Matthew was asked if there could have been a romantic connection with any of the other girls.
He admitted, "I felt like it was pretty much Kaz from the start."
"I did like Millie if I’m honest but I didn’t want to get involved in that situation and I’m happy I didn’t because we’re good friends and I love Liam."
He also reckons Liam and Millie have a strong chance of winning Love Island 2021.
Matthew said, "I think Jake and Lib, Millie and Liam have the strongest connection."
"You see in the villa first hand just how close both of those couples are."

The Islander also touched a bit on his relationship with Kaz, "I felt me and Kaz had a really good connection."
"She’s an amazing girl and I think we’re going to be great friends."
"The more I saw her and Tyler, they had so much of a better connection than me and Kaz had so I’m happy for both of them because they’re great people."

Matthew was also asked how he felt when Priya chose to recouple with Brett over him.
"It definitely took me by surprise," he admitted.
"I felt like she was honest with me at certain times and then she wasn’t at other times."
"I only knew her for a certain amount of time and you can’t understand a person fully in that time."
Matthew added that he's incredibly proud of himself for taking part in the show.
"Ultimately, the outstanding emotion I get is that I’m proud," he said.

"I don’t change for anybody and I stayed true to myself so I suppose resilience."
"I’ve definitely become a better person and I’m open to change."
No regrets

"You learn from what you go through and I’m very proud of myself and how I’ve acted and how I’ve treated people."
"I think the course of action I took led me to where I am now and I’m happy with where I am."
