Spencer Matthews has revealed Made in Chelsea left him anxious and other co-stars crying themselves to sleep
The reality TV star, 36, told how he had a love hate relationship with the show and would regularly be ‘tripped up’ by producers (pictured on Made In Chelsea with Jamie Laing)
‘And you knew that the people who thought were close to you would very happily trip you up in a scene.’
Spencer, who is best known for starring on the E4 show, said his decision to leave Made In Chelsea was a ‘great’ one and that he is fortunate for his ‘thick skin’.
‘I remember waking up one morning and just say I’m done with this, I’m going to film this scene and I’m out,’ he said.
‘It was great decision. Although, I do look back at a lot of what we shot in the early days very fondly.
‘Great fun, like we did some awesome things. And we went to amazing places in the world. And I still have some of the relationships from the show.
‘I think when it was good, it was great. And when it was bad it was, not great.
‘And sometimes a picture would be painted, which wasn’t accurate at all.
‘And you would be abused by thousands of people online, every day for weeks on end. And it felt very unfair. Because it wasn’t real.

‘I’m very fortunate to my thick skin and my resilience and being able to brush it off and being able to not be affected in a very bad way by it.
‘But some people weren’t, some people would cry themselves to sleep every single night. And that was difficult to see.’
