Despite his own emotional appearance, Will Mellor jumped in to console Nancy Xu as the pair broke down during their Strictly Come Dancing exit chat. The dance contest's semi-final results aired on Monday night (December 12) after the football forced the penultimate live show and its subsequent result to different time slots.
Sunday's semi-final saw the five remaining celebrities and their professional dance partners take to the ballroom floor twice as the fought for their place in the competition and a chance at getting their hands on the Glitterball trophy. While the judges gave their scores, it was over to the public to vote and save their favourite.
But there were tears during the results show as it was announced that Will Mellor had missed out on a place in the final. The Two Pints of Lager and Coronation Street star battled it out against singer and radio DJ Fleur East in the dreaded dance-off after it was revealed they had come bottom of the leaderboard following their scores and votes from the public.
