Strictly’s Adam Thomas reveals he’s been left unable to dance – after narrowly avoiding axe from the show

STRICTLY Come Dancing's Adam Thomas has revealed he has been left unable to dance after dodging getting axed from the BBC show this weekend.

There was a backstage panic recently after the Emmerdale star  had to pull out of an appearance on It Takes Two.

Then the previous week Adam was forced to miss rehearsals as he was struggling with a winter flu bug that hit the Strictly cast.

So its fair to say that his future on the BBC dance competition series was hanging by a thread.

But thankfully, he made it to Saturday night's performance and secured his spot for another week.

But now the actor and TV personality has updated his fans on his health, sharing that he won't be rehearsing today.

Adam posted a mirror selfie of himself on his Instagram stories, telling his 1 million followers: "No dancing today."

He added a sad face emoji to emphasise just how disappointed he was.

The former Waterloo Road star, suffers from the autoimmune condition rheumatoid arthritis.

It’s been a difficult time for Adam, who recently revealed he has been missing his wife-of-six years Caroline as he juggles Strictly with filming for Waterloo Road.

Speaking to The Sun, Adam said: “Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder because I’m constantly ringing her going, ‘God, I love you so much’.

“She just rang me, crying, going, ‘You don’t know how much it means’.
