Hadn't heard any of these claims but clearly bogus. I can remember seeing him at least 3 tiimes in montages throughout the night.

Considering he was in the title sequence for the whole series and definitely in the montages as you said, I think someone needs to go to Specsavers!

A bit of a daft story, since Will made the decision not to attend the final. Therefore, he wasn't invited to be a 'talking head' on the VTs - it would have been bizarre to have someone who walked early on, talking about how much they enjoyed the experience! Clips of Will dancing did pop up in at least one of the general 'Story Of The Series' VTs, so he certainly wasn't 'airbrushed' out of the final - they just concentrated on the finalists and all the other contestants who had participated in the competition and turned up for the final, which is fair enough!

I agree with this and whilst I will defend to the death Will's decision to leave and oppose his vilification for doing so it isn't strange or inappropriate that he wasn't there talking about or dancing with the other contestants. Also he was shown in clips and one of the public talking heads mentioned his salsa so not airbrushed just side lined by his own choice ultimately.

Maybe they should have done what HIGNFY did with Nicky Morgan's handbag and had a mannequin wearing one of Will's hideous rehearsal outfits there to be pushed about by Karen.

It's the Sun and Dan Wootton who are driving all these stupid stories about Will, they were badmouthing him even before the show started.

The media really are the pits for picking up such rubbish and running with it, adding little snippets, they all run around in circles with contradictory stories, other news outlets copy and repeat them for days then spend the following days on why the first story wasn't true in the first place! Crazy.

I doubt he was 'airbrushed', more likely he opted out which was quite right really as he had to leave early. No point having an inquest on it which isn't fair to Strictly or to Will, who always strikes me as a decent enough chap. Stuff happens, we move on.

Terry is on a late surge. Difficult not to draw comparisons with Terry's forum disappearance too. You could BE Will, Terry.
Think about it... did anybody see Will and Terry in the same room.
