Matt has made no secret of his desire to find love. He has been linked with singer Rebecca Ferguson in recent months, but he told MailOnline at the BBC Music Awards on Monday night that he was still single. 

'That just took on a life of its own,' he said of the rumours. 'I know Rebecca, we spoke today and she's lovely.

'But I'm single and the good thing is it's a nice feeling when you meet someone, especially as lovely as Rebecca, and you talk, but that happens at our pace and not anyone else's.'
