Matt's wardrobe consisted of over-sized clothing, which Paske believed was a result of time restrictions that meant a lack of character wardrobe fittings. Paske told Caroline Westbrook from "TV Hits" that he would often arrive on-set in clothes that fit him. However, when he went to the wardrobe department to change into Matt's attire, the jeans, shirts and jackets were always too big. Paske also disliked scenes in which Matt was wearing swimming attire because he felt over weight while on the show. He told Westbrook that on one occasion he received a letter asking him to lose weight and another expressing their dislike of his hair style. Paske said that Matt sported a hair cut similar to that of the footballer Paul Gascoigne because of changes made by the show's production team.
