Ben Shepherd, co-presenter of Good Morning Britain, asked: ‘Did Jamie forget to actually invite you?’
Spencer replied, “I think he did. He thought I was gone. He didn’t think it was much of a problem. I would have come, of course, but whatever, it is what it is.
‘This weekend is the big day, I’m master of ceremonies. I look forward.’
Spencer, who was part of the original cast of Made In Chelsea with Jamie, added: “I’m very proud of Jamie, we’re very close and I’m very happy for him.”

Sophie told MailOnline: ‘Of course Spencer will be at our Spanish wedding.
“The drama with Spencer… it was so stupid of Jamie, he’s just so disorganized and it all changed at the last minute.
“Originally it was just close family and obviously Spencer was gone. I felt so sorry for them both, and Jamie felt so awful.
“We are both so disorganized and it was always meant to be a very intimate and small wedding, but we changed it at the last minute.
“Essentially it was my bridesmaids and his best men and then two of our best friends who are pregnant and can’t make the Spanish wedding, so it looked like there were a lot more people and there was.
