Will Mellor shares why he’d ‘never’ do another reality show after Strictly Come Dancing
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Will Mellor has shared why he would "never" do another reality show after the BBC competition.
The Coronation Street actor, who is currently competing in the ballroom show alongside pro-dancer Nancy Xu, has insisted that "this is it" for him on reality TV.
Will, 46, explained that while he's glad to be "doing the biggest" of the reality shows, he won't be signing up for any more after Strictly.
He exclusively told The Sun Online: "This is it for me. If you’re going to do one do the biggest one and I’m glad I’ve learnt a skill every week.
"I couldn’t sit on a show just waiting to be voted out, I’d rather at least learn a skill and put my hand to something and really get my teeth into it.
"I’m enjoying every minute of it and I don’t want to just be in a popularity competition. This will be it for me, I think."

It comes after Will opened up about how he keeps the spark alive in his 15-year marriage to his wife Michelle McSween.
The pair - who share two kids together Jayden, 18, and Renee, 14 - tied the knot in 2007 after meeting in 1999.
The actor revealed date nights are very much still on the cards and that the pair have a day each week blocked off for each other.
“We do date night every week. We find it hard at the moment though because I am on the dance floor on Strictly every Saturday, but usually Saturday night is always date night," he said.

Will, 46, and Michelle met in the late 90s when they were both starring in Oh, What a Night on stage at the Opera House in Manchester.
They started dating and got married eight years later.
Will is currently competing on this series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional Nancy, 31 - and recently admitted he's the "fittest he's felt in years".
Speaking to the he said: “My wife certainly doesn’t mind… I look good now.
“I’m 46 – I’m not a young man anymore, but I feel the fittest I’ve felt in years. It’s really good.”
He added: “It’s a shame that when Strictly finishes, it’s not summer so that I can get my shirt off on a beach somewhere.
