Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas has revealed that he believes the infamous "Strictly curse" has already affected him. The ex-Emmerdale actor, who is partnered with Russian dancer Luba Mushtuk, made the comparison to his wife Caroline, whom he has been married to since 2017.

Adam spills the beans on backstage gossip

In a podcast episode of Mancs on the Mic with his brothers Ryan and Scott, Adam shared some juicy backstage details about Strictly Come Dancing. He stated, "The Strictly curse has happened. I know... I couldn't believe it myself but me and Luba..." However, he quickly added, "I'm joking," prompting laughter from his brothers.

Luba resembles Caroline, says Adam's brother Scott

Adam's brother Scott, a former contestant on Love Island, commented on Luba's resemblance to Adam's wife Caroline. Adam confirmed, "She does... she does." This lighthearted moment injects some humor into the conversation about the Strictly curse.

Nerve-wracking experience for Adam

Adam and Luba performed the Cha Cha Cha to "Waffle House" by the Jonas Brothers during last week's live show. However, moments before the performance, Adam admitted he had "forgotten the routine" and was close to "throwing up." He described the experience as the most nerve-wracking of his life, stating, "My head, my mind, everything just went to mush."

Autopilot saves the day for Adam

Despite his nerves and forgotten routine, Adam managed to overcome his anxiety and deliver a successful performance on the Strictly Come Dancing stage. He revealed, "Thankfully, my legs did... [I went into] autopilot, and my legs just looked up at me and went 'don't worry, mate, we'll take it from here, you just keep smiling, mate.'"

Adam's journey on Strictly Come Dancing continues, and fans will be eagerly watching to see how he fares throughout the competition.
