Matt Goss is relishing his return to Britain

The 53-year-old singer is returning home after more than a decade in Las Vegas, and Matt has revealed he celebrated his comeback by enjoying some pints in the London landmark.

He shared: "I went to a mate’s at the Tower of London. I have a couple of Yeoman friends.

"There is a pub inside the Tower where you can have a pint. There are fewer Yeomen than there are people in space.

"They do come, undercover, to the shows, they come to Vegas.

"I have been there for 11 years, four shows a week, and on stage everyone is equal.

"Everyone gets treated exactly the same. I think that is how I have met so many people from so many walks of life."

Matt is proudly British and he wishes other people were more patriotic.

The Bros singer - who is to star on 'Strictly Come Dancing' this year - told Dom Joly on his 'Sunday Session' radio show: "I think it is OK if you were born here to say, ‘Please respect our country’.

"I don’t think it is in any way controversial. I think it is fine. This is our home - contribute and love it.

"If someone continually complains to me about this place it does rub me the wrong way."

Matt also believes Brits need to be "less afraid" to be themselves.

He said: "There are things that need to be corrected about this country. Everyone is terrified to say it and I’m not.

"I am a civilised gentleman and I will always treat people with kindness. But I also think there is a need for ... we need to be less afraid of ourselves and say how it is.

"Imagine this - it is OK to be proud of where you are born. There is no racial connotation to that, it is being proud of where you were born.

"If I was born in Iceland I would be proud of Iceland."
