Actor Will Mellor and his professional dance partner Nancy Xu are set to take to the dancefloor on Friday, December 2 to perform a foxtrot to Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon as part of Strictly Come Dancing's musicals week. It's on BBC One a day earlier than its usual Saturday night slot this week, read more on that here.
During the latest episode of the dance show's spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two on BBC Two on Thursday, December 2, the pair spoke to co-host and former Strictly pro Janette Manrara about their high-scoring charleston last weekend and revealed the embarrassing moment during rehearsals when Nancy was "told off" by a BBC choreographer behind the scenes.
During the segment, the pair discussed how rehearsals for the fast-paced dance hadn't only been a challenge for Will but for Nancy too as the soap star revealed that the pro dancer, 31, had grown "angry at herself" for not being able to do the steps and joked that she was told by one of the show's choreographers she needed to take a lesson from her celebrity partner.
