Strictly Come Dancing star Tony Adams says he "fought back the fear" after a dressing room row with professional dancer Katya Jones which reminded him of his Arsenal days. The former footballer said his Strictly partner delivered some "home truths" ahead their American Smooth routine on Saturday night, after he had been "full of fear" during the dress rehearsal.
The Arsenal legend, 56, said the behind-closed-doors dressing-down reminded him of his former manager George Graham. Tony went on to achieve his best total score from the judges so far with 26 for their dance performed to Joe Cocker song 'With A Little Help from My Friends'.
The former Arsenal and England captain and Katya spoke about the backstage row on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two last night (October 18), reports Derbyshire Live. Tony said: "I was full of fear beforehand. We had a team talk. She came into my dressing room after our dress rehearsal and told me a few home truths about me holding back.
