Starting in January 2006, Matt appeared in ITV's reality ice-skating competition Dancing on Ice as the professional skating partner to stage and screen performer Bonnie Langford. They were favourites throughout the competition due to their routines characterised by many dramatic and impressive lifts and tricks which often showed off Langford's flexibility. Due to negative tabloid stories, they finished 3rd, but achieved the series highest mark of 28.5 which included two sixes, the only sixes seen in the competition. In the second series he is partnered with Lisa Scott Lee, from pop group Steps, and reached sixth before being voted off by the judges four votes to one against.

In the Australian version of Dancing on Ice produced by the Australian TV station TCN-9 in Sydney, Matt's partner was Australian model Lara Bingle.

Matt partenered Bonnie once more for the Dancing on Ice Champions of Champions competion, in which the final three skaters for each UK series went head to head. During the live show Bonnie fell over in her performance, which was the only flaw, putting her second with the judges. In an interview with the judges they unanimously agreed that, going on the rehersal, that if Bonnie had'nt tripped she would have recieved perfect 6's from all.
