Pippa Middleton made headlines in 2017 on her wedding day, but the public seemed far
more interested in her shiny new brother-in-law.
Reality TV star Spencer Matthews might have made a splash when his older brother, James
Matthews, wed into the Middleton family, but here's how he'd already been heating things
up for years.
"Learning all sorts today."
Matthews rose to prominence while starring on the BAFTA-winning Made in Chelsea show,
a reality series that follows the exploits of affluent young adults living in London.
Chelsea is home to a number of rich and famous Brits, but Matthews was born in the more modest
Sheffield.
He told The Sun,
The son of a motor trade and luxury hotel mogul, Spear's estimates Matthews' net worth
at around $3.8 million, as of 2019.
"I would say that my family are proud of what I'm doing, I wouldn't say they're jealous,
they've got, you know, quite a lot of stuff to be happy about themselves."
Matthews appeared in the very first episode of Made in Chelsea and went on to become one
of the longest-serving cast members.
But by 2015, he'd starred in ten seasons of the show and was ready to move on, telling
Digital Spy,
Hoping it would expose him to a wider audience, Matthews joined I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out
Of Here!…And lasted just three days.
"This is amazing.
I love it out there.
No problem."
The actor was booted by network brass after he admitted to using steroids.
He told the BBC he hadn't realized he was in the wrong, admitting,
In 2018, Matthews returned to reality TV via Celebrity MasterChef.
"Don't worry about me, chef.
I have burned myself a couple of times, but there's no stopping us."
He made the final, but the move was called into question over allegations that he'd been
secretly getting lessons from multi-Michelin-star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
One irate fan tweeted, via the Express,
So what really went down?
Matthews revealed on Sunday Brunch in 2019,
In the end, it still wasn't enough to secure him the MasterChef crown.
Just ahead of his appearance on The Jump, Matthews insisted he wasn't looking for love
on the show, telling Hello!,
He did win the show, but he also won the heart of fellow contestant Vogue Williams.
"Are you two a couple?"
"She doesn't like calling that, we're probably, we've got a kid on the way, I think.
We've got impending nuptials."
Williams is best-known for her appearances on Dancing with the Stars and Bear Grylls:
Mission Survive.
The Irish model and TV personality won her season of Mission Survive, but perhaps her
greatest achievement to date is taming Spencer.
The pair tied the knot on his family's 30,000-acre Scottish estate in 2018.
Matthews told Hello!,
The couple welcomed a son, Theodore, in September 2018.
And of course he appeared on reality TV before he was even born.
In 2018, Channel 4 commissioned a new series promising viewers a peek into the lives of
their favorite reality stars with Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too.
Matthews told the Daily Mail of the show,
"Yeah, the dog's mental health is pretty high on my level of interest given that we have
a new infant in the house."
When the first episode dropped in January 2019, viewers loved it.
Even the biggest critics of the couple couldn't help but be sucked in.
