I broke down in tears after first Strictly dance… it’s a miracle I didn’t drown my sorrows, says Tony Adams
STRICTLY’S Tony Adams has told how he broke down in tears after freezing during his first dance, admitting: “It’s a miracle I didn’t run to the pub and drown all that sorrow.” The former Arsenal and England skipper, 26 years sober after battling drink and drug demons, revealed he cried “a lot” after the ballroom disaster, which saw him at the bottom of the leaderboard. In the first show, dressed in a red waistcoat with No6 on the back, he got a brutal score of 15 for his tango. But he has come back fighting with the help of pro partner Katya Jones — who he says is a mix of his no-nonsense Gunners manager George Graham and thinking man’s boss Arsene Wenger.
