Will Mellor got an apology from his pro dancer partner Nancy Xu for 'pushing him too hard' after his scores took a dive on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing.
Former Hollyoaks and Two Pints of Lager star Will had a dream start to his Strictly journey last weekend when the judges and viewers at home were left speechless by his first live show performance, after he and pro Nancy lit up the dancefloor with a red hot jive to Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca. Their dance earned them 24 out of 40, one of the highest week one scores in Strictly history, as bookies hastily altered their winner odds to make Will the overwhelming favourite to win.
When this week's Strictly songs and dances were announced, with the reveal that Will and Nancy were doing a salsa to Luther Vandross leading to fans predicting that they'd be right up near the top of the leaderboard for the second week in succession. However, that didn't prove to be the case as, after a rather chaotic opening which saw earrings and buttons go missing, Will made a few too many mistakes throughout the routine.
