During the show Matilda and Roman, 22, played a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid and she was given the options of her ex-boyfriend Sean Stone, Chuggs Wallis and Curtis Pritchard.

Making her feelings clear, she replied: "Avoid Curtis, because he's what I see in my sleep paralysis at the end of my bed."

Matilda then did an impression of Curtis, 29, before appearing to make a confession about her relationship with Sean, 24.

Roman read a question from a listener asking: "Did Matilda actually like Sean?"

After an awkward pause, instead of answering, Matilda chose to take a shot.

And fans were quick to comment on her behaviour, with one writing: "Matilda getting way too big for her boots. Humble yourself.

Someone else wrote: "This is so embarrassing... making a podcast just to bully."

And a third added: "So Matilda you are admitting you were fake in the villa like everyone thought?"

In the most recent All Stars series, Curtis and girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu had an ongoing feud with Matilda and Roman's pals and fellow Towie stars Elma Pazar and Sammy Root.

And one fan was quick to point this out following the podcast, writing: "Found out they’re besties with Elma and Sammy bullies themselves so not surprised this is how they act."

Matilda and Sean got together during the 2024 summer series of Love Island.

They ended up coming third in the final but faced criticism from fans along the way.

Viewers were left convinced Matilda was "faking" her feelings for Sean during an awkward conversation.

After Sean told Matilda "I love you", she remained silent which prompted him to add: "I feel like we're heading in that direction."

Matilda then replied: "Ummm, I feel like that."

One fan commented at the time: "So Matilda tells the girls that she’s catching the feels but pies Sean’s ’love u’ comment, seems like Tilda is more calculated than most thought."

And someone else aid: "I’m sorry I don’t believe Matilda really likes Sean I feel like she’s faking it harddd."

 

Matilda and Sean split just weeks after leaving the villa.

In January she made her Towie debut after getting together with Roman.
