Adam Thomas admits Strictly Come Dancing is helping his arthritis

Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas appeared downcast a day after landing himself in the dance-off with partner Luba Mushtuk.

Despite surviving the dreaded bottom-two, the 35-year-old didn’t look his usual upbeat self as he posted a selfie on his Instagram stories.

The dad-of-two shared a mirror selfie for his million followers to see, but looked a far cry from his happy and jovial self.

“No dancing today,” he wrote, along with a disappointed face emoji.

The Waterloo Road star was in the bottom two on Sunday night’s results show, but managed to get through to next week.

He faced tough competition, but in the end it was Zara McDermott and her partner Graziano Di Prima that were sent home.

Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and head judge Shirley Ballas all opted to save Adam over Zara.

On Saturday night, Adam and Luba, 33, performed an American Smooth to Magic Moments by Perry Como for Halloween week.

The pair received 32 points out of 40 and earnt praise from the judges after their wizard-inspired routine.

However, Adam’s future on the show was also thrown in doubt last week when he pulled out of It Takes Two on Friday night.

The BBC confirmed he would be performing on Saturday night after his no-show on the spin-off series.

After being introduced to the BBC show, Adam’s dance partner Luba Mushtuk explained his absence to hosts Janette Manrara and Fleur East.

She explained: “He is resting now, he didn’t feel very well but he is resting and getting ready for tomorrow night, everything will be fine.”

Fleur let out a sigh of relief and said: “Ok, good, take all the rest you need Adam, we love you.”

On Friday, a Strictly spokesperson said: “We are hopeful Adam will be better and able to perform this weekend.

“There are contingencies in place should he not be able to. The health and wellbeing of the Strictly cast and crew is production’s absolute priority.”
