Strictly's Adam Thomas shares cryptic post as illness threatens live show
Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas has shared a cryptic post as illness threatens to rule him out of tonight's Halloween special.
The actor was forced to pull out of a TV appearance this week after falling ill, forcing partner Luba to share his excuses and share her hope that he'd be back with her soon.
A spokesperson for BBC later revealed that there was still doubt as to whether the Waterloo Road star would be fit for Saturday night as the health of cast and crew was their 'absolute priority.' Adam had already been forced to cancel his training schedule last week after fears of a flu outbreak among the cast.
As his next live performance is still waiting to be given the green-light by producers, Adam took to Instagram to share a thoughtful post.
Adam shared a post that read he was 'letting go of what no longer serves' him in 2024 and other pledges for the year ahead. The star, 35, has yet to speak on his illness or confirm whether he will be performing tonight in the hotly-anticipated Halloween special.

"[Adam] is resting now. He just didn’t feel very well but he is resting and getting ready for tomorrow night," she added hopefully.
Adam had previously revealed that 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.”
