Speaking on Capital Breakfast, Will revealed he and AJ are each facing obstacles ahead of filming.
He told the radio team: "I’ve got a stiff neck. It’s a bit better today, yesterday was bad, I’ve got an emergency physio in a couple of hours after this.
"It’s always good to just before the biggest show of the year, when you’re going to be live for six weeks, with all kinds of mad stuff, to not be able to move. "
Addressing co-host Chris Stark, Will added: ";So I’m sorry Chris I can’t really look at you [laughs], you’re on the wrong side!"
