Strictly actor Adam Thomas looks misty-eyed as he lovingly kisses his dance partner Luba Mushtuk after the series finale celebrations

Adam Thomas looked bleary-eyed as he left the Strictly Come Dancing studios after the series finale on Saturday evening.

The Emmerdale actor, 35, appeared to be having a fantastic time after the event where Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were crowned champions, as he bid farewell to his dance partner Luba Mushtuk with a sweet kiss on the cheek.

After the live show, where almost the entire Class of 2023 reunited to watch the finalists, the celebrations appeared to be underway at Elstree Studios.

Dressed in his sequined shirt from the show, Adam left the event around 11pm, where he was picked up by friends after saying goodbye to Luba.

Adam, who has been married to his wife Caroline since 2017, left the competition in week seven after losing in a dance-off to the show's oldest contestant, Angela Rippon, and her professional partner Kai Widdrington.

Adam appeared to be having a wonderful time after the live show as he stepped out with his pro partner after their appearance on the show.

The cast of this year's series went out of their way to celebrate Ellie's win – fellow cast member Zara McDermott even revealed she was suffering from her “annual hangover” after the night of fun with her co-stars.

Last month, Adam admitted he was plagued by self-doubt as he overcame his debilitating illness to appear on the show.

Speaking to The Sun, the Waterloo Road actor expressed that the workload is incredibly challenging as he has very little time for his family.

Adam, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis earlier this year, admitted he had suffered health setbacks due to his joint condition and had to miss training due to a recent flu outbreak.

He said: “It's been an emotional few days because it's so tiring because of the workload.” “Some days are harder than others but it's worth it.”

Despite the difficulties, the Waterloo Road actor said he is aware that taking part in the show is only temporary and is therefore trying to make the most of it.

Adam went on to describe his wife as “incredible.”

Adam gushed about the blonde beauty, who he has been with for 15 years, and highlighted her commitment to their two children Teddy, nine, and Elsie, five, especially when it came to managing school runs and domestic tasks.

In the candid chat, Adam admitted he struggled with self-doubt at times due to coming from a family of TV personalities, which also included his brother Ryan and twin Scott.

However, over the course of his Strictly journey he has discovered a growing inner confidence and is now really proud of his progress on the show and has learned to believe in himself more.

He said, “It turns out I'm good enough and I should believe in myself a little more.”

“I’m really proud of what I’ve done on the show so far.”

It came after Adam left his wife Caroline in tears during Saturday night's show after she performed a heartbreaking rumba.
