The 'Made in Chelsea' star beat off strong competition from Olympic gymnast Louis Smith to triumph in a tense final of the Channel 4 show on Sunday (12.03.17).

Spencer's final ski jump was an impressive 18.98 metres, ahead of his closest competitor Louis, who recorded a jump of 18.05 metres.

Spencer's winning jump also broke the previous record, 18:85 metres, set by Sid Owen in 2016.

Jason Robinson and Amy Willerton made up the final four after Emma Parker-Bowles, Lydia Bright and Kadeena Cox were knocked out earlier in the evening.

A shocked Spencer, 27, shouted "Yes, I am so happy", after he was declared the winner.

Meanwhile, Louis, 27, recently revealed that once the show concludes, he will be banned from skiing until after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

He said: "I can't go on skiing holidays while I'm in training. I have the show finishing on March 12, I fly back on the 13th and the 14th I'm back in the gym. So straight back into it, no time to waste.

"The next time I can ski will probably be after the 2020 Games. I will miss skiing but it's not the first time I've had to sacrifice stuff."

And he previously tipped Spencer as his biggest competition, saying: "I don't want to give him a big head, but I said to him: 'If you had dedicated yourself at a young age to a sport, I have no doubt [you] would have been an Olympian. The way he takes things on and understands his body and what he needs to do to improve his technique; like me he learns very quickly, and so I said to him: 'You could have been a very successful sportsman'."
