Mel Schilling asked the pair to talk through the events of the recent weeks – as Matt cheated on his new wife Gemma, 30.
Meanwhile, Whitney’s marriage to Duka, 31, also broke down following the cheating revelation – as Whitney and Matt jumped in bed.
Now, Matt has shared a candid insight into their romance as one fan asked if they are still together or just paired up for airtime in a Q&A.
Matt replied: “I think this is a good question because I want you to put yourself in my shoes for a second.
“You can risk being trolled by the nation and have all this drama and headache, or you just go home.

“It was absolutely not for more airtime. Do you really think I needed any more airtime after the show that just happened?”
Matt added that he “can’t answer” the first part of the question, asking whether he’s still with Whitney.
The reality star also opened up on whether he suspected Whitney was actually his “OG match” after a fan asked.
He said: “There were definitely conversations we had where we were like ‘do you reckon? Do you think? Did they know this was going to happen?’”
Fans were left shocked after the pair were dumped from the show – after disapproval from their co-stars.
Matt’s request didn’t go down well with the other surviving couples, who slammed him for undermining the experiment.
“In my opinion if you and Whitney do stay it discredits the process,” Jordan told the pair, as Matt’s former wife Gemma added: “If you haven’t tried your marriage, why should you get someone new?”
“This is a really complex situation… It’s one we don’t take lightly at all,” expert Mel could be heard saying at the end of the show last night.
MAFS UK fans have also slammed the couple and called them “fake” while they were on the show.
One took to Twitter to rage: “If they allow Whitney and Matt to stay it is pure fake TV and I’ll be raging, I mean I know it’s staged but.”
A second put: “Matt comes across as arrogant, Whitney is so fake, they are a perfect match for each other but no way do they deserve to be allowed back into the experiment.”
A third then insisted: “Nope – this is fake – Whitney and Matt win the Academy Award for Best Bullshitting for the Camera.”
