Strictly Come Dancing's Tony Adams 'on the verge' of leaving show weeks after win prediction

Tony Adams is widely tipped to leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, just weeks after it was reported he could be in with a real shot of winning the show, after a huge swell of support for the Arsenal legend.

While he hasn't yet troubled the top of the leaderboard, ex England defender Tony has definitely been one of the most talked about stars in the Strictly ballroom this year. He donned the Arsenal colours for a football inspired routine to Go West in week one, before stripping off for a Full Monty themed performance, which left the judges and viewers at home lost for words.

Tony and pro partner Katya Jones have yet to drop into the dance-off, a fact that has been a bone of contention for some Strictly fans, as good dancers have had to battle to keep their place in the competition. The couple's series high came in Halloween Week, when they received their highest score yet, as it was reported that Tony was doing very well in the public vote, due to a some orchestrated support from Arsenal fans.
