Strictly Come Dancing's Adam Thomas might 'struggle' on the dancefloor next week as he isn’t feeling ‘as strong or confident’ due to a number of setbacks relating to illness.The 35-year-old Waterloo Road star hasn't had the easiest of times on the hit show, having been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis months before starting, and being forced to miss important training due to illness.

On Saturday 28 October, Adam and his professional partner Luba Mushtuk found themselves in the bottom two couples with ex-Love Islander Zara McDermott, 26, and Graziano Di Prima, 29, but were ultimately saved by the judges.

Body language expert Darren Stanton has analysed last weekend’s Strictly performances and says he suspects Adam's confidence in himself is sliding. “Adam and Luba will struggle next week.

I think we've seen Adam reach his time in terms of any more progress as a dancer. I can't see him wowing the judges this week, but if he is able to, he will need to pull something out of the bag," Darren said, speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino. "What people admire about Adam is his enthusiasm and passion for being in the competition, which does go a long way.
