BBC Strictly's Matt Goss on the impact of his mum's 'violent death' and losing his sister to a drunk driver

Strictly Come Dancing have rallied to support emotional contestant Matt Goss as he cried during his elimination while paying tribute to the loved ones he has lost. Bros star Matt and his pro partner Nadiya Bychkova were sent home on Sunday night's results show after a dance-off with Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima.

Singer Matt, who to shot to fame in the late 80s with his twin brother Luke in the band Bros and went on to have a successful residency in Las Vegas, left the dancefloor after all four judges opted to save former Coronation Street actress Kym. He was comforted by Nadiya who addressed critics, saying "not many people know you."

Viewers took to Twitter to say the 'shy' star had been 'misunderstood' as he bowed out of the BBC dance contest. And Matt wiped away tears as he said: "I'm sorry I'm emotional. I'm an emotional person. I wish my mum was here and my sister was here."
