Spencer Matthews breaks silence as Finding Michael is released after delay
No official reason had been given for the change in release date.
Spencer Matthews's heartbreaking documentary Finding Michael has finally been released on Disney Plus after an unexpected delay – with the reality TV star thanking fans for their patience.
The former Made in Chelsea cast member took to Instagram to alert his followers to the fact that the programme – which was initially intended to debut on Friday 3rd March – was now available to watch on the streamer in the UK and Ireland.
"Thank you so much for your patience and overwhelming support," he wrote. "Really proud to be sharing Michael's story with you all..."

The documentary details Matthews's mission to recover his brother’s body from Mount Everest where he disappeared in 1999, just three days after becoming the youngest ever Briton to reach the summit aged 22.
He is joined by British adventurer Bear Grylls and mountaineer Nims Purja for the programme, which Matthews told RadioTimes.com helped him "understand who my brother was".
