Strictly Come Dancing fans have been speaking out in defence of Tony Adams after questioning the reasons for his sudden exit. The former footballer landed in the bottom two as the BBC One dance contest returned with its results show on Sunday evening.
Tony and professional dance partner Katya Jones were set to compete in the dance-off against Tyler West and Dianne Buswell after failing to impress with their jive to Land Of 1,000 Dances by Wilson Pickett, which saw them earn just 24 out of a possible 40 ponts and bottom place on the leaderboard.
However, just as viewers were about to witness both couples dance again in a bid to stay in the competition and make it through to the much-anticipated Blackpool week, Strictly co-host Tess Daly made an announcement. She said: "Due to an injury sustained on Saturday night, Tony is unable to take part in the dance-off and has decided to withdraw from the competition. This means there will be no dance-off tonight and Tyler and Dianne are through to Blackpool."
