Spencer Matthews has been given the Guinness World Record after successfully completing a challenging 30-marathon desert fundraiser, raising more than £511,000.

The ex-reality TV star from Made In Chelsea, who is now 36 years old, returned to Global HQ for the Heart Breakfast show on Friday. This was after completing an impressive challenge of running 30 marathons in 30 days under the blazing hot sun of the Jordanian desert.

The person in charge confirmed: "After reviewing your proof, I can officially declare that you have completed 30 marathon distances on sand in one month, setting a new Guinness World Record. Congratulations on being officially recognized as amazing!"

As everyone in the room clapped, Spencer playfully said: 'I really appreciate it. I couldn't help but imagine how uncomfortable it would have been if he had said, "well, actually, you fell a little short".'

'Can we agree that this is the most difficult task you've ever faced?' JK inquired.

'Without a doubt,' Spencer agreed, 'Both physically and mentally, it was truly one of the best experiences I've had. I will never forget it and will always cherish the memories.'

'It was difficult, do you understand?'

He expressed feeling very shocked and said, "It's crazy. Honestly, while I was running, the charities were a huge motivation for me."

Additionally, as previously mentioned, the help and kindness demonstrated during the challenge was truly incredible.

When the amazing amount of money raised was revealed, Spencer shouted: "Wow! It has gone way up high!"

Spencer said, "In every way, it was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had, and I will always cherish and remember it with great fondness."

Even the messages I receive on social media have touched me in a way I have never experienced before. The support I have felt is beyond anything I have ever known. I am truly grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Spencer is optimistic that the donations will keep coming in. He stated, "I view this as only the beginning. I'm confident we will continue fundraising for a few more weeks."

I will brainstorm ideas on how to keep generating funds for these amazing causes and the important work that Global's Make Some Noise carries out.

If you haven't already contributed, please think about making a donation. Every dollar you give can have a huge impact on deserving families and children who truly need assistance. Please take it into consideration.

Although he pushed his body to its maximum and endured a rigorous training schedule for this remarkable accomplishment, Spencer is not finished yet. He is already strategizing for another world record.

In an interview with The Mail after completing the marathon, the TV personality shared that besides his marriage to Vogue Williams and their three kids, the charity marathons were his most significant accomplishments both physically and mentally.

He said: "If you're not counting things like raising children or finding the perfect spouse, then yes, starting my business was definitely a significant physical and mental accomplishment."

Spencer took on a huge challenge in the desert, running over 42.2km or 26.2 miles every day.

This accomplishment ranks as one of the most fulfilling moments of my life.

Spencer is eager to expand his marathon experience and add more races to his already impressive resume. However, he is unsure of the specific role or capacity he wants to pursue next.

He said that he will definitely attempt to break another world record in the future. He mentioned that he is 36 years old and has enjoyed the experience so far. He confirmed that he plans to continue participating in this area.

I'm not sure how it will turn out, but the inspiration for this project suddenly struck me one night.

He explained his first idea for his 30 marathon challenge like this: 'I was thinking about it, and then it hit me, this is what I want to do. So we started working on it right away. I haven't had another moment like that, but I think I might in a few months.'

Currently, he is happy to relax and indulge in his favorite meal while taking care of himself at home.

He shared his initial plans, stating, "I'm going to head home and most likely take a shower. I have a dinner planned with my brother-in-law on Thursday night - we're getting takeout. I'm really excited about it."

My top pick for dining in London is Strakers and Dorian, but keep this between us since they are right beside each other.

He said: 'This has been a wonderful journey. I don't want to move on from this. I'm eager to continue.'

Throughout his long-distance race, he ate a boiled goat's head and has shed ten kilograms of weight.
