Strictly's Adam Thomas pulls out of It Takes Two appearance ahead of Saturday

Strictly Come Dancing's Adam Thomas pulled out of Friday's spin-off show, It Takes Two, due to "feeling under the weather" as pro partner Luba Mushtuk revealed he was resting up ahead of Saturday's live show.

During the episode, host Fleur East revealed she was meant to be talking to both Adam, 35, and Luba, 33, but that Adam had pulled out of the interview due to feeling "under the weather". Fleur, 35, said: "Unfortunately, Adam's feeling a bit under the weather. But please welcome the lovely Luba!"

To which Luba joked: "It's so strange to be here by myself!" she added: "He [Adam] is resting now, he just hasn't felt very well, but he is resting and getting ready for tomorrow night so everything will be fine!"

It comes after Adam was reportedly banned from rehearsals last week after falling ill. The Waterloo Road star revealed he had fallen ill last week and posted a photo of himself in bed. Taking to Instagram at the time, he told fans: "Of all weeks to be poorly!", and said he was downing Berocca and coffee in a bid to get well again.

However, despite his illness, Adam managed to perform last weekend, where he and Luba received an impressive 32 points for their Couple's Choice to Backstreet Boys Medley by Backstreet Boys.

It's been a dramatic week for Strictly after Amanda Abbington quit the hit BBC One dance competition after she missed last weekend's episode due to "medical reasons". The news was shared on spin-off show, It Takes Two, on Monday as host Fleur read aloud a statement from a Strictly spokesperson which said: "Amanda Abbington is unable to continue in Strictly Come Dancing and has decided to withdraw from the competition. The show wishes her all the best for the future."

Amanda, 51, has since broken her silence after it was revealed she had quit Strictly. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, she posted a shot of her dancing shoes followed by a statement. She said: "It is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly. I did not come to this decision easily or lightly but for personal reasons I am unable to continue.

"It was an absolute joy working with my fellow contestants, they are a beautiful, hardworking and talented group of people who I love and who I will miss seeing every Friday and Saturday and competing alongside. I want to thank the incredible Production team and everyone on Strictly who looked after me and who are so kind and caring. It’s a wonderful bunch of people and I’ll miss all of them."

Signing off her statement, Amanda added: "I’m so sad that I am unable to go any further. Thank you to everyone who voted and who sent wonderful messages and inspiring support. You are all amazing. Truly. Thank you. xxx."
