Strictly Come Dancing result sees Adam Thomas exit after ‘closest’ dance-off against Angela Rippon

Adam Thomas has become the latest celebrity to be given the boot from Strictly Come Dancing, after being in the dance-off with Angela Rippon, one of the most consistent high scorers of the new series. And there has been a lot of debate online as to whether the judges made the right call, as some fans were quick to condemn their decision.

Given that he was in the bottom two last week, Adam was the clear bookies favourite to be eliminated this week, alongside pro partner Luba Mushtuk. They won the dance-off against Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima last week and, after it was confirmed that they’d be doing a rumba on Saturday night’s Strictly live show, some critics said that Adam was being ‘set up’ for a fail, given that many celebs have seen their rumbas much maligned by the panel over the years.




After their performance, Adam and Luba ended up joint bottom, alongside Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu, with Angela R and her dance partner Kai Widdrington, just one point ahead on 28 out of 40. And, having finished third on the leaderboard just two weeks ago and getting a very good 33 last week, Angela and Kai had their first brush with elimination, after falling into the dance-off for the first time.

As with every week so far of Strictly 203, it was a unanimous decision that kept Angela and Kai in the competition, as all four judges opted to keep them in, just two weeks before Strictly goes to Blackpool. However, with Adam was joint bottom on scores, some fans were quick to argue that he should have been kept in ahead of Angela.

Posting on X, one annoyed fan wrote: “Sorry, wrong decision completely. The person they’ve sent home had a lot of potential to keep getting better, and their scores have been consistently climbing since week 1. The one they kept is great but not getting any better” and in agreement another wrote: “Feel sorry for Adam, he had more to give. Angela better have a faster routine next week, as I’m fed up with her doing slow dances.”
