STRICTLY fans are fearing for Will Mellor after he admitted being ‘in bits’ during an ’emotional’ rehearsal today.
The actor, 46, worried fans when he appeared on Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two this evening.
Will told Strictly fans he’s been ‘in bits’ while rehearsing for next weekend’s routine
Will revealed the song he’ll dance to this Saturday means a lot to him
As presenter Rylan revealed to viewers that he would be dancing to ‘Three Times a Lady’ by the Commondores, Will revealed the song means a lot to him.
“It’s a very emotional song for me,” he said. “It means a lot to me this song, so it’s been an emotional day.”
Will added that his dance partner Nancy Xu has been trying to teach him his new routine ahead of Saturday but he’s ‘not been himself’.
Rylan asked the Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps star if it’s for personal reasons and he confirmed it was.
“It’s a song my dad used to sing to my mum,” he revealed.
He continued: “I didn’t choose it, they said do you want to do it?
“It absolutely means a lot and what’s strange is when you go through grief you think you can talk about things and you think you can hear song and all of a sudden it hits you like a tonne of bricks.
“Today, dancing the routine I was in bits.”
He added that it will be “an honour on the night to be able to do it.”
Will’s dad Bill tragically died just weeks after being diagnosed with cancer in 2020.
He previously opened up about his father’s passing during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show.
“It’s a very emotional song for me,” he said. “It means a lot to me this song, so it’s been an emotional day,” he said
Will said that it will be “an honour on the night” to perform to the song with his dance partner Nancy Xu
