Spencer missing from Jamie stag do

Jamie addressed his decision frompal Spencer to miss his stag do. He claimed he didn't feel the occasion was right for Spencer due to his sobriety. He said: "It's a good thing, also because, probably at that point, alcohol, I think you were the most amazing place, with fitness and alcohol and you're sober and all these different things."

He continued: "Probably because you were maybe battling around whether not drinking or drinking, and so you were in a selfish space as well, going, 'I don't want to put myself in situations that potentially are going to lead me to drinking'. Yeah, so I'm not going to articulate that to Jamie. I'm just going to say I don't want to do it, because that's not my thing."

Admitting that the decision came from a breakdown in communication, Spencer added: "That's for you, for sure. Yeah, it's a breakdown of communication. You know, in retrospect, I probably should have come to stag for two nights and just not drank, you know, that was kind of selfish of me."

Jamie snubs Spencer on wedding invites

Jamie surprisingly snubbed his pal when it came to invitations for his wedding in 2023. Spencer admitted the situation "hurt him deeply".

Two months before the duo's lavish ceremony in Spain, Jamie and Sophie held a legal service at Chelsea Registry Office. At the time, Spencer, invited to be master of ceremonies at the main event, was on holiday in Portugal during the registry ceremony. His no-show sparked criticism that he had “snubbed” his best friend.

He then tried to defend himself, writing online that both he and wife Vogue weren't invited. Now, addressing the situation again, Spencer told his friend that he was deeply hurt by his decision and was left highly confused by the snub. Spencer said on the podcast: "I have to say, I found it pretty confusing. I was pretty hurt by that, and I tried to brush that under the table.

"And I'm sure it was just like, you know, I don't want to speak for you, but yeah, I'm sure it wasn't malicious from you. Well, at least I'd like to think it wasn't right."

Jamie admitted he had been anxious about the guest list. "I was very anxious, and having a really tough time with anxiety around, you know, getting married."

Ultramarathon snub

The pair's rift even left endurance athlete Spencer skipping Jamie's Ultra Marathon challenge for Comic Relief. The gruelling effort saw Jamie trek from London to Manchester for the charity.

Jamie revealed how the moment affected him, saying he is "sensitive to rejection". After Jamie read out headlines regarding Spencer's shun, Spencer said: " I think at the time that this was all happening, we could have chosen to be about, say, be men about it, but women probably do this too. We could. We could have gone for dinner and just hashed out what the issues were, and we didn't.

"And so then it kind of feels a bit sour, and then we spend days not talking anyway. Because, in reality, you run, God knows how many businesses. Three, I run. Two, I have three children. Like, life is just different now. Like, you know what I mean? I don't have the time that I had before to be across all of my friendships in the same way I am."

He went on: "I'm not a great friend anyway. Like, genuinely, you know there's a few people that I'm in contact with semi regularly, and that's it."

After putting their differences aside, Spencer and Jamie appear to be looking forward to building back up their friendship and getting back to their closeness from decades earlier.
