According to the
Daily Express, the shell-shocking documents included claims that his extra-marital affairs were “not contestable.” Law firm Shillings is accusing him of having numerous affairs during his first marriage.

Spencer issued a writ against firm Shillings claiming they mishandled a libel suit he filed against a newspaper a decade ago.
The firm is now arguing, however, saying the allegations they’ve made against him are "substantially justified.”
In his writ, Spencer is arguing that because the libel action was not done properly, the newspaper could repeat the claims seven years late

However, if he did purse the 2010 claims, Shillings claimed it would have "caused further and greater reputational damage" as the paper’s legal team "damaging evidence to prove the allegations".
It read: "The claimant's reputation as a husband and father was so bad as to be worthless. Criticisms of the claimant which were either not contested or not contestable.”

The firm added, "That he had several adulterous relationships during his marriage to his first wife."
The hearing on this matter is set to begin later in 2019.
