Will Mellor is an actor having appeared and gained acclaim in Hollyoaks playing the part of James 'Jambo' Bolton for three years until leaving the show in 1998. Will's musical carrrer took off soon after when he released a single called 'When I Need You', which reached number five in the UK charts, as well as a follow up single called 'No Matter What I Do', which reached number twenty three.

Will got further involved in the music business when he made an appearance in the music video for Boyzone's Comic Relief single ''When The Going Gets Tough''.

He returned to acting soon after, playing Greg, in 'Is Harry on the Boat?'. He also played Jack Vincent in Casualty between 2001 and 2003 and has starred as Gaz Wilkinson in the comedy Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps since 2001.

Will made a brief cameo reappearance in a Christmas edition of Hollyoaks, in which he played the ghost of Jambo (although his character isn't dead). Will stared as ''Barmpot'' in postal worker drama 'Sorted' and has also played DC Jed Griffiths in the second series of Murder Investigation Team.

In 2003 Will won the very first series of the BBC singing contest, 'Comic Relief does Fame Academy', in aid of Comic Relief.

2007 saw Will joining the cast of Eastenders. He was featured in four episodes playing a flirty sales rep who takes a shine to Carly (Kellie Shirley), but when he accompanies her on a date, it apparently ends in disaster.

Will is very popular with PAs (Personal Appearances) and he is happy to sing a few songs along with the usual Meet and Greet.
