Matt Goss capitalizes on Strictly fame by announcing plans for a new line of movies, musicals and homewares
So what’s the Goss on Matt from Bros?
Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? I’m only asking, because Matt Goss seems bent on total cultural domination.
Goss, who rose to prominence in 1980s pop group Bros, is one of the most anticipated stars of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, which begins Friday night.

While it’s common to use Strictly as a springboard for another project, the former pop star seems to be taking things to a whole new level.
A comeback single, Are You Ready, was released last month but failed to trouble the Top 40.
Now Matt is taking steps towards an acting career – just like his twin brother and costar Luke, who after Bros has appeared in more than 50 movies.

Matt will star alongside Dame Joan Collins and Craig Fairbrass in The Stork Club, a gangster drama set in the 1970s.
“I’m playing a very sinister character, which I’ve always wanted to do,” he said.
The film is produced by Jayney Mackie, who worked on the 2020 romantic comedy The Loss Adjuster, which starred…Luke Goss!
Ambitious Matt is also keen to produce a jukebox musical on Bros, having seen the success of films such as Rocket Man.
Additionally, he wants to launch a line of homewares and clothing: Goss rather than Goop.
“I’ve worked with people in my life who have created great brands and for me that’s the dream. It’s not just about financial gain. It’s something I can leave behind, as well as my music.
Strictly Come Dancing launches Friday at 7pm on BBC One
