SPENCER Matthews left his five-day-old baby boy at home with wife Vogue Williams as he took part in the London half-marathon on Sunday.
The couple welcomed their fourth child last week but duty called for Spencer as he was forced to have some time apart from his little one to compete in the long-distance foot race.

The former Made in Chelsea star managed to complete the half-marathon in an impressive personal best time of 1:23:05 and no doubt raced home to be with his family afterwards.
Speaking after his huge achievement, the 38-year-old expressed: “Running completely changed my life.
“It gives me something outside of work and family to strive towards and chip away at.
“I think for me, who spent a lot of their adult life like a little bit lost and without purpose, it’s really helpful to me to have this kind of structure in my life.

“And there’s nothing more satisfying than feeling proud of yourself. It’s a really underrated feeling.
“So you know, I feel proud of myself today. But I love chipping away at the goal. It means a lot to me, and it’s completely transformed my life.”
He later took to Instagram to share pictures of him wearing his medal as he gushed: “THE BIG HALF! 1:23:05 official chip time. 3:54/km average pace.
“First time racing a half, with PBs in 15 KM, 10 miles, 20 KM and the half marathon.’

“Today was supposed to be a hard session (not an all-out race) and an assessment of where we are before the Berlin and Valencia marathons.
“This run was tough, harder than expected, but it was rewarding. Overall I’m proud of the result on a hot and hilly course. The road to 2:45:00 continues.”
He previously completed 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days across the Jordanian desert as part of The Great Desert Challenge in 2024.
The daredevil raised a whopping six-figure sum in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise, which supports small charities across the UK.
Spencer and Vogue, 40, welcomed their baby boy last week as they took to social media to confirm his arrival.
They penned: “Our beautiful baby boy has arrived safely…
“The house is bursting with excitement, love and happiness and we couldn’t be more delighted.”
Just days later, they revealed his name to be Remy Valentine Matthews.
Vogue adorably captured her baby son dressed in a blue cardigan for the first picture.
