Adam Thomas makes celeb pals and fans 'cry' with video of son finding out about Waterloo Road role

Adam Thomas has reduced his celebrity pals and legion of fans to tears as he shared an emotional video of his son discovering he had landed a role on Waterloo Road. The Manchester actor has recently been seen back on screen as he reprised the role of Donte Charles in the rebooted school drama.

Fans were delighted in 2021 when the BBC announced it would be reviving the show and just days into the new year, Waterloo Road returned to screens for the first time in almost eight years after it was axed. The show, which ran from 2006 to 2015, was first filmed at Hill Top Primary School in Rochdale before relocating to Scotland. And the reboot has seen the team return to Greater Manchester.

Previously speaking about his return to the show, Adam, who is the twin brother of 2016 Love Island contestant Scott Thomas and the younger brother of former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, said he felt 'very lucky' to be back playing former bad boy turned doting dad and husband, Donte.
