Previously speaking to Seann Walsh, Boy George said: "Can’t stand Matt. I have tried to like him and I’ve failed. I find him slimy, I find him slippery. I find him just… I made a joke about chocolate. He just looked at me like… I wanted to say, ‘What are you looking at? Don’t you look at me like that?’ I’ve tried to separate what I feel about him from who he is as a person, but I can’t."

Boy George later told Matt: "I was making a joke about the chocolate. For god’s sake, I was like… let’s have a bit of fun. I didn’t like the way you looked at me. I made a joke and you were like…”
Matt replied: "Oh no, I wasn’t… that wasn’t my intention… I’m really sorry about that. That wasn’t my intention at all." He apologised again, adding: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable."

He later told Matt: "I just feel everyone’s trying to be too nice. It’s getting on my [expletive]. I don’t want arguments… I’m just like come on guys, have a laugh. I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant… I have been hating on you, I have to be honest. I sometimes feel like you don’t say what you mean and you’re not particularly direct."
