Tony Adams made an emotional appeal to viewers watching at home about mental health and addiction as he made a sad exit from Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday, withdrawing due to injury before the dance-off.
While he has been thoroughly entertaining week in, week out, alongside Strictly pro partner Katya Jones, former Arsenal defender Tony never really set the leaderboard alight, apart from in Halloween Week, when he and Katya earned a series high score for their Quickstep to the Devil Went Down to Georgia. The couple were languishing at the bottom of the standings again on Saturday night, despite fans at home lapping up their jive to Land of a Thousand Dances.
That meant Tony and Katya had it all to do going into the public vote and, unfortunately for them, unlike in weeks hone by, they didn't get enough support from viewers to escape the bottom two, landing in the bottom for the first time. They were the first in danger pair to learn their fate, after the first round of results also condemned Tyler West and Dianne Buswell a dance-off debut, after eight weeks of avoiding it.
