Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas and his partner Luba Mushtuk have been booted from the show.

The glitzy BBC One show returned to screens on Sunday night (October 5) for its latest results show. After showing off their best moves on the night before, it was time for another couple to leave the dancing competition.

Unfortunately, Adam and Luba were placed in the bottom two following the public vote. They ultimately had to face off against Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington.

The soap star pulled in 27 points from the judges on Saturday night for his performance – and was at the bottom of the leaderboard.

As he performed his second dance off of the series, Adam failed to win over the judges. Ultimately they made a unanimous decision to save Angela and Kai.

Luba was overcome with emotion speaking to the hosts, as tears filled up with her eyes. While Adam gushed about his time on the show too.

“Seven incredible weeks what a journey its been," he told Tess. The Emmerdale actor added: "I thought I’d be leaving in week two and I’ve got this far."

Turning to Luba he issued a heartfelt apology. "I'm sorry darling," he said. "I wanted to get you to Blackpool," Adam added, while laughing.

Fans of Strictly were devastated to see Adam go. Over on X, formerly known as Twitter, one person fumed: “Oh no Adam, was hoping he would be in longer.” A second penned: "Sad to see Adam go!"

Someone else added: "I'm so gutted to say goodbye to Adam & Luba. They have so much potential and based on last night's performances, they did not deserve to be in the dance-off. And before people have a go at me, Angela R wasn't deserving of the dance-off either, and I did vote for Adam."
