manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Adam Thomas may have been having the instructions given to him this week as he trained for his first performance on Strictly Come Dancing but the Waterloo Road star ended up having an instruction for his dance partner.

Adam and Luba Mushtuk will be seen properly in the ballroom for the first time on Saturday night (September 23). The actor, who is currently playing Donte Charles in Waterloo Road after reprising the role in the rebooted school-based drama earlier this year, took to Instagram with a snap of himself and Luba as they were papped leaving rehearsals before heading to London for their chance to practice in the ballroom. "So training is finally over… what a couple of days it’s been!!" Adam started the caption of his post. "Safe to say it’s been an emotional roller coaster and it’s only week one haha.

I hope Saturday night goes well not just for me but for this one @lubamushtuk too… really want to do you proud!!
