Strictly's Katya Jones pays sweet tribute to Tony Adams after he withdraws from the competition
"Actions speak a thousand words, and you led by example. By throwing yourself into this wild experience, totally surrendering to it, by showing up every single day and doing your absolute best – you connected and resonated with so many people at home. You inspired them, you entertained them, you gave them hope and without a doubt saved lives.
Going on to say that the experience was much more than just about his message, however, Katya praised how Tony had transformed over the series. "I don't think you were prepared for what it [would] turn into for yourself. Seeing you challenge yourself day in, day out, overcome fears, open up, evolve and grow as a human has been beautiful to witness.
"To see you learn, become a dancer and enjoy it made me very happy. To be there by your side and guide you through this has been an honour. We both know that it’s not been an easy ride physically and emotionally, but for me personally – it has been utterly rewarding. I've gained a friend and the entire family!!"
