During the show Matilda and Roman, 22, played a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid and she was given the options of her ex-boyfriend Sean Stone, Chuggs Wallis and Curtis Pritchard.
Making her feelings clear, she replied: "Avoid Curtis, because he's what I see in my sleep paralysis at the end of my bed."
Matilda then did an impression of Curtis, 29, before appearing to make a confession about her relationship with Sean, 24.
Roman read a question from a listener asking: "Did Matilda actually like Sean?"
After an awkward pause, instead of answering, Matilda chose to take a shot.
And fans were quick to comment her behaviour, with one writing: "Matilda getting way too big for her boots. Humble yourself.
Someone else wrote: "This is so embarrassing... making a podcast just to bully."
In the most recent All Stars series, Curtis and girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu had an ongoing feud with Matilda and Roman's pals and fellow Towie stars Elma Pazar and Sammy Root.
And one fan was quick to point this out following the podcast, writing: "Found out they're besties with Elma and Sammy bullies themselves so not suprised this is how they act."
Watch moment Love Island's Matilda Draper makes Towie debut with boyfriend Roman Hackett after Sean Stone swipe
Matilda and Sean got together during the 2024 summer series of Love Island.
They ended up coming third in the final but faced criticism from fans along the way.
Viewers were left convinced Matilda was "faking" her feelings for Sean during an awkward conversation.
After Sean told Matilda "I love you", she remained silent which prompted him to add: "I feel like we're heading in that direction."
Matilda then replied: "Ummm, I feel like that."
One fan commented at the time: "So Matilda tells the girls that she's catching the feels but pies Sean's 'love u' comment, seems like Tilda is more calculated than most thought."
And someone else aid: "I'm sorry I don't believe Matilda really likes Sean I feel like she's faking it harddd."
Matilda and Sean split just weeks after leaving the villa.
In January she made her Towie debut after getting together with Roman.

Love Island's Meg and Dejon vow to 'prove everyone wrong' after Maya Jama grilling
Dumped Love Island stars Meg and Dejon have spoken out about their time in the villa after they were brutally dumped by ex-Islanders just days before the final Meg and Dejon were the only Love Island couple to stay together since day one, however they failed to make it to the end after being brutally dumped by their fellow Islanders last night. On Friday night, Megan and Conor were dumped from the villa after receiving the least amount of votes for the most compatible couple. However, it didn't stop there. Last night, it was revealed that Meg and Dejon and Ty and Angel were also vulnerable after the public vote. However, their fate was decided by the ex-Islanders who made a dramatic arrival back to the villa. It was a close call - but in the end it was Meg and Dejon who received the most votes. It came after the couple had a huge argument during their final date, with Casa Amor bombshell Andrada pointing out that Dejon was "aware of the cameras" before making the decision to dump them. Despite looking downcast - Meg and Dejon have now revealed they "weren't surprised" that they were dumped days before the final. Speaking on the argument, Dejon said: "I wasn't shocked to leave because of the timing of mine and Meg's argument that we had. I knew people might not like that, so I wasn't shocked to leave, but I know what we have is real and in real relationships you have disagreements. I'm still grateful for our experience and I wouldn't have changed it." Echoing his statement, Meg added: "We weren't shocked, especially being so close to the end and how things had ended after our date. As soon as we saw the former Islanders come back, we knew we would be going. All the couples are very compatible so it was a case of all being in it together and knowing we would all see each other again in a day's time." Maya Jama herself wasn't letting Dejon getting off lightly, telling him he was "obviously very aware of the cameras" as they were dumped from the Island. During Aftersun, the host asked if he understood why some people may have thought he had a game plan, to which he added: "Yeah, definitely. "Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was," as he continued: "It was always Meg." Despite this - Meg and Dejon say they're desperate to prove everyone wrong, and are even thinking about moving in together. Asked what was next, Meg said: "Proving to everyone we are actually going to stay together! Spending time together and introducing one another to family and friends." "I definitely want to have a conversation with her family, get to know them and have her meet my family so they can see the real us. "A lot of the Islanders saw how genuine we were and I have no doubt it will be like that with our families. After that hopefully we can move in together as I can't imagine not living with her," Dejon said.

