Will Mellor has shared the way he keeps his late dad close to him every time he steps out into the ballroom on Strictly Come Dancing. The actor got off to an incredible start in the BBC One dance competition, winning over the judges and viewers with his snake hips and intense acting skills.
But Will, who has more recently starred as out-and-out baddie Harvey Gaskell in Coronation Street, hit a stumbling block during week three of the contest when he was struck down with a bug. The 46-year-old had very little time to rehearse his rumba, a notoriously difficult dance for the show's celebs and still performed in the live show with the flu.
Will, who was asleep in his dressing room before he went on stage for that performance, scored just 23 points, his lowest score of the series, for his rumba to The Joker And The Queen by Ed Sheeran featuring Taylor Swift.
