Made in Chelsea stars Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing crumple during Chelsea cricket tug of war contest

Made in Chelsea stars Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing batted alongside England international Jade Dernbach in a cricket invitational at the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Saturday.

The match pitted sides representing London nightclubs, Bodos Schloss and Raffles, against each other in a bid to raise the profile of local brands.

Dernbach, who will be hoping to earn a place in England’s 2015 World Cup squad, put in an impressive performance out on the field.

“He’s absolutely amazing,” Spencer said when asked about the England and Surrey player.

“He seems to bowl someone out every time he throws a ball.”

Jamie added that despite being in the presence of cricket pros the reality stars were holding their own.

He said: “Spencer managed to get someone out with his first ball!”

But Spencer, sporting an unseasonal woolly hat, was keen to downplay the reality pair’s cricketing skills.

He added: “To be honest, we like sport but we’re not massively into it.”

Throughout breaks in play on Saturday MIC stars, including former I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! contestant, Hugo Taylor, could be seen sampling the champagne popsicles on offer.

They even found the time to participate in a lunchtime tug of war, which, to the delight of the surrounding spectators, ended in seconds with Jamie and Spencer’s team sprawled in a heap on the floor.

Funds for hiring out the pitch during the invitational will go towards the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
