Waterloo Road star Adam Thomas reveals medical issue ahead of Strictly debut
"I never knew what was happening and finally after several blood tests and back and forth to doctors and hospitals, I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid Arthritis! I thought that was something people, later on in their life get... but that's not the case, clearly!
"It's been a tough old year but ... Finally I'm on the right plan now! Finally getting it under control. For now! But some days are better than others and am not going to lie, it's been hard not being able to train properly, [it] has had a huge [knock-on] effect for me personally, but not only that for my family too!!" Thomas continued.
"And I just want to say thank you to @carolinethomas23 and the kids for going on this journey with me, as I know it's been challenging and frustrating at times but hopefully we're on the right path now! "I don't know too much about the condition yet as am still learning but, what I have done is learnt a lot about myself and the fact I'd be lost [without] this lot!"
