The 28-year-old singer, who was booted off X Factor, last weekend, has hit the headlines recently with a lot of speculation over his love life.
This includes sending naughty messages to TOWIE's Chloe Sims and getting flirty with Made In Chelsea babe Daisy Robbins.
However, the biggest rumour was that he hooked up with fellow contestant Grace Davies, who has made it to the X Factor final this weekend.
It is claimed the Essex lad and Grace had a bit of fun together, but that it is "nothing serious".
Daily Star Online questioned Matt on the rumours at the Urban Music Awards this week.

However, the trained plasterer was remaining coy over the situation.
He told us: "When you're doing a show like X Factor, there's always speculation.
"I'm not used to it, you need to take things with a pinch of salt."
Hmm, not giving much away there, was he?
What the hunk did tell us though is that he doesn't want Grace, 20, to win.

That's because he's backing his boy Kevin Davy White, who Grace will be competing against alongside Watford band Rak-Su.
Matt told us: "I want Kevin to win. I think they're all great, but Kevin's such a nice bloke and I spent more time with him out of everyone."
When it comes to Matt's exit from the show, he's not feeling downhearted.
The dad exclaimed: "I'm buzzing about the whole thing. I would have loved to be at the final but I'm really proud of myself at where I came.
"When I started it, I never thought I'd get as far as I did."

Matt said he's been given a lot of advice from mentor Nicole Scherzinger.
He also said he thinks show boss Simon Cowell "liked what I did" and he is even hoping for a record deal from his label Syco.
Matt continued: "We'll see what happens after this if the label want to sign me.
"It's still all a bit in limbo."
Hmm, we may not have seen the last of him yet then.
