Strictly stars debut in jeopardy as ‘shattered’ star suffers injury just 48 hours before live show | The Sun
CORRIE star Will Mellor has suffered a knee injury – just days before the first live Strictly show.
The 46-year-old shared a clip of himself icing his knees during rehearsals for the BBC dance show, admitting he was in “shock.”
In the video, an exhausted looking Will said: "Just in rehearsal for Strictly. Will's knees sponsored by peas."
He captioned it: "In rehearsal for @bbcstrictly!! My knees are in shock!! #tooldforthis #strictlycomedancing #dancing #badknees #shattered."
Will has previously expressed concern about his knees, after previously revealing he has struggled with them for over 10 years.
He told Digital Spy: "I don't want to get injured. I've got bad knees and football injuries, operations and stuff. I'm having to ice them every night.
