Matt Goss surprises BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers as he ditches his trademark hat

Matt Goss' appearance on Strictly Come Dancing came as a surprise to viewers as he ditched his trademark hat. The Bros star is among the 15 celebrities who have signed up to take part in the BBC dance contest this year.

And during Friday night's launch show (September 23), fans of the show discovered which famous face would be paired with which professional dancer for the Strictly's 20th series. The show opened with a ballroom performance from the professional dancers and the four new dancers – Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas, Coppola and Gu – were introduced with a cinematic group number.

John Legend also performed his new single All She Wanna Do during the launch show which saw Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman return to hosting duties and Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke back on the judging panel.
