Actor Will Mellor has spoken out after his controversial exit from BBC Strictly Come Dancing. The star was interviewed by Rylan Clark on spin-off show It Takes Two after the semi final on Monday, December 12, alongside his professional dancing partner Nancy Xu.
Many fans have threatened to boycott the hit show after Mellor's exit, reports Birmingham Live. The Line of Duty star was sent home after a dance off with Fleur East and Vito Coppola, as the judges awarded 74 to East and 70 to Mellor.
On It Takes Two, Will said: "It was tough doing two dances. It was really tough. My brain struggles with one dance a week - my brain can't take in two things at once, and obviously it was the semi-finals, so it was tough. There was pressure. But, you know, I thought we were ready."
