JAMIE Laing has remained silent on Spencer Matthews big feat at the 2025 London Marathon amid rumours of a bromance breakdown.
Spencer, 36, who has built a reputation in recent years as a fitness enthusiast and adventurer, completed the 26.2 mile challenge this weekend.

Spencer, who last year completed 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert, uploaded a photo dump of him at the event to Instagram.
He captioned the post: “This London Marathon was the best executed run of my life so far, setting a PB in the marathon but also in everything over 16km, averaging 4:14 per km for the first three quarters of the race in unusually hot and tricky conditions.
He continued: “A couple of weeks ago I wasn’t even going to run this race as I was hobbling around on holiday but deep down I knew I’d regret not rolling the dice…
“There was always a chance that I’d have to pull out in the first few km but I was keen to take the risk and on the day everything held up!! The body is an incredible thing!
“Not in my wildest dreams would I even have been thinking about chasing a sub 3 hour marathon in gorgeous sunny London a few years ago.
“Honestly I couldn’t be happier to have taken part and would like to thank you all for the tremendous support,” he added.
Many former co-stars and friends shared messages of support on the post, including wife, Vogue Williams and fellow participant, former Union J star Josh Cuthbert, who commented, “Incredible effort, mate.”
Notably absent from the show of support was best friend Jamie Laing, 36, who despite following Spencer on social media, neither liked nor commented on the post.
Last month, Jamie completed his own gruelling marathon challenge which saw him run 150 miles over five days to raise more than £2million for Comic Relief.
However, many fans noticed that his reality show co-star and self-confessed ‘best friend’ was absent at the finish line.
Spencer has failed to congratulate him publicly since with Jamie returning the favour this time around.
The former reality TV stars have been best pals since joining E4’s hit Made in Chelsea show in the second series in 2011.
However, a fall-out over Jamie’s wedding to Sophie Habboo was publicly aired in 2023, with many left wondering if the row is now flaring once again.
While Spencer had attended the pair’s June wedding in Spain, he wasn’t present at the legal ceremony in London two months prior and was seen on holiday in Portugal with his family instead.
When fans expressed their shock that he had chosen to go overseas instead, he used his podcast with wife Vogue to set the record straight, admitting he was “p***ed off”.
He said: “I’m being hammered for ‘snubbing’ my best friend’s wedding to go on holiday, and then posting about my holiday.
“I’m not here to b***h about my best friends but there’s been some serious miscommunication from him.
He continued: “I just want to set the record straight, more than anything. I’m not here to whinge.
“I was not invited to this part of Jamie’s wedding, and neither was Vogue.”
