Spencer Matthews on the tragic family death that spurs him on

Spencer Matthews has revealed the heartbreaking reason he's joining Channel 4’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer. The Made In Chelsea star is going into the tent with Jodie Whittaker, Paloma Faith and Munya Chawawa. Spencer’s uncle Bob died of cancer many years ago and his loss affected him and his family.

She brings so much positive energy to the tent and really helps kind of cut through that tension that one might feel if they were really competitive.”
