Will Mellor said his “knees are bad” and are being held together with “sticky tape” ahead of Strictly Come Dancing tonight. The Coronation Street star also said he has been using his wife’s foot spa and ice to make sure he is fit for his performance in front of the judges.
Mellor, who was joined on The One Show by his dance partner, Nancy Xu, on Friday, was asked about his rehearsals for the quickstep. The 46-year-old actor said: “It’s been a tough, tough, week. It’s another dance you have to learn, another skill you have to learn.
“Saturday’s coming no matter what you do so you’ve got to put the work in. (My) knees are bad but my feet are purple. I don’t think that’s normal. (My) knees are like a Blue Peter project, I’ve got that much sticky tape and all that on them just holding (my body) together.
