Updated: Matt Goss and Elaine Paige rumoured for festive Strictly Matt Goss had several number one hits as the frontman of Bros in the 1980s. Bros singer Matt Goss is among the celebrities lined up for this years Christmas edition of Strictly Come Dancing, it has been reported. He will be joined by musical star Elaine Paige, DJ Sara Cox and The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes. Contestants in one-off specials, such as Fern Britton and Susanna Reid, have gone on to compete in the main show. The 2013 line-up will be officially unveiled on Strictly: It Takes Two on Monday, 25 November. According to the Mirror, the six contestants will also include comedian Rufus Hound, and EastEnders actor Himesh Patel, who plays market inspector Tamwar Masood. Hound previously won Lets Dance For Comic Relief, performing a spoof version of Cheryl Coles routine to Fight For This Love. Humes, meanwhile, lost out to McFlys Harry Judd in the 2010 Children In Need edition of Strictly. The singer, who had dance training as a child star in S Club Juniors, will be hoping to emulate her husband - JLS singer Marvin Humes - who won last years Strictly Christmas Special. Goss, who found fame as the frontman of 80s pop stars Bros, recently appeared on Strictly as a musical guest. The star, who these days has a residency in Las Vegas, performed a big band version of his debut single When Will I Be Famous? Training for the festive edition is due to start this week. The celebrities are paired with professional dancers who have been voted off the main show and given three weeks to get up to speed. Christmas TV schedules have not yet been finalised, but Strictly traditionally forms part of BBC Ones Christmas Day line-up. Previous winners include EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks and Torchwood star John Barrowman.
