Matty’s aren’t the only family to wade in – Naughty Boy’s also spoke out about the music producer’s struggles.
They responded to DanRavenscroft9 who wrote in defence of Naughty Boy: “I’ve got to be honest, I’m not comfortable with the reaction to Naughty Boy on here.
“To me, it appears like he has some deep rooted issues with himself and may not be mentally prepared to deal with the show and the failure #ImACeleb.”
Writing on the social media site, Naughty Boy’s family wrote: “This! If only everyone knew what he’s battling on the outside world”
“His mum (my nan) is battling dementia and he has been taking care of her for the last 5 years.
“This is the first time he has left her to do something life-changing! He is just overwhelmed and he will be fine.”
