Strictly Come Dancing fans have shared their support for Strictly star Will Mellor who has been bedbound all week with an illness.
The fan favourite says he's picked up a bug and has been laid up since Monday. On the Strictly Come Dancing sister show It Takes Two, Will appeared to have a hoarse voice and said he had an 'itchy' cough after contracting a virus, reports Leicestershire Live.
It remains to be seen whether he will be able to perform this weekend. Janette Manrara asked: "We just need to start by saying you’ve not been feeling very well this week. How are you feeling now?" Will replied: "I don't sound very good. I've been in bed, I've got a full virus, I've not trained all week.

"So yeah, we’re just hoping Dr Theatre kicks in and in time for Saturday." Nancy then added: "I don’t want to lie, there’s a little bit of worry inside of me." Will then said: "I feel bad for Nancy because she’s done this beautiful routine and beautiful dance and I just want to do it justice."
"I’m just praying that I wake up tomorrow morning and I feel better. Because I really want to dance this, it’s a beautiful song with this beautiful routine and I really wanna do it justice."
After his appearance on It Takes Two, the Two Pints star posted a video on Instagram saying: "First of all, I just want to apologise for the way I sound. I’ve not been well at all this week."
"I went into training on Monday and I just had to go home 'cause I was feeling poorly. I’ve been laid up ever since. I’ve got a bug, virus, whatever you want to call it, and I was aching all over. It was horrible.
"If you’ve got it out there, I feel your pain, because a lot of it is going round this time of year, these flu variants.
"I’ve just done It Takes Two and a lot of people were commenting, saying 'you sound really poorly'. So I just want to say, thanks for your comments, but I probably sound worse than I am, because I’ve coughed my throat out.
"I went into training for the first time today to try and do a couple of hours to learn the steps because I’ve got to perform on Saturday night live. I just hope I can get through it."
