He is there with his girlfriend, who is understood to be singer-songwriter FKA Twigs, and drummer and song-writing partner George Daniel.

Matty lives in west London but ended up in East Anglia as lockdown was introduced while he was holidaying in Suffolk with his girlfriend and they have since moved to a temporary Norfolk home, with Matty’s Instagram posts showing him surrounded by open fields.
