In a profile for Radio Times, Matthew said of his upcoming entry to the villa and possible romantic rivalries: “I won’t have much of a problem with stepping on toes. The guys haven’t known the girls that long so it’s not really a huge issue. I’m sure if they have a problem they’ll approach me.”

He is entering the show as part of Casa Amor, in which the guys and girls in the show are split for several days and newcomers are introduced in a bid to stir drama among the show’s established couples.

He joins fellow Irish newcomers Salma Naran and Kaila Troy, both from Dublin.
