Dan Walker has revealed his thoughts on Matt Goss, who is paired up with Dan’s former Strictly Come Dancing partner Nadiya Bychkova on the BBC show.
The Channel 5 presenter, 45, reached the semi-finals of Strictly with show pro Nadiya last year before being booted out of the TV ballroom.
Dan and Nadiya formed a close friendship during their weeks of training, with Dan even inviting Nadiya to visit his wife Sarah and their family at his Sheffield home.

It might have left fans wondering what Dan thinks of pop star Matt dancing with Nadiya, and how he feels the duo are getting on in front of the Strictly judges.
Dan spoke about Matt and Nadiya’s partnership during a chat on Tuesday’s (October 11) episode of ITV’s This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Luckily, it seems he’s fond of the couple as he hopes Matt stays in for as “long as possible”.

Asked by Phil how it feels watching the show, Dan said: “I’m really enjoying it. I hope she [Nadiya] and Matt Goss stay in as long as possible, because I think she’s such a good teacher, and she can really show him all sorts of things.”
Dan also slammed the notion that Strictly contestants get show “FOMO” after leaving the show.
He added: “Everyone says you get FOMO the year after but I don’t!”, but Holly wasn’t convinced.

Holly hit back: “You must do, though! It’s such a brilliant show.”
Dan insisted: “I don’t! This is the way I look at it, right. Last year with Nadiya, I got to reach the top of an amazing mountain, and I really enjoyed the view, and I never thought I’d get up there.
“But now, watching other people climb that mountain, I can say ‘I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when you get to the top’. and also, it means that I can still look at pictures of when I got to the top!”
Dan has been promoting his new book Standing on the Shoulders: Incredible Heroes and How They Inspire Us, which comes out May 4 2023.
