Former Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan addressed Will Mellor’s “forgettable” dance on Saturday night. According to James, the EastEnders actor, 46, may have “peaked too early” as he was not happy with his latest output.
James said: “There were select moments in his routine that I did think were excellent, but I’m sad to say it was such a forgettable performance.
“I like Will and I still feel he has a lot more to offer because we saw what he did in Week One – but maybe he peaked too early.”
The professional dancer went on to explain his concern about Will being able to get to the final without putting out an impressive performance.
Admitting he expected Will to be in the bottom two, James said Will might have to perform a dance as memorable as his Week One jive, which saw him top the leaderboard.

James said: “I did, and I worry about that because I think that dance particularly suited him and it was so impressive for the first week.
“I’m just not sure if we’ll see Will in the final unless he delivers another ‘Week One’ moment sometime soon,” James added to Hello! magazine.
Will recently opened up about how his father’s death motivated him to go on Strictly and “create memories”.
Appearing on This Morning last week, Will discussed his journey on the BBC contest with dance partner Nancy Xu.
“I am going to say yes to more things and I am just going to grab life and run with it, and do it in his name.”
Will explained his father’s death has “really changed” his outlook on life.
He also opened up about wanting to help his mother deal with her grief through his Strictly routines each week as he hopes to remain in the competition for as long as possible.
“For my mum, she lost my dad, her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law in one year, and it was such a tough time for us all,” Will added.
