Strictly Come Dancing's Will Mellor in tears as he admits he's 'disappointed' in himself

Strictly Come Dancing's Will Mellor said he is "disappointed" in himself for getting eliminated from the BBC show.

The fallout from the results show saw Will and his partner, Nancy Xu, walk away from the ballroom. A firm favourite throughout the show, it was an emotional goodbye from the pair as they said they were "devastated" to go.

Joining Rylan on the It Takes Two sister show, Will was quizzed on how he felt about the judges' critique. He said: "I'm only human. I worked so hard and we got so far in the competition, the last thing I wanted to do was get it wrong."

Will said he would beat himself up after a performance but admitted he only cares that Nancy was proud of what they showcased. Nancy added: "I think people have a different way of looking at dance but for me [Will] did everything he was asked. The passion, the drama, he did me so proud."

The couple were at the bottom of this week's leaderboard which signalled alarm bells in Will's head. Admitting he was unhappy with finishing at the semi-finals, he said: "I just really wanted so much to get to that final so I could say I completed it so I'm disappointed."

"I was gutted being at the bottom but I thought, 'If it's our turn it's our turn." Nancy added: "I feel awful. He did me so proud and we've had so much fun. He did everything I asked."

After sharing their best bits, Will and Nancy were reduced to tears after seeing how far they had come. The couple went head to head with singer Fleur East in the dance-off but she came out victorious after scoring three out of four judges' votes. She will join Helen Skelton, Hamza Yassin and Molly Rainford to battle it out for the glitterball trophy.
