Will Young has reportedly refused to turn up to the Strictly Come Dancing final.

The former Pop Idol winner was a contestant the series but left the show for personal reasons.

The final usually welcomes back every eliminated star for one last dance but Will won’t be taking part.

A source told The Sun: “He was asked to be part of the group dance… it’s a great routine which welcomes back this year’s class of 2016. He politely declined.”

Will is said to have left the show because he fought with his dance partner Karen Clifton and because of negative comments from judge Len Goodman.

Len’s fellow judge Darcey Bussell believed he could have made it to the final of the show.

On his departure, she told the Mail Online: “It’s sad. Unfortunately being a judge we are not allowed to see the rehearsals or what happened during the week so you don’t know the ins and outs and you only arrive on the day of the live show…

“It’s horrifying to think that somebody who could have easily got to the final (has left). But you know, like in anybody’s lives, you have many thins that are going on and it is not to do with Len Goodman - just to make that clear.”
