Matt is equally as supportive of Sam, and previously shared his disbelief that she is dating him.

He told The Sun: ‘As if I’m subtle about having a girlfriend who is a supermodel. When I’ve had a few drinks in the pub, I go, ”Look, that’s her in that advert!” It’s brilliant.’

Sam has walked the catwalk many times for high fashion brands like Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs.

Matt previously added: ‘For years, when I started doing comedy, I worked in Next for a really, really long time. And then, I kind of went away, kind of did comedy, got on telly, whatever.

‘And then, Sam, a couple of years ago, was the Next girl. She was on the front of the book. And you’d go into Next, and there would be huge pictures of her all around Next.

‘And I was back in my hometown in the Next I worked in and they’re like, ‘Oh my god mate, haven’t seen you for years, how’s life?’

‘And, like an a***hole, I went, ‘Yes it’s alright, I live with her now,’ pointing at the picture.

‘What a d***head, but there we go. But because everyone is so English, they were just like ”Oh yeah… you’re an a***hole.”

In 2021, Matt landed a spot in the Dancing On Ice lineup with professional partner Vicky Ogden after Rufus Hound was forced to pull out.

Unfortunately, he was eliminated after just one week on the show, where he took a nasty tumble during his performance. 

At the time, Matt admitted that he was on the brink of quitting showbusiness.

He said: ‘I was looking at a career change or to just leave the industry altogether, because it’s tough times.

‘I am of a level where I’m on TV, but I’m not a big, huge name. It’s not like I’ve got stacks of cash lying around. I am currently skint because I’ve not worked a year.’
