Last night heatworld went to the NTAs and we can honestly say we had the time of our lives.

Our night got even better when we arrived at the after-party and spotted all the Love Island stars from series 11, so of course when we saw Matilda Draper we had to ask about her break up with Sean Stone.

Speaking exclusively to heat, Matilda said, 'Me and Sean are literally best friends. We're so close. We've got no beef at all.

'It just was not working because we're so busy - I've got my thing and he's doing his thing and that's literally it. We still speak all the time. We're so close.'

She added, 'I love him to bits and I always will. He's one of my really good friends.'

Well, that's that then.

Matilda opening up comes after she reunited with Diamanté Laiva who posted a photo of them with the caption, 'We’re like… so in love! 😍✨' - just hours after Sean and Matilda split.

LOL.

If you cast your mind back a few months you might remember when Matilda and Diamanté came to blows around the fire pit. It all kicked off when Sean chose to stick with Matilda despite snogging Diamanté and Ruby Dale throughout Casa Amor.

When Diamanté exposed Sean's antics, things got a little awkward between the girls.

After Diamanté asked, 'It's a bit weird how you can tell someone they're your priority and this is how you treat your priority,' Matilda hit back and said, 'You're not sat here, babe.'

Diamanté then said, 'You can have him, it's fine, because he's just going to do the same thing to you.'

Ouch.

Luckily they ladies have put all the drama behind them and seem to be pals. Love that for them.
