Spencer Claridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spencer Claridge, born November 28, 1972 in Bristol, England, is an British television personality best known for his appearance on the program Ed vs. Spencer. In a tie-in with the show, Claridge posed for soft-core pornographic nude photos of himself which are available on the website "English Lads". 1
On the show, Claridge represents the more mature element with his paring with Ed Leigh. He can be thoughtful, sweet natured and currently runs a successful business within the extreme sports industry. He likes to wake up early, he likes to appear well groomed, believing in the merits of punctuality and manners, and wouldn’t be out of place meeting your Mum for tea. This doesn’t mean he is a pushover, but rather a more sophisticated opponent who will beat Ed using his wits as well as his brawn. Perhaps living with Ed keeps his immature side boiling over, however, at the age of 33 he should know better.
Spencer has finally begun to grow up and now prefers the comforts of an office and flat in Brighton, where he lives with Leigh and heads “Soul Sports” a successful events company which invests in the future of winter sports in the UK to the snow-clad mountainous regions of the Alps. One of the founders of the AIM Series, he could also snowboard himself apparently.
In his own words:
“I'm still trying to fill the gap that snowboarding left a little I think. Time wise I substituted it with work but for that adrenalin fix etc. I'm searching. It would naturally have been rugby, as that's what I did before snowboarding, but breaking my knee has ruled that one out, so if anyone has any suggestions...Salsa dancing maybe. I'm down with keeping fit, well actually down with not getting fat. I love watching film, I love the thought of reading, but quite frankly I find it a chore. Books on tapes are the way forward. Love cooking and then eating.”
