Strictly Come Dancing star Matt Goss feels he has finally "acclimated" to life in the UK amid fears he was going to be a recluse.
The Bros star is competing alongside Nadiya on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show and he was thrilled to avoid the bottom two last weekend after a Top Gun: Maverick themed dance during Movie Week.
Matt scored 21 out of 40 and found himself joint second from the bottom of the leaderboard, but he was thrilled when he sailed through to the next round.
The singer- who moved back to the UK after over two decades in the United States - explained how he felt he has finally got used to life in the UK again as he appeared on It Takes Two on Wednesday.
He said Strictly was a great way for him to stop being a recluse in life after he previously spoke about how the trauma of his mum's death left him feeling reclusive and in a very dark place.
Speaking on the spin-off show, he said: "I think getting home and feeling at home and making sure things are alright. I feel much more like myself and now the public kept us on, it was a real boost and lifted our spirits.
"That last week, he found like he was finally saying he was home and he has arrived. With Strictly and the new dances, it's all go go go. The weeks felt like it was so many things. And last week, it really felt like he arrived."
He added: "I had to acclimate... It's incredible. Living in the States for 25 years and all the black cabbies and everyone around. They're so supportive. I feel like I have an extended family in the British public and for my spirit, I need that."
Matt previously explained how he didn't want his life to be "reclusive" now he's back in the UK.
He said soon after it was announced he'd be joining the show: "It is a nice feeling to have - that familiarity with the British public. It’s very conversational. There’s selfies and we’ll chat about life and that’s the life I want.
"I don’t want a reclusive life in my place, I want to get out and embrace life much more than I have done and obviously with my announcement yesterday, it’s as public as you can get really."
She added: "I think my lifestyle’s different here, but I also get treated like part of the family in this country. I get treated very, very well."
Matt says his fear was a big part in him deciding to do Strictly.
"I was definitely connected to making sure the audience was happy, but I was going home feeling like I needed more. I made the decision to come back [to the UK] and Strictly called, and I thought, ‘If I don't do this, I'm just going to end up in this reclusive place, work reclusive,'" he explained to Hello magazine about his decision to head back to the UK.
