WILL MELLOR has revealed the heart-wrenching reason he decided to sign up for this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Coronation Street star was announced as one of the contestants for Strictly Come Dancing 2022 on Thursday's instalment of BBC Breakfast. The 46-year-old shared the touching reason he wanted to take part in the dancing series with BBC hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
Will told Naga and Charlie: "Because [my mum's] had such a tough time, she lost my dad, I wanted to give her something to look forward to.
"She lost my dad and her brother and brother-in-law and sister in a year, in 2020, through Covid.
"It was a really tough time for the family and we wanted to get on this Strictly train together and add a bit of positivity as she can come down to the show."
