Snake-hipped Will Mellor has revealed his tactic to win the BBC dance show after topping the leaderboard in the first week. The Coronation Street heart-throb, who played villain Harvey Gaskell in the soap, wowed viewers and judges with his sensational moves as he wiggled his way across the dancefloor on Saturday night.
He came top of the scoreboard on the BBC dance show with his professional dance partner Nancy Xu, bringing in 34 points out of a possible 40 for their jive to Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin. They came joint first alongside fellow contestant and wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin and his pro partner Jowita Przystal.
Will, also famed for playing Jambo Bolton in the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks and Gaz Wilikinson in the comedy Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, scored 8, 9, 8, 9. Fans of the long-running contest said Will's moves reminded them of past winner Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher.
