Talking about what happened, Aliona previously said: 'The first couple of days Matt had trouble with dizziness.
'He was getting quite sick but we don't have too many hours of practice so I had to crack the whip and be tough and in the end he got over it.'
Matt then added: 'Just thinking about it, I'm feeling sick. There's a lot of twirling and the whole room is constantly moving, even when we stop.'
Representatives for Matt and Aliona have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Aliona announced she was leaving the show in December 2015. She won the competition in 2011 with Harry Judd and in 2015 with Jay McGuiness.
In 2017 it was revealed that Aliona was taking legal action against Johnny Ball, after he accused her of faking an injury during their time on the show.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday the TV personality, 86, claimed the dancer pretended to fracture her ankle so she could go on holiday, and that his new partner choreographed far more difficult routines, as part of a 'fix' to have him eliminated.
Aliona then took to Twitter to 'strongly deny' the allegations, and confirm she was taking 'legal action' against her former partner.

Matt then added: 'Just thinking about it, I'm feeling sick. There's a lot of twirling and the whole room is constantly moving, even when we stop'
The dancer wrote to her followers: 'I am aware that Johnny Ball has made allegations regarding my fractured ankle during 2012 SCD, which I strongly deny.
'I have instructed solicitors and am taking legal advice in relation to his allegations. It's therefore not appropriate to comment further at this time.'
Aliona and Johnny were partnered together on the tenth series of the show in 2012, but the professional was forced to pull out after fracturing her ankle.
However, the father of It Takes Two host Zoe Ball claimed that Aliona had faked the injury, in order to go on holiday.
He told The Sun on Sunday: 'Aliona fell on a flat floor in flat shoes and said she had broken her leg.
'The next day she flew to the South of France for a pre-arranged weekend with her boyfriend.'
The mathematician went on to claim that his new partner Iveta Lukosiute made their two routines - a Cha Cha and a Foxtrot - too difficult, therefore increasing his chances of being eliminated.
Having left the competition in week two, he added of his replacement partner: 'When I was knocked out she said, "That's funny, my contract ends on Tuesday."'
It comes just after on Tuesday BBC chief Tim Davie apologised for the alleged mistreatment of contestants on Strictly Come Dancing - finally breaking his silence on the scandal.
The director general said he was 'very sorry' to anyone who 'has had an experience on Strictly that hasn't been wholly positive' and vowed to 'reflect on' the complaints that have been made.
There are claims a host of celeb contestants have set up a 'secret support group' where they have shared their own horror stories and corroborated one another's claims.
Mr Davie was speaking to journalists on the BBC's annual report day as he delivered a speech on the future of the corporation.
He said there will inevitably be 'competitiveness, hard work and the will to do well' on the show, 'but there are limits and the line should never be crossed'. He added: 'We will never tolerate unacceptable behaviour of any kind.'
Yesterday, former contestant Will Bayley became the latest star to speak about his experiences on the show, after concerns were raised about the treatment of contestants Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott.
Asked if he is confident the show will go ahead this series, Mr Davie said: 'I need to be assured we have the right safeguarding and duty of care in place, and that is the first question I ask.
'I am assured by the robust actions we have taken in terms of the changes we have made ... that we are in a position to deliver a very good season this year and that has been my focus.'
He continued: 'With that assurance, I'm looking forward to the next season.'
Addressing how he felt when the allegations first emerged about the show, he said he was 'disappointed'.
He added: 'I'm very sorry that anyone has had an experience on Strictly that hasn't been wholly positive, I think that is something we do reflect on, and I'm sorry about that.'
Mr Davie told journalists: 'Strictly is a wonderful show that brings a lot of joy to a lot of people, and has done so for 20 years, to both those involved with the show itself and to millions of people at home.
'Hundreds of people, be they pros, contestants or crew, have been part of it and had a brilliant experience.
'At the same time, if someone feels there was something wrong or they wanted to talk about their experience, then, of course, we want them to raise that with us and be in no doubt, we will take it seriously, listen and deal with it as appropriate.
'While I'm not going to talk about individuals, you can see evidence of that in recent weeks. So, I hope that anyone who does want to talk to us feels they can.
'It is vital that we have the right protocols and structures in place for the show. We keep these under review, and as you know we confirmed changes to these last week. It is essential these are right for everyone.
'Of course, alongside the fun and entertainment, there will be a degree of competitiveness, hard work, and a will to do well, that's part of what makes this show. But there are limits and the line should never be crossed.
'We will never tolerate unacceptable behaviour of any kind.
BBC bosses are said to be desperate to draw 'an immediate line' under the scandal when the new series of Strictly begins in September.
Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman may be asked to address it at the start of the first show and could even say sorry after complaints from Amanda Abbington, Zara McDermott and Steve Backshall.
'This year's Strictly is the 20th anniversary and it will be a celebration of the show and its history', an insider told MailOnline.
'The BBC will want to draw an immediate line under what has happened. The show can't start soon enough'.
It came as Strictly's 2024 cohort of professionals were all smiles as they arrived for rehearsals in north London today and yesterday as preparations for the new series ramp up this summer. Insiders have said that privately some 'fear for their jobs'.
Tess and Claudia may not address the sudden departures of Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima.
Di Prima admits kicking Zara McDermott once in a rehearsal but Giovanni has branded allegations about his teaching methods 'simply false'. His supporters say he has high standards.
'The BBC won't want to go there', the source claimed.
The series' launch show where pairings will be revealed is penciled in for September 4 with live shows beginning two weeks later. It will then run for 13 weeks until the final in December.
Strictly is facing its biggest crisis in its 20 years since it returned to the BBC in its current form.
There are also rumours that the Tess and Claudia could be considering their futures. There have long been claims that they have a mutual agreement that they would leave together to make way for a new presenting duo.

Amanda Abbington quit the show last year before claiming that her partner Giovanni was abusive towards her. He later left the show after vehemently denying all claims
Fellow Italian dancer Graziano Di Prima was sacked from the programme earlier this month after he was accused of kicking and spitting at Zara McDermott
Steve Backshall complained to the BBC about his professional partner on Strictly Come Dancing Ola Jordan back in 2014 claiming she 'bullied' him
Will Bayley said he wasn't able to walk for six months after sustaining an injury on the show (seen with pro partner Janette Manrara)
MailOnline has asked the BBC to comment.
Professional Graziano, 30, was axed from the show last week following claims he allegedly hit and spat at his dancing partner Zara, 27, during rehearsals.
Weeks before, Giovanni, 33, was suspended while a BBC probe is conducted over claims of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda, 50, and two other former celeb partners.
James Jordan has also poured fuel on the flames of the Strictly bullying row after Steve Backshall complained that his dancer wife 'bullied' him while on the programme in 2014.
