But at the same time, Adam was arranging the move, his eatery was going down the pan.
Following reports the once popular venue had been boarded up, the actor confirmed the news of the eatery’s closure, last year by thanking all his customers.

“But after 3 years we felt the time was right for us to move on.”
In the summer of last year, Adam and his wife proudly unveiled their new house.
Adam penned an emotional message to fans, thanking them for their support during their journey pf buying a house.
He said: “This year has been the craziest year of my life and am very aware of how lucky I am, and I know my lucks going to run out soon… but until it does, I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.”
