Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews had "harboured a lot of resentment" over the "mistakes" made by rescuers who'd failed to save his brother Michael following a mountaineering adventure. Michael, who was 12 years his senior, disappeared without a trace while descending Mount Everest 25 years ago - and his body has never been found.
During an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the TV star opened up about how exploring his faith and spirituality for a BBC series helped him resolve his feelings. "I worked through the resentment quite a lot while I was at base camp for five weeks. That was the first time I properly discussed it with people who weren't in my family," Spencer explained.
He also confessed: "I wish I could break down in tears." Speaking in a broader sense about his emotions, he admitted he'd grown up with a strict Northern father from Sheffield, who had such a stiff upper lip that, during childhood, he'd never cried.
"I realise when I say these things it sounds like he was cruel to me, but he wasn't - he was just a general Northern man," Spencer shared. "He wasn't nasty. I didn't grow up fearing my dad. It's just that if we could put on a strong face then we were taught to do that.
"I don't mind crying in front of people - if the waterworks would come, I'd give them to you!" he exclaimed, before admitting that, usually, the tears simply didn't come. "I had one emotional breakthrough in my life when I pushed my physicality to its very end. I was coming back from an ultra-race in the Amazon Jungle and I wailed on the plane for 45 minutes for no reason at all," he explained.
