Strictly fans fear for Will Mellor as he reveals he’s been battered with injuries and has ‘purple feet’

STRICTLY Come Dancing's Will Mellor has said he's been left battered by the show's gruelling rehearsals.

The actor has had to content with persistent knee problems and told The One Show viewers he's got "purple feet".

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.
