Will Mellor's odds of winning Strictly Come Dancing has improved significantly after judge Craig Revel-Horwood singled him out as the celeb he was looking forward to seeing.
Will, who shot to fame in the mid-90s as one of the original cast members on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, was the first dancing star to be confirmed for the new series of the BBC show, with him being joined on the Strictly line-up for the likes of Kym Marsh, Tony Adams, Fleur East and Matt Goss.
On the subject of being a contestant on Strictly, Will said: "I'm honestly so chuffed to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this year! Not going to lie, it's totally out of my comfort zone and I know it will be a huge challenge but that's what life is all about. This is also my Mum's favourite show and she’s had a really tough few years so I’m doing this is for her as well. Bring it on!”
