Will Mellor has shared the special Strictly Come Dancing pre-show ritual he does in which he honours his late father. The actor, who is partnered with professional dancer Nancy Xu, appeared on Strictly: It Takes Two on Friday, December 2 - which aired just two hours before the live show which has been moved to a Friday this week due to the World Cup schedule.
During the show, Rylan Clark, who had been absent from the show he co-hosts with Janette Manrara for some time, revealed that Richie Anderson, who got kicked out of the competition during week three, would be returning to the studio to speak to some of the quarter-finalists - one of whom was Will.
Asking Will and his fellow castmate Molly Rainford if they had any pre-show rituals when they are on their own in their dressing room before taking to the stage Will, 46, revealed the three things he does.
