Will Mellor left bedbound as illness threatens Strictly stint: 'Haven't trained all week'

“So yeah, we’re just hoping Dr Theatre kicks in and in time for Saturday,” he added.

Showing her own support, Janette weighed back in: “We’re crossing our fingers, we’re all crossing our fingers.”

This week, Will and Nancy are set to perform a Rumba to Ed Sheehan and Taylor Swift’s The Joker and The Queen.

“It’s beautiful,” Will said of the song choice but later in the interview, Janette was keen to hear how Nancy felt given the lack of training the pair have undertaken.
