The Waterloo Road star has been ill
BBC bosses are putting 'contingencies in place' in case Adam Thomas is not well enough to compete in tonight's Strictly Come Dancing show. The Mancunian actor has been suffering from illness and pulled out of a scheduled appearance on the show's spin off programme It Takes Two last night.
Luba explained to viewers that Adam was too sick to appear in front of the cameras and needed to rest. The drama comes days after Amanda Abbington quit the series after initially pulling out of last week's live show for 'medical reasons.' Adam has not posted to social media since he revealed his wife and two children were travelling down from Manchester to see him in action this weekend. A BBC spokesperson has since told the Mirror: “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 well-being of the Strictly cast and crew is production’s absolute priority.
Despite the setback, the actor scored 32 points on Saturday night's show, earning a nine for the first time for his Couple's Choice to Backstreet Boys Medley with pro partner Luba. Following the show a relieved Adam was delighted with his score after a difficult week.
