Waterloo Road actor Adam Thomas has revealed that he has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, after he was announced as one of the latest signings for Strictly Come Dancing.
"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. I never knew what was happening and finally after several blood tests and back and forth to doctors and hospitals, I’ve been diagnosed with rheumatoid Arthritis!" "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!
"The reason I signed up to strictly is because I just want to be able to move again, get fit and do it, all with a smile on my face!
