Former football Tony Adams has finally broken his silence after he decided to leave Strictly Come Dancing. The 56-year-old made the shock announcement on Sunday after he sustained an injury on the show.
His hilarious routines with partner Katya Jones proved to be a hit with viewers but when he discovered they were in the dance-off with Dianne Buswell and Tyler West, he withdrew suddenly from the competition due to a knee injury from Thursday. The former Arsenal captain had to cancel rehearsals on Friday leaving him with a big decision to make about Saturday's performance.
On backstage show Strictly: It Takes Two, Tony said: "They gave me the choice, they were very professional the BBC. The physio was first class, they said 'It's your decision Tony, do you want to go for it?' my wife said 'My mum's coming, you've got to dance', I looked into her eyes and she went 'Hmm... Come on!'
