Strictly's Adam Thomas sends emotional message to partner after brutal night
Soap actor Adam Thomas has shared an emotional social media post after he and dance partner Luba Mushtuk were berated on Strictly Come Dancing for not performing well enough.
Sunday night will see the first celebrity and professional partner of the season eliminated after each of the fifteen pairings gave there all on the dance floor on Saturday night. And 35-year-old Adam appears to have hinted he could be on the chopping block as he shared a lengthy social media post analysing what happened on Saturday night's episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Emmerdale actor is partnered with 33-year-old Russian professional dancer Luba and on Saturday night they showed off their Cha-cha-cha while dancing to the sound of the Jonas Brothers’ song Waffle House. And despite looking happy to be on the dance floor, judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood awarded the couple some of the worst scores of the night.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday - hours before his fate would be revealed in the results show episode - Adam shared a snap of himself and Luba dancing together. He wrote: “Hey just want to thank you all for your kind words last night !!

But look we’re all human it happens just got to pick myself up and carry on !”
