The video then cut to Matty being interviewed by Soni on DWTS following one of his performances.

As she held the microphone out for him to talk into, Matty placed his hand over hers, and momentarily tried to wrangle the mic from her.

But Sonia held on firmly, and eventually Matty gave up and dropped his hand back down to his side.

‘Time fixes everything. When we know better, we do better,’ commented Matty’s fiancée, Laura Byrne.

Added Sonia: ‘I’ve got a pretty firm grip.’

Replying to her comment, Matty promised Sonia that he’d ‘never attempt this type of outrageous behaviour again’.
