Will shared a video on Instagram, explaining the reality of his condition. "I want to apologise for the way I sound, I've not been well at all this week. I went into training on Monday and I just had to go home because I was feeling poorly and I've been laid up ever since. I've got a bug, a virus, whatever you want to call it."

"I was aching all over, he continued. "I've just done Strictly It Takes Two and a lot of people were commenting saying 'you sound really poorly' so I wanted to say thanks for your comments, but I probably sound worse than I am because I coughed my throat out."
The 46-year-old explained that he'd tried to train that day, eager to learn the steps as he still plans to perform live on Saturday night. "I just hope I can get through it," he said, before sharing that he's dancing to Ed Sheeran's track The Joker and The Queen.
