REVEALED: Strictly come dancing s will mellor backed by family after score setback | Rare Historical Photos

Will Mellor has revealed the support he's been getting from his family as he aims to bounce back from his Strictly Come Dancing disappointment.

After being behind Fleur East and Helen Skelton in the Strictly odds before the first live show, former Hollyoaks star Will shot past his rivals after a blistering start to his journey on the BBC a few weeks ago. After wowing both the judges and viewers at home, Will and pro partner Nancy Xu earned one of the highest scores in Strictly history for their week one jive to Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca.

Bookies immediately put Will as red hot favourite to win however, after his odds of winning were slashed, Will,. most famous for starring as Gaz in Two Pints of Lager, suffered a bit of a setback on Saturday night, when his scores dropped considerably from a week earlier, as he and Nancy did a salsa that was littered with a few too many mistakes.
