Matt Goss: Public reaction to my Strictly rejection 'touched my heart'

Bros singer Matt Goss says the reaction of the British public after his exit from Strictly Come Dancing “touched my heart” and made him feel “safe”. The 54-year-old, who recently returned to the UK from living in the US, said he felt “a deeper connection” with the UK after his participation in the show.

Goss and professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova were eliminated on Sunday after the third public vote, losing the dance-off to soap star Kym Marsh and her partner. Goss and Bychkova performed a jive to All Shook Up by Paul McCartney.

Speaking on BBC Two’s Strictly spin-off, It Takes Two, Goss told host Rylan Clark that the messages the pair had received in the 24 hours after their departure had been “unbelievable”. He said: “The British public have made me feel so safe and incredibly well received, and at the end of the day that’s all I can ask for.
