Matthew Thompson shared the news on Twitter over the weekend

He wrote: “Well. I came home from a 14 hour day at work yesterday to find there had been a large fire in my flat.

“It is currently uninhabitable. Seems our @nutribullet spontaneously burst into flames. How’s your weekend going?”

He continued: “The real challenge is that this country comes to a full scale halt on a weekend.

“@LondonFire can’t tell me what happened until Monday. Buildings insurance @McLarensGlobal are unreachable.

“I am homeless, have no idea why my flat has caught fire, and the collective response is [shrug emoji].”

Fellow journalist Matthew Stadlen replied: “Very sorry to hear this.”

While another follower added: “I’m sorry to hear that Matthew, it must be horrible to arrive home to that.”

A third tweeted: “Jesus Matt that’s awful. Hope you and the family are ok.”

Meanwhile a fourth shared: “So sorry to read this – what an awful set of circumstances. Best wishes for everything.”

Last month, Matthew revealed he had become a father during an appearance on Kay Burley’s Sky News show.
