Spencer Matthews has hit back at concerns that he is “too thin” and “looks sick” following his shirtless pic.
The former Made In Chelsea star is currently training for an endurance run and has earned a ripped physique as a result.
However, some of Spencer’s fans were concerned about his weight loss and some even asked why he was “punishing” himself.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the CleanCo founder told his followers that he is in the best shape of his life and to stop commenting on other people’s appearance.
He wrote: “Every single day on this platform, women write to me expressing concern for my appearance. They say that I’m too think and that I look sick… One asked why I’m ‘punishing my body” and most say ‘hope you’re ok??'”
“This is a quick note to say that your concern is misplaced and the delivery of that concern is unhealthy. I am fit, well, and above all, really happy.”
“In fact, I’m the healthiest I have ever been – enjoying a discisplined routine and am driven with clear goals, training for a World Record endurance run which will hopefully raise a substantial amount of money for people who need it.”
“Training for this challenge is NOT punishment, its PROGRESS….”
“Please don’t mistake me pushing myself physically as being unhealthy… It’s not. It’s exciting and in my case, makes me feel alive and full of purpose.”
“Not once did I ever receive a single message of ‘concern’ when I was a huge problem drinker – overweight and drastically unhealthy. I wouldn’t have wanted it then and I certainly don’t want it now.”
“It’s really simple – don’t comment on anyone’s appearance. If someone looks different there is probably a reason for that.”
“Mine is that I found a healthy lifestyle.”
Spencer’s wife Vogue Williams commented on the post and said: “I think you’re deadly❤️”
Jamie Laing, Spencer’s former MIC co-star also left a message of support for the reality star and commented a “❤️.”
Fans took to the comments and wrote: “Cannot fathom why people would message that?! You look healthy but even if not … erm not appropriate.”
Another wrote: “Louder for the people in the back. Why anyone feels the need to comment on someones appearance is bizarre!”
A third penned: “Well done & well said!!! People only ever comment when the weight is lost and feel it’s ok to do so. You look fantastic.”
