Strictly under fire for treatment of Will Mellor during results show amid illness

Should this option have been considered?

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were concerned for Will Mellor during Sunday’s results show this past weekend (October 16).

Viewers took to social media to express their unhappiness with how Will – who’d been ill with a virus – was treated.

Will and dance partner Nancy Xu were floundering at the bottom of the scoreboard before the dance off was confirmed yesterday evening.

With just 23 points, only Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova scored fewer marks with the judges.

Thankfully for Will, the audience who voted for their favourites did not agree.

And so Kym Marsh and Graziano di Prima found themselves in the dance off with Matt and Nadiya instead.
