Matt said: “I’m extremely nervous and excited, but I’m optimistic because I’m very supple from the knees down.”
The music legend has enjoyed mega success as the front man of BROS, with their debut album Push going platinum seven times.

On Monday’s This Morning, Matt was exclusively revealed as a contestant on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Matt told hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle: “I’m excited, I’m nervous.
“You have the conversation and then you go about your day and you think, ‘I’ve got to dance.’
“I’m eating everything that’s favourable to Spandex. I’ve got to make sure it’s alright, I’m excited.”
He added: “I’ve been almost reclusive. I come in [to the country], I work and go back to America.
“I just thought, ‘You know what, it’s time for me to come home, just do something completely out of my comfort zone’.
“I’m quite shy off stage. I just have to face all those demons and just learn.”
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
