The When Will I Be Famous singer left viewers swooning over his Saturday Night Fever inspired outfit last week, but it isn't the first time fans have swooned over the star.

As one of the biggest heartthrobs of the eighties, he became a pin-up across the world – with many viewers left wondering who the star is currently dating.

As Matt continues to strut his stuff on the dancefloor, Daily Star takes a closer look inside the singer's relationship history.

Melanie Sykes

Matt Goss dated TV personality Melanie Sykes in the early nineties, with the singer once referring to his former flame as "his first true love."

The couple met on a blind date in 1992 and later lived together in London.

Despite splitting in 1997 after a five-year romance, the couple have remained close friends.

They have since been snapped out and about together, including in 2015, when they were seen leaving Scotts Restaurant in Mayfair, London.

Matt also paid a sweet tribute to Mel during his 2017 gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire, telling fans: "We met on a blind date many years ago. It didn't work out.

"We both moved on and found other loves.

"Been in and out of love. But we've remained best friends. So this is for you…"

He also revealed a secret about his former love – that they both got their first tattoos together, saying: "I got a bald eagle because it symbolised being close to heaven and heaven on earth, and Mel got a strawberry …up here," gesturing to her inner thigh.

Martine McCutcheon

One year after Matt's split from Melanie, it was rumoured that he began dating EastEnders Tiffany Mitchell icon Martine McCutcheon.

The Love Actually star and Bros singer are reported to have dated for a period of time in 1998, with the two snapped together during this time.

However, neither Matt nor Martine have ever confirmed the rumours that they dated one another.

Daisy Fuentes

In 2000, Matt began dating MTV presenter and actress Daisy Fuentes, with the couple dating for more than a decade.

The loved-up pair shared a home together in Hollywood and it is reported that at one point, they were engaged, although the couple never married.

However speaking to Radar Online, Matt made the shocking revelation that the couple had split, saying: "We had a long and loving relationship.

"This came as a shock especially when you think you really know someone. I wish her all the best and hope she finds whatever it is that she's searching for."

Rebecca Ferguson

In 2016, Matt was reported to be dating The X-Factor star Rebecca Ferguson, after they met before filming an episode of The Jonathan Ross Show.

However, speaking to The Sun Online at the BBC Music Awards in December of the same year, Matt said: "I know Rebecca and she's lovely. I spoke to her today… but I'm single.

"It's a nice feeling when you meet someone and you talk but that happens at your own pace… As a man, I can say I am enjoying getting to know Rebecca."

He added: "But I am (based) in America."

In a separate interview with the publication, Matt later opened up about going on a date with the star, after Rebecca herself hinted at the date on an episode of Lorraine, according to The Mirror.

Matt said: "We’re still friends. Rebecca and I went on a date and she was lovely. She’s wonderful and such a talent, but I’m living in America and she has a family, which comes first."

Dating app woes

Although Matt has dated a number of music and acting stars, he has been unlucky in love when it comes to dating apps.

He revealed was banned from one dating platform, after the company accused him of being a catfish.

During a recent BBC Radio 5 interview, he said: 'I got kicked off because they said, 'We don't think Matt Goss would appreciate you imitating him.'

"I was too embarrassed to say, "No, it's me, it's actually me. I can show you my stats, you know – a naked picture, anything you need."

"I didn't have the guts to go, 'I'm kind of desperate, I'm trying to find someone here."

Chantal Brown

Matt is in a relationship with former model Chantal Brown, who was signed to Kate Moss' agency Storm and appeared in adverts for brands including Oil Of Olay.

It is not the first high-profile romance that Chantal has had, however, as the jewellery maker was once married to EastEnders Joe Wicks icon Paul Nicholls.

Chantal and Paul dated from 2005 and married three years later in 2018, with Paul describing her as his "soulmate."

However, the pair divorced in 2017.

In October 2021, Chantal was spotted out and about with Matt on a date, with the Strictly star confirming their romance of March of this year.

Speaking about his girlfriend to The Sun, Matt said: "She is funny and not obsessed with social media in any way," adding that the relationship was "great and felt nice."
