The Strictly star called his followers out after he was accused of "always being on holiday".
Will Mellor hit out at fans who criticised him for enjoying holidays with his familyEnjoying the sunshine as he walked along a canal, Will addressed the trolls: "I post pictures and videos of me enjoying my time with my family away and all that stuff.
"And I've had a few comments saying 'you just spend your whole life on holiday, it's alright for you'," he said in a mock whiney voice.
"As if. I work away a lot and I don't see my family when I'm working away and I feel a bit guilty.

Fans rushed to reassure and support, with one writing: "You should not have to explain. Just enjoy the quality time with your family."
"Will why on earth are you explaining yourself to anyone. You work hard and are entitled to do what you want when you want!! How dare anyone even question you," echoed another.
