Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas revealed the news on his social media last night
Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas is set to join a star-studded Strictly Come Dancing line-up for its 2023 series this year, joining other soap icons such as Bobby Brazier, Nigel Harman and Ellie Leach.
The dad-of-two said he had been suffering from pain for eight months and finally got a diagnosis after a battle with his doctors for answers. He spoke about the issue candidly to his one million fans on Instagram on Thursday night. "As much as I act like a kid, my body is telling another story… I’ve been in a lot of pain since January, it started with my knees and then traveled to my wrists, fingers and now ankles and toes.
"And I just want to say thank you to @carolinethomas23 and the kids for going on this journey with me, as I know it’s been challenging and frustrating at times but hopefully we’re on the right path now! "It really couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m a firm believer of everything happening for a reason, and I know the journey I’ve been on was meant to happen, to never take small things in life for granted! …Like going for a run, playing with my kids and just being able to walk with no pain!
