Sick Strictly star Will Mellor ‘couldn’t stand’ and was secretly ‘held up’ by his dance partner on the show after virus

thesun.co.uk:

STRICTLY star Will Mellor was so sick on Saturday night he "couldn't stand" and was secretly being "held up" by his dance partner.

The 46-year-old had just four hours' training last week after being wiped out by a virus. Despite this, Will battled through to perform on Saturday night - but was punished by the judges with their scores.

He was awarded just 23 out of 40 for his rumba with pro dancer Nancy Xu, 31. Nany told spin-off show It Takes Two tonight: "It was a challenging week and Will still put himself out there to show people what he could give to the show. "I was worried about him.

He could barely stand, I was holding him. He is my winner for sure."

"I knew I wasn't going to be able to do a good rumba with a few hours' training.  "The judges know what they're talking about so I have to take it on board and try to do better next week." His low-score left Will fearing he'd be booted out in the results show.
