Spencer Matthews stars in a new documentary in which he embarks on “one of the highest search missions” ever to find his older brother Michael, who disappeared on Mount Everest in 1999. With the help of survivalist Bear Grylls and record-breaking mountaineer Nirmal “Nims” Purja, Spencer, 34, attempts to find Michael’s body, which was never recovered from the mountain.
Michael Matthews became the youngest Briton to reach the summit of Everest at the age of 22, but disappeared on the mountain just three hours later. The trailer for the Disney+ feature-length film begins with former Made in Chelsea star Spencer looking at a picture of his brother wearing a red ski jacket, saying: “I hate the picture. All I see is a young man in the process of losing his life.”
He continues: “Michael was my big brother. 20 odd years later we are sent this photograph of a body, it looks like it could be Michael. My heart says we should go and find him. And if we can, bring him home.
