Great to see this gorgeous hunk giving his comments.
When are we going to see him back on tv? What is he doing now.

I agree! Nice surprise to see him! Loved him and Hanna.

Well, he has a wife and (I believe) kids...
He was a good ballroom dancer snd could have had an arc similar to Matt Dawson or Gethin, except he didn't have the fan-base, so became one of Fiona Phillip's victims.

Oops. Sorry. Goes to show not all campy-looking men are gay.

I didn't think he was "campy looking" at all.
IIRC he did have a few problems relaxing when dancing but the talent was there.
Funny guy though and a little underrated. Would have done better with a different partner.

He never did quite get it with the latin. Oddly enough I was just rewatching series 3 and his cha cha to start with was so stiff. It was like someone super glued his hips in place! Unfortunately I remember him most for having the worst tango music in the history of the show.

If Matt Dawson or Gethin had been voted out at the same point, you could probably have said exactly the same thing.
I loved their Foxtrot to Dream a little Dream of Me by Mamma Cass. One of the best dances of series 3. 
I think they suffered a bit as Hanna was an unknown pro with no fan base.

True but we can only judge on what he did not what might possibly have happened. Gethin I don't think was ever as wooden as that. I can't really remember what Matt's early Latin was like - whether it was stiff or just lacked attack and performance.

Will went out after Fiona.
Week One: Siobhan
Week Two: Jaye (now THERE was someone who went out too early)
Week Three: Gloria
Week Four: Fiona
Week Five: Dennis (I LOVED Dennis and Izabella - esp. their Jive!
)Week Six: Will
Week Seven: Bill
Week Eight: Patsy
SF: James
F: Zoe, Colin and Darren
Nice as Bill and James were, Will should have done better than them!
I think the four females out in the first four weeks is what promted the male/female week decision.... you have only yourselves to blame.....

He used to be in Casualty - I dunno if he's done anything else.

Have to say he set my gaydar off too especially one week when he was wearing a see through shirt and camping it up big time. My chin almost literally hit the floor when he introduced his wife.

That was his Cha Cha. TBH which male celeb doesn't look slightly less than macho when dancing that in the costumes they put them in - gay or straight?

I didn't know anything about him till Strictly, am not a Casualty viewer, but he was really sweet with Hanna as a couple, that was her one and only series, and I liked them lots. They got a lot of flak from the Judges as you can imagine, but Will took it in good part, and Hanna, bless her, was a lovely pro. Series 3.
Here are their dances, the Foxtrot was my favourite.

The only other thing I know he has done is an appearance on a double episode of Doctor Who when the Devil was trying to escpae form a Black Hole or something and he had been possessed by the Devil's mind.

The BBC didn't ask them back I don't think. I know they now focus on the professional career her and Andrew have, as they compete for Finland.

Bill had Karen and James had Camilla - probably more pro fan bases then WIll's partner.
