Walk into Mellors Cafe in Romiley and there's no mistaking who everyone is supporting on this year's BBC Strictly Come Dancing. Staff here are all proudly wearing their "Team Will" t-shirts - in support of Will Mellor, Stockport's Strictly hopeful this year, and it's a real family affair.

For Will's sister Cheryl Taylor has been running Mellors Cafe for the past 15 years, while his niece Georgia Thorley is the manager. Will's mum Shirley is a regular for her daily cuppa too at the cafe on Romiley Precinct.

Chatter among customers in the bustling cafe inevitably turns to the exploits of Will, and how well he is doing just three weeks in to his sequin-clad Strictly journey.
