DARK SECRETS: Nancy xu s strictly exit post on instagram breaks hearts after on screen tears | Rare Historical Photos

Nancy Xu has finally addressed her and Will Mellor's exit from Strictly Come Dancing, with an emotional Instagram post, after she was left in tears at missing out on this year's final.

Prior to Sunday's semi final, Nancy and Will were tipped to make the series finale with ease, as bookies were 'certain' that the final dance-off of 2022 would be between Molly Rainford and Fleur East. However, after Will received some rather harsh feedback from the Strictly judges, particularly Shirley Ballas, for the couple's opening dance, he and Nancy ended up finishing bottom of the leaderboard.

That mean they faced an uphill battle to avoid being in the danger zone, going into the public vote and, after the scores had been combined, Nancy and Will dropped into the bottom two for the first time, eventually losing out to Fleur and her pro partner Vito Coppola, after Shirley saved them with her casting vote.
