Strictly star Will Mellor, 46, has confessed his wife’s adoration for his body since he’s become the “fittest he’s felt in years”.
According to Will, his wife of 15 years, Michelle McSween, loves his new physique after seeing him shed the pounds since appearing on the hit BBC dance show.
The former Coronation Street actor has been dubbed a “sex god” and “hunk” by the show’s loyal fans since hitting the dance floor.

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.
“I might have to fly somewhere hot when this is all over just so I can get my new body out!”
Despite his wife having puppy eyes over his Strictly stint, Will confessed that his teenage children, Jayden, 18, and 13-year-old Renee, are less than impressed.
He confessed: “My kids don’t find it cool when I’m dancing around the house.”

He added: “They tell me to sit down and stop it.”
“I just let myself go,” he says. “Music flows through me and the hips just take over. I can’t help it!”
Will’s feel-good attitude comes after he sprung back in his step after being struck down by a virus that left him bedbound last week.
He was only able to put in one day of training last week and admitted he was asleep in his dressing room before his rumba to The Joker and the Queen by Ed Sheeran.
