Actor and Strictly Come Dancing star visits poorly newborns at Walsall hospital
An actor and Strictly Come Dancing star has paid a visit to parents and their newborns staying at a neonatal unit.
Will Mellor, who showcased his dance moves in the hit BBC show last year and has also appeared in Line of Duty and Broadchurch, visited the unit at Walsall Manor Hospital on Friday.
The Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps star took a tour of the new parents rooms on the unit.
The rooms have recently undergone a transformation thanks to Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust charity Well Wishers' and Libby Mae's Little Angels, with donations from Annette's Pram Shop and Marks & Spencer, Wednesbury.
The Strictly Come Dancing star reportedly praised the rooms, which had been given a makeover to provide parents staying at the hospital with a "home from home".
He posted on his Instagram praising the new parents rooms and said he was proud to be linked to the charity.
The hospital said it would be releasing more information about the visit on Monday.
