Awkward Red Carpet Moment Shakes Made in Chelsea

It was a highly awkward moment for everyone who witnessed it.

On Sunday, attended the TV Baftas, walking the red carpet with his wife, , who is pregnant with their fourth child together.

The couple, who have been married for almost eight years, chatted to the press, plugging their latest projects before joining the queue for paparazzi pictures.

Suddenly, a face from Spencer’s past appeared behind. His former co-star, , arrived in a dazzling £465 gold two-piece from the Australian label, Arcina Ori.

Instead of greeting his fellow MIC alumnus, however, Spencer walked straight past her to speak to the ’s , who interviewed him two years ago for a documentary.

Millie, seemingly put out by his reaction, busied herself by checking her makeup in a phone screen while Spencer returned back to his waiting wife.

For many, his apparent snub will come as a surprise.

After all, the father-of-three was best man at Millie’s 2018 lavish wedding in West Sussex to Hugo Taylor and the favour was returned at Spencer’s nuptials to Vogue on his family’s Glen Affric Estate in Scotland that same year.

Sunglasses designer Hugo, 39, and Spencer had been inseparable during their years on Made in Chelsea, which first aired in 2011 and followed the lavish lives of young West London socialites.

Hugo quit the E4 show in 2012 after only a year, followed closely by Millie and then Spencer, who announced he was leaving for good in 2016.

Despite the revelations in February that Millie and Hugo were divorcing after seven years of marriage, according to insiders, loyalty to his best man was not the reason behind Spencer .

For those who run in TV circles, it comes as no surprise that the social media personality blanked a figure from his Made in Chelsea past. Insiders tell me: ‘Spencer has made a point of distancing himself from them all.’

A source close to the situation says: ‘He is no longer friends with any of them. Even his best friends on the show are no longer around, he and Hugo have grown distant and he is nowhere near as close with Jamie [Laing].’

According to the source, Vogue has had a hand in this separation from his debauched past, preferring to ‘keep him on the straight and narrow’.

The source explains: ‘Vogue hasn’t really made an effort to get to know any of the old gang outside of events and it’s put a strain on Spencer’s relationship with them all.’

Fans of the Channel 4 reality series, which is now in its 31st season, will remember Spencer as the show’s most notorious love rat, constantly cheating on his girlfriends and drinking copious amounts of alcohol at high-end events.

Spencer is no longer as close as he was to MIC pals Hugo Taylor and Jamie Laing
