Will Mellor addresses Strictly Come Dancing curse after split admission
Will Mellor discussed the notorious Strictly curse for the first time ever during a candid conversation with co-host Ralf Little on their popular show Two Pints With Will and Ralf.
The duo treated fans to an engaging back-and-forth at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall. The chat kicked off with Ralf teasing his friend: "I believe there's a thing called the curse of Strictly. Your wife's not into that!"
Will replied: "My wife was at every rehearsal! Every time, she was like, 'Great, great, it's really going well!'" Discussing the implicit chemistry required for successful performances on the dancing show, Will noted: "I do get it - obviously to sell it and to make the dances work, you're pretending there's a real sensuality. There's got to be chemistry there.
"Oh I get it, I get it - because if you're two single people and you work with each other six or seven hours a day every day, you've got all these emotions...."
Notwithstanding any rumours, the bond between Will and Michelle McSweenappears unbreakable as the couple, who share two children - 20 year old son Jayden and 16 year old daughter Renee, will celebrate their 25th anniversary this year, reports the Express.
On a previous episode of the Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps podcast, Will opened up about his relationship ups and downs, confessing that they had "split up loads of times along the way" and noting that "long distance relationships are tough at first". Despite the rocky road, Will and his partner are now blissfully wed since 2007.
Ralf couldn't resist teasing Will about the infamous Strictly curse during their chat. He cheekily hinted that he too might get carried away if he were in Will's dancing shoes, quipping about the intimacy of the dance floor moves.
He teased: "I can see with the way that you dance... you pull each other close and you're face to face that close to each other... you must be thinking, 'I've got to kiss her.'" Referencing Will's performances on Strictly Ralf joked that it's hard not to get swept up in the moment.
The actor joked: "Honestly, I was watching [your Strictly performances] and I defy anyone to not feel that... I'd dance like that with you and f*****g feel that!" Will laughed off the suggestion: "No you f*****g wouldn't!" but acknowledged, "it's a fair point."
