Bros star pays £20,000 to fly in dog

STRICTLY heart-throb Matt Goss paid £20,000 to fly his pet dog to Britain to join him while he takes part in the dance show.

Bulldog Reggie endured a 6,000-mile journey from Los Angeles to Frankfurt before being driven in a 4x4 to London. The trip took 24 hours.

Former Bros singer Goss, 53, right with Reggie, said: ‘It’s a military operation trying to get Reggie back home, everything from shots to his own passport, handlers to get him to Frankfurt, then he’s got to drive from Frankfurt. It has been endless.

‘The temperatures in LA and Germany both had to be below 80F (27C) at the time of departure because he is a bulldog. It’s all to do with his breathing. He is everything to me. I think he will make me feel a lot more settled. He’s my furry son. I love him with all my heart. We are inseparable and we are telepathic.’

Goss says he is taking part in Strictly in tribute to his mum Carol, who died of cancer in 2014. The singer, who has homes in the UK and the US, is dating jeweller Chantal Brown, ex-wife of EastEnders actor Paul Nicholls.
