As he faces his first Father's Day without his beloved dad Bill, actor Will Mellor, 44 – who starred in Hollyoaks, Line of Duty and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps – shares some lessons he's learned in life. I am an emotional man. My kids take the mick out of me because I cry at anything I see on TV that shows kids in pain.
When my dad Bill died in April, I filmed myself in tears and posted it on social media. I was very raw and uncertain whether I should do it, but everyone knew my dad, and I needed to let people know he’d died. If you’re suffering, speaking out helps. I wasn’t OK losing Dad, I was having a tough time, and I felt it was important to be honest about the pain I was in.
