Strictly fans fear for poorly Will Mellor and slam ‘harsh’ judges who criticised his routine

STRICTLY fans fear for poorly Will Mellor and slammed the ‘harsh’ judges who criticised his routine.

The actor performed a rumba on tonight’s show with partner Nancy Xu.

Will has had barely any time to rehearse this week after being struck down with the flu and being bed bound for a number of days.

As he finished the routine and spoke to Tess Daly and then Claudia Winkleman, Strictly viewers took to Twitter to share their concern.

One wrote: “Poor Will, you can see and hear how poorly he is. He’s definitely getting our votes. Don’t want him in the dance off bless him.”

Another added: “Poor Will to be honest he looks really poorly he has done amazing just to be able to do a dance.”

A third tweeted: “Who the heck cleared poor Will to dance, he’s SO ill! Give the man a #lemsip and a hot water bottle.”

Meanwhile others took aim at the harsh judges for their scores, as Will achieved 23 out of 40.

One wrote: “Bloody hell. Judges were way harsh on Will tonight!! We thought it looked fab and we loved it! He’s such a great dancer!!”

A fellow Strictly viewer tweeted: “Will Mellor is clearly unwell, hats off for getting through the dance, judges were harsh considering!”
