Will Mellor has admitted the last week on Strictly Come Dancing has been an 'emotional rollercoaster', after fans were left concerned for his health and he received his lowest scores so far.
Former Hollyoaks star Will had been the bookies' favourite to win the new series right from the end of the first live show, following his and Strictly pro partner Nancy Xu 's amazing week one jive. After bookies put him as the one to beat, Will's marks then took a downturn in week two, before he was back near the top of the leaderboard in Movie Week. Ahead of Saturday's fourth live show, Will and Nancy appeared on Thursday's It Takes Two, with viewers at home immediately noticing that Will looked and sounded under the weather.
Addressing those concerns in a Facebook post, Will said he'd been struck down by 'a virus,' and had missed some training as a result and, sadly for him, his lack of rehearsal time was evident when he and Nancy took to the BBC ballroom to perform a rumba to Ed Sheeran's The Joker and the Queen. Will struggled through the routine and got just 23 out of 40, including a measly 4 from Craig Revel-Horwood, putting him second bottom of the standings.
