Mat also later opened up about their split, saying he ‘felt uncomfortable around her.’

“It massively bothered me that we had nothing in common,” she said.

“I like to party, she doesn’t drink. I like to sleep with an open window, she likes 500 blankets. We don’t even like the same fruits! We’re very different people.”
