Out of this whirl

Star Adam exits Strictly with confidence boost

- TOM BRYANT

ACTOR Adam Thomas met his Waterloo on Strictly as he became the sixth contestant to be eliminated last night.

But the 35-year-old did not seem too upset.

The Waterloo Road star said: "I came here to learn how to dance and I've learned so much more about myself.

"The confidence and self belief I now have in myself, it's out of this world, I have to thank all these guys up here. What a bunch to be on this journey with, I'm just very, very lucky.

Adam faced the dance-off for the second week in a row after his rumba during Saturday's live show landed him joint bottom of the leaderboard with Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon, both receiving 27 points.
