Following the revelation, Matt took to Instagram to share a video capturing his parents’ genuine surprise. His mum, Diana, was completely unaware of his involvement in the ITV program. The clip shows Matt, along with his mum and stepdad, sitting together on the sofa as they watch The Masked Singer.
