How amazing was Will and Nancy’s Jive?
September 24, 2022 - 21:01 BST Emmy Griffiths Strictly Come Dancing stars Will Mellor and Nancy Xu were overcome with emotion following their routine on Saturday after topping the leaderboard with a fantastic score! The pair achieved an incredible score for their Jive, receiving nines from Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke, while Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas scored them both an eight, putting them at the top of the leaderboard.
Tearing up, Will said:"I hope I did you proud, this is for you and my dad," before apologising after he was overcome with emotion. Will very sadly lost his dad back in 2020, and has previously revealed that he agreed to take part in the show following his dad’s passing. He told HELLO! and other reporters:"Doing anything like this scared me.
"I just thought you've got to grab life. You've got to do things and I'm gonna say yes to more stuff and create memories and that really is what life's about. And you realise that when you start losing people and that this is what life’s about… What am I afraid of? I'd rather look back and think I’m glad I did that rather than I should have done that. So when they asked me I said yes straight away.
