Tony Adams was forced to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing due to injury.
Week eight of the competition kicked off to a rally of fanfare as the celebrities gave their best performances yet. Everyone received incredible scores from the judges as some even managed to pull several tens out of the bag.
During tonight's elimination show, sports pundit Tony Adams and his professional partner, Katya Jones, found themselves in the dance-off but a dramatic turn of events flipped the show on its head.

Instead of going head to head against another couple to stay in the competition, Tess Daly issued an alarming message to viewers. During last night's show, Tony injured himself so badly, he was unable to continue on any further.
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."
Asked about his time on the show, Tony said: "It’s been emotional guys, I cried for the first month. I came in here with one message, if you’ve got an issue with mental health then please don’t suffer in silence and reach out for help.
"Little did I know that I was going to learn a lot about myself in the process. I thought this ‘journey’ rubbish was nonsense, but my god the rollercoaster of emotion. I’ve got to be honest, it’s tough, physically it’s really tough out there, but dancing is really fantastic for you.
"Go out there and enjoy it and pick up new skills and explore. I suppose I had better mention this one [Katya] hadn’t I, she is an exceptional human being, she really is.”
