Host Alex Jones spoke for many as she told Coronation Street's Will: "We're all worried about your knees."

He told her: "My knees are bad but my feet are purple - I don't think that's normal.

"I'm sat there with my feet - found my wife's foot spa and I've got ice in too.

"Honestly, my knees are like a Blue Peter project. I've got that much sticky tape on there, just holding it all together."

Will, 46, went on: "It's not for old people is it, this show. My body doesn't know what's going on."

One viewer gasped: "Strictly is brutal!" while another encouraged him: "Will be worth it when you lift the glitter ball 🔥🙌."

Another tried to look on the bright side, telling him: "At least you don't have to wear heals 😂."

Tomorrow night, Strictly viewers will see Will and Nancy performing the Quickstep to Soda Pop by Robbie Williams featuring Michael Bublé.
