Will Mellor is one of the celebrities taking to the iconic dance floor on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
With the first live show commencing tonight, the Two Pints and Lager actor, 46, previously revealed that he has a special reason for choosing to take part in Strictly Come Dancing this year, explaining: ‘I lost my dad in 2020 and I just thought from then I’ve just got to grab life and I’ve got to do things and I’ve got to create new memories and my mindset changed, and that’s sort of one of the reasons why.
‘It’s my mum’s favourite show so she’s had it really tough over the last few years so I thought we’ll do this.’
During Friday’s launch show, fans discovered that Will would be partnered with Strictly proNancy Xu for this year’s competition as they take on 14 other pairings to try and win the glitterball trophy.
But how long has Will been married?
