According to the publication, the broadcaster’s contract has been terminated with “immediate effect”.
They have also claimed he will be replaced by Kevin O’Sullivan and Kait Borsay.
A source told them: “Matthew’s had his contract terminated with immediate effect after relations turned sour between him and several of the producers.
“He received an email telling him not to come in as of today, with Kevin and Kait stepping in to fill in his regular slot.”
At the time, he said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining talkRADIO at this fascinating time in history when there’s so much to discuss and debate.”
“My new afternoon show will see me team up with Fleet Street legend, critic Kevin O’Sullivan – two real-life chums who don’t agree on anything!
“Free of the restrictions imposed when I was on the goggle box, I’m looking forward to full-on phone-ins and laughs a plenty, not just with talkRADIO’s growing army of loyal listeners, but with an array of celebrity guests too.
“It will all kick-off at 1pm on Monday 10 September when I’m planning on not just discussing the news, but making it too.”
