Tony Adams: Last News

(sic)@sherriesilver laughed: "This bum of yours has gone through a lot! Slapped every week!"@harrysurplus excused the moment when Tony fell down with his legs in the air, and assured him the judges would have loved his performance, quipping: "I’m sure it would have been 10s all round Tony."However, @jjwooley argued: "I thought they were harsh this week and the full Monty week - talked all about the comedy yet you
