BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Will Mellor shares throwback family picture of teenage children

BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Will Mellor may have been wowing fans on the dance floor in the 20th series of the show but he appears to be secretly dreaming of another place. And different company.

The former Hollyoaks and Coronation Street actor has been suffering after being struck down with illness last week but appears to be back to health and ready for the next show. Confirming that he had to miss out on several days of training for the competition he still managed to strut his stuff with style on Saturday night's programme and kept his place. He is now back rehearsing and says his 'head is spinning" but in a good way judging from a video he posted detailing day two of rehearsals.

The 'Two Pints of Larger' star recognised that the scores 'weren't great' last week, and went on to thank fans for keeping him and pro dancer Nancy Xu in the show by voting for them. He added: "we just want to do our best, and I'm really grateful just to be in the competition because I'm loving it". He continued: "I feel so much better this week and I've got rid of that virus so thanks for keep us in".
