Strictly Come Dancing’s 20th season will debut on September 23. After a two-year absence owing to the COVID-19 epidemic, the show has returned. One of the Strictly Come Dancing competitors is 53-year-old musician Matt Goss, who made headlines in 2016 after reconnecting with his brother Luke Bros and singing for their band ‘Bros’ after 25 years apart. Anton, Shirley, Craig, and Motsi will all return as judges, while Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will serve as presenters. Strictly Come Dancing is a dance reality show in which celebrities perform ballroom dance with professional dancers.
According to the official Strictly Come Dancing synopsis:
“As the Bafta Award-winning program returns to BBC One, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will walk the red carpet for the class of 2019. The star-studded line-up will then make their way to the Strictly ballroom for the first time, eager to learn which professional dancer they’ll be matched with on their quest for the coveted Glitter Ball trophy.”

Strictly Come Dancing’s Matt Goss earned £10 million on a European tour with his brother Luke.
Matthew Weston Goss is a musician and songwriter. He was the main vocalist of the 1980s pop group Bros, which included his twin brother Luke on drums. He is also a solo musician with five studio albums to his credit. Nonetheless, he penned the theme tune for Nigel Lithgow’s So You Think You Can Dance. Furthermore, his band was well-known as the prototypical 1980s boy band. However, it all came to an end when they crumbled into a heap of debt and internal strife. They divorced three years later when Luke informed Matt:
“I’m finished. It’s no longer enjoyable.”
However, events took a different turn. When Luke phoned Matt 25 years later, the schism between the two brothers was repaired. Three months after the reunion, Matt and Luke Goss reformed Bros after meeting at a Hollywood restaurant. Tickets for their reunion gig at London’s O2 sold out in seven seconds after the news of their reconciliation broke.
In addition, the Strictly Come Dancing participant said in an interview with Mirror:
“It’s fair to say we didn’t get along and didn’t talk for a long time,” she says.”
He went on to say:
“I have to confess that it was all extremely difficult and quite personal.” The handshake altered everything. Luke is once again my best buddy.”
Matt then discussed the similarities between the two brothers:
“We were born on the same day, grew up together, and attended the same school.”
He then said:
“Back then, we were in the same band.” We essentially had one identity. It was excessive.”
Furthermore, although living in the Los Angeles region, they seldom saw one other after the band split up as Luke pursued a career as an actor, appearing in films such as Blade II, while Matt pursued a successful solo career. However, once their beloved mother Carol died of cancer in 2014, the stresses in their relationship began to relax. Strictly Come Dancing will launch on BBC One on September 23 at 7:00 p.m. ET.