Mariah Carey at Brighton Pride review – even the shirtless dancers can't distract from how stop-start this is
Mariah Carey famously said she doesn't acknowledge the 'passage of time', so true to form, she arrives to headline at Brighton Pride five years after she was originally scheduled to appear. The delay clearly hasn't put off the throngs of devoted Lambs (Carey's stans), displaying their fandom with T-shirts referencing other quotes from the diva such as 'I don't know her' and 'I don't have time for the rigmarole'. Carey appears wearing a trans flag-inspired pink, blue and white minidress and a leather jacket embroidered with the slogan 'Protect the Dolls'. The opening is relentless as she storms through snippets of Type Dangerous, Emotions, Make It Happen, I'll Be There, Vision of Love and Dreamlover. While her voice is not as pristine as it once was, her whistle register is still intact and thrills the crowd every time. After that promising start, the show falters with a setlist that hurries Carey – and the crowd – through some of her biggest hits. Fantasy is sloppy and rushed, with only one verse and chorus (plus the Ol' Dirty Bastard rap, piped in), while a Heartbreaker/Honey mashup is similarly cut short. The crowd are eager to carry her, but even with knowing every word they struggle to keep up with the stop-start pacing. After an outfit change, covered by the first of many drum fills and dance breaks, Carey returns for #Beautiful, her 2013 duet with Miguel, which she rarely performs, exciting those fans (and there seem to be many) who have been tracking her recent setlists. She follows it up with a swaggering rendition of Obsessed – widely understood as her diss track of Eminem – and a playful Touch My Body, which marks the show hitting its peak. A glam moment during Say Somethin', where the singer's hair and makeup team come on stage mid-performance to do touchups, is as camp and silly as you'd expect from a diva such as Carey. But after another leisurely outfit change (into the next of a series of sparkly minidresses), the interludes really start to drag, and people begin to drift away. There's no number of energetic shirtless male dancers who can keep the crowd entertained while Carey is frequently off stage and then, when she returns, increasingly going through the motions. It's a shame, as the closing numbers feature four of Carey's best songs from 2005's The Emancipation of Mimi, including We Belong Together and Fly Like a Bird, but by this point many have lost interest or legged it for the train home. To anyone who thought Brighton Pride would be too small a stage for her to bring her best, Carey proved that she's still got it, but she could have probably given a little more.

Celebrity SAS chaos as two stars walk out during first episode
Celebrity SAS chaos as two stars walk out during first episode Two celebrities were seen exiting the Channel 4 series Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, despite the show only just beginning Hannah Spearritt quit Celebrity SAS (Image: Channel 4) Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins was plunged into turmoil on Sunday (3 August) as a pair of celebrities withdrew during the opening episode. The Channel 4 military challenge programme made its return on Sunday night, though proceedings didn't unfold as anticipated. Fourteen famous participants, featuring Love Island personalities Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, alongside X Factor veteran Lucy Spraggan and footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa among others, faced gruelling tests under the watchful eyes of Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver. An early challenge transported the recruits to a derelict facility for what was branded the 'most perilous' hostage extraction exercise they would encounter. Former S Club 7 member Hannah Spearritt, 44, who later pursued acting with appearances in programmes including Primeval and EastEnders, was visibly finding the experience overwhelming, reports the Mirror. Moments afterwards, it emerged that the Reach vocalist had become the inaugural departure from the programme, with fellow contestants suggesting she may have experienced a panic episode. Two stars walked off Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins during the first episode on Sunday night (Image: PA) Nevertheless, in a pre-recorded interview shown shortly before, Hannah revealed: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She subsequently informed the directing staff: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." She wasn't alone in struggling early on, as dancer Louie Spence also made a dramatic exit when the demanding scenes became too much. Speaking beforehand, Louie had said: "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" Yet despite his bravado, moments afterwards Chris Fox branded the group's performance as "abysmal" following their most recent challenge. He urged the recruits to remember their purpose for being there and advised them to approach things "seriously". Louie interjected: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he declared whilst removing his armband. Chris offered him the opportunity to replace his armband, but Louie declined, prompting Chris to respond: "Get your kit." Louie Spence also walked off the programme in the first episode (Image: Channel 4) In a pre-recorded interview, the 56 year old Louie had stated: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," yet moments later, it was confirmed he had indeed departed the programme. Before his abrupt departure, Louie was full of admiration for the programme's directing staff, stating: "I actually looked at them and thought, 'oh, my God', because what they do and what they've done is incredible. I could never do that for real. "Do you know what I mean? They are a different breed, like doctors and surgeons and things like that. So I did look at them in that sense and think that what they really did in their day job was incredible." When questioned about what he found most challenging, he confessed: "Definitely the physical side of the course. Article continues below "Even though I've struggled with my anxiety and depression, mentally I was in a really strong, good place. It wasn't about an individual which they made very clear at the beginning, it was about the group. I love being a group player, I love being with people. But in that scenario, in the reality of it when I was there, I didn't think I was capable of being a group player." Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues on Channel 4 at 9pm
