alcohol was hindering my chances of becoming that person whoever that might be,' he admits.
He decided to quit drinking in 2018, becoming in his words 'sober curious', prior to the birth of his first child with wife Vogue Williams.
Then after being offered a non alcoholic gin and tonic at a party, he had the brainwave which would transform his career trajectory.
Family: Spencer decided to quit drinking in 2018, becoming in his words 'sober curious', prior to the birth of his first child with wife Vogue Williams, which sparked his business idea
'From having the idea to trying to turn it into the business there was no time at all, within a week,' he says. 'I can't tell you how impatient I was with it, I was crazy with it. I knew immediately that I had to do this and I needed to do it.'
Calling himself 'impulsive, ambitious and at times arrogant in business',' Spencer admits that his newfound passion for work has affected home life with Vogue and their three children, Theodore, four, Gigi, two and Otto, six months.
He confesses: 'I'm an obsessive kind of person, I became obsessed with this and I think it was unattractive to begin with.'
'I was so tied up with this business and myself that you forget certain really important things, like spending time with your kids when you have a spare hour.'
'I completely love my kids and my family but I did get very much sucked into this. At one stage I was on calls at 1am, 2am and 3am every night. Of course it means that your mood is just affected and you're not quite the same person.'
Happy couple: 'You need support, particularly from your wife and family,' he adds. 'My wife is my best friend, we see each other every day' (pictured in February)
'You need support, particularly from your wife and family,' he adds. 'My wife is my best friend, we see each other every day. She has her own career, she does not need me or need this to go well.'
And he admits he has a security blanket: 'Vogue's wildly independent. I'm lucky in that regard, I'm not risking her or my family's future if I fail. She is successful in her own right which is of course helpful to me, it takes some of the pressure off.'
Spencer is choosing to embrace his ambitious nature, pointing out 'I think confidence is a good trait, not to be mistaken with arrogance. There's a fine line between the two.'
'Starting a side hustle or a business without raw passion is really difficult. People need to buy into you, your idea and what you believe you can achieve.'
'I would far rather fail at a wild goal than achieve an easy goal but in business you have to strike the middle ground.'
Spencer is now passing on his business secrets, fronting a campaign to empower would-be entrepreneurs to take the leap and kick off the business ideas they've always dreamed of.
The #MuscleUpYourSideHustle project will be supporting 10,000 people to set up cash generating side hustles in the next 12 months.
The campaign, from Osome (who provide small businesses with financial management and accountancy tools) is giving away free information and advice packs to anyone in the UK interested in setting up their own business.
