Meet the proud neighbours backing their 'lovely' star to be Strictly champ
EVERY Saturday, inside the busy Mellors Cafe in Romiley, Stockport, an unlikely scene unfolds.
Diners will pause from eating their full English breakfasts and supping a cuppa, and suddenly break into a little dance.
"It's become a bit of a custom," laughs Mellors Cafe owner Cheryl Taylor.
"Every Saturday I wait until a few are in, we stop what we're doing, I turn the Strictly music on and they all start dancing with their coffees."
The reason? Well everybody in this bustling Stockport village has gone Strictly Come Dancing crazy. And that's thanks to Romiley's most famous son actor Will Mellor dancing up a storm on the hit BBC celebrity dance show.
TV star Will grew up in this part of Stockport, and Mellors Cafe in the village is owned by Will's older sisters, Cheryl and Sarah. Although it feels like pretty much everyone knows Will here as I walk up and down Romiley high street.
