'You know,' he'd say, 'he's got a head full of magic.' \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was right. There was something inside me, building up. I had only one thought - I want to perform.' Will Mellor is one of British television's best-loved actors and entertainers, known for standout roles in Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Hollyoaks, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Coronation Street, Line of Duty and Casualty. A fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing 2022, he reached the semi-finals before bowing out in the final dance-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Will's path has been anything but straightforward. His story is one of exhilarating highs and devastating lows - a lad from Stockport, Greater Manchester, who by all logic shouldn't have made it, yet whose grit, determination and the will to keep going refused to be extinguished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this no-holds-barred memoir, Will reflects with trademark honesty on the moments, relationships and turning points that shaped a turbulent life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning on the Strictly dancefloor - an emotional journey made even more powerful by the recent loss of his dad, Bill - Will travels back to his childhood in a loud and frantic council house with his mum and four older sisters, one of whom was mentally and physically disabled, and a father who spent time in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in that house that Will first dreamed of stardom. He genuinely wanted to run away to the circus. But this working-class kid from Stockport had no idea how to make those dreams real... until a chance encounter changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE CLEEVE BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57300426326391,"sku":"9781408739143","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0729\/3737\/files\/9781408739143.jpg?v=1784014726","url":"https:\/\/thecleevebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781408739143","provider":"The Cleeve Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
