Matt Goss has been able to eat as much curry as he wanted this week because he's burned so many calories training for his 'Strictly Come Dancing' jive.
Matt Goss has been able to eat as much curry as he wanted this week because he's burned so many calories training for his jive on Strictly
The Bros singer and his pro partner Nadiya Bychkova will perform a routine to Sir Paul McCartney’s version of ‘All Shook Up’ on Saturday's (14.10.22) episode of the BBC Latin and ballroom show, and while he admits his knees are in pain from his gruelling training, he has had "a lot of fun".
He said: "All I know is that my knees are hurting!
"The jive is relentless from start to finish and it completely takes over your life.
"It does allow you to eat as much curry as you want because you burn so many calories but it’s intimidating. It’s also been a lot of fun though, and I’m looking forward to dancing it on Saturday night."
The 54-year-old singer admitted his outfit on Saturday will leave little to the imagination.
Asked if he’s wearing tight trousers to gain extra points from judge Craig Revel Horwood, he said: "Absolutely not! Although they don’t leave a lot to the imagination."
Matt admits he feels "at peace" and happy when he is on stage, but admitted he finds it "very challenging" coming out of his shell when he's not performing.
Speaking to Pat Sharp on Greatest Hits Radio, he added: "Look, I’m quite a shy person off stage, I’m certainly quite reserved, but when I’m on stage I do feel very at peace and it’s the happiest place for me in my life when I’m on stage.
"Off stage is difficult for me, so this environment is challenging emotionally, coming out of my shell is genuinely very challenging.
"There’s no ego in my heart and it’s just about that moment when you have to come out of your comfort zone.
"On stage four nights a week in Las Vegas is definitely where I excel and where I feel very connected to an audience, but this experience is all brand new to me and I just have to put that Vegas showman into the dancing."
