Strictly's Will Mellor keeps late dad close for every live show with special tribute

The standard on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing has been out of this world. And for actor Will Mellor and his professional partner Nancy Xu – who are one of the favourites to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy – it’s "impossible to say" who their biggest competition could be.

"All of the girls are so amazing," Will, 46, tells us of his fellow contestants. "There are so many incredible dancers on the show who are better than me."

It’s this modest nature that has seen viewers fall in love with the star, who has so far danced everything from a Rumba to Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, to an American Smooth in Movie Week.
