Not long after they called it quits Love Island's Sean and Matilda had to dodge each other on the NTAs red carpet during an awkward run in.

Ahead of the National Television Awards Sean Stone said he was "a bit nervous", which is understandable as he was set to see his ex Matilda Draper for the first time since they split.

After meeting on Love Island 2024 and coming third, Sean and Matilda called it quits due to their busy schedules.

Sean showed his fans a transformation video ahead of the NTAs where he clean shaved his face and one of his fans commented: "Will tomorrow be your first contact with Matilda since the split? Hope all goes well."

This comes after Sean hinted that "down the line" there might be a chance for them to reconcile.

Speaking to his followers he said: “So coming out, we have tried to make it work but she’s super busy, I’m super busy, it’s just one of those things really and, you know what? I wish her all the best. She’s gonna absolutely smash it and, you never know, down the line... just gotta see what happens.”

He signed off: “But right now it’s for the best.”

Apart from her initial statement Matilda hasn't said anything more on the split. But in a celebration of being single she posted a TikTok of her and Harriett Blackmore with the caption, 'WHEN YOUR BESTIE IS SINGLE WITH YOU', which broke the news that Harriett had split from Ronnie Vint.
