They recently reunited on screens as Netflix’s hit show Love Is Blind came to the UK for the first time, with Matt and Emma hosting.

And speaking on his podcast, On The Mend, Matt opened up on his initial fears about working together.

He said: “We are working a lot together which is… you know, I was worried at one point when we started working together again that it might be a stress on our relationship.

“But it’s only been beneficial and it’s only been another little core thing that we do. It’s awesome.”

But Emma said: “He’s too hard on himself. He was really professional and prepared. He approached it like an actor, because that’s one of the things he does.

“Matt learned the script from top to bottom. I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m going to look like a real amateur because I haven’t learned anything!'”
