Adam Thomas comments following an emotional 'It wasn't so bad,' he says while doing a strict show.

Adam Thomas addressed his emotional response to last night’s performance in Strictly Come Dancing 2023 on Instagram.

Adam Thomas, a star of the television show Waterloo Road, has posted on Instagram to share with his one million fans how he felt about his Strictly Come Dancing performance last night.

The judges had mixed feelings about the former Emmerdale actor and his professional partner Luba Mushtuk’s hot Tango performance to the rock tune Somebody Told Me by The Killers.

The routine earned them 23 points, which put them in the center of the leaderboard, but Adam didn’t appear happy with his performance.

He spoke to program host Claudia Winkleman while trying to hold back tears, and as they went upstairs to join her and the other dancers, she expressed concern for him.

She told him not to punish himself. “Do not. We won’t accept it as a group, she continued, as his other performers gathered around to give him a big bear embrace.

After some thought, he wrote a message on the social networking platform today outlining what transpired. He started off by expressing gratitude to everyone for their “kind words last night”.

Looking back, he replied, “it wasn’t so bad.””However, I am aware that I could have done better, and I just punish myself for it!

“I can be the toughest on myself at times, but it’s difficult when you put so much effort into training and then fail to cross the finish line!

“I just believe that I put too much pressure on myself, and my nerves won out! But look, that happens to everyone; I just have to dust myself off and keep going, he vowed.

“And thanks to everyone who danced last night, professionals included… Magnanimously, he said, “Just another show-stopping performance yet again.

He concluded by sincerely thanking his companion, writing: “@lubamushtuk, I adore you! I appreciate you being so unique, x.

Fans are anticipating tonight’s first elimination as Adam makes his comments.

Following the addition of audience votes to the judges’ scores to determine which two couples advance to the dreaded dance-off, one celebrity will be eliminated.
