Strictly Come Dancing has meant a lot to all the quarter-finalists, but for Will Mellor it has helped him and his mum through one of the most difficult periods of their lives.
The Coronation Street actor is set on winning the BBC dance competition, not for himself, but for his mum, Shirley, after his beloved dad Bill died in 2020.
Throughout the series, Will, 46, has spoken about how taking part in the show has helped him and his mum have a positive focus in their grief.
