Spencer Matthews suspects he's a 'psychopath'
Made in Chelsea lothario Spencer Matthews has been diagnosed as being a huge show-off with a lack of empathy.
The brother-in-law of Pippa Middleton, who is dating model Vogue Williams, was taking part in a Celebrity Psych Test, organised by All4.
But while co-star Jamie Laing had ‘a huge interest in others and a great deal of empathy’, Spencer was ‘much less interested in other people’.

'Show off': Made in Chelsea lothario Spencer Matthews has been diagnosed as being a huge show-off with a lack of empathy whilst taking part in Celebrity Psych Test
Speaking to psychotherapist Lee Valls, Spencer, 28, said: ‘It’s not a very nice thing to not have empathy.
‘I would like to have empathy. In the past I haven’t been very empathetic with other people.
‘If I’m chatting to someone who’s an anxious wreck and I don’t understand it, because I’ve never been anxious, then it’s strange.
‘There’s no real way of talking to them about it without saying I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. I’m better than you.’

Different: Spencer appears on the show with co-star Jamie Laing who has ‘a huge interest in others and a great deal of empathy’, whilst Spencer was ‘much less interested in other people’
However when Valls suggested that he was ‘aware of other people’s anxiety’ and ‘trying to understand it’, Spencer admitted he was working on it.
‘I do have a bit of empathy I suppose,’ he added, ‘but it has come more recently as I’m knocking on 30’s door and I think I’m getting there.’
The duo, who became friends when they worked on the reality TV show, were reunited for a series of psychological tests as part of a series for All4.
They were analysed for various personality traits including emotional stability, friendliness, and whether they were attention seekers.

‘I suspect I’ll probably come out of this being told that I’m a psychopath,’ said Spencer.
But he was delighted that he and Jamie both shared one extreme personality trait. Unsurprising to Made in Chelsea fans, they are both massive show-offs.
Now he has vowed to work on his empathy. ‘Now I’ve discovered that I have got some empathy, I will probably work on that,’ he said.
‘I will try and become a very empathetic person because I do think that’s a nice trait.’
Celebrity Psych Test is on All4 on Monday.
