Adam replied: “That's happened two hours ago as well , it was all over my T-shirt!

I just don't know anymore… I am bleeding because I am working too hard. That is commitment."

On the show Janette joked: “Katya is highly competitive, she's making you get nosebleeds and everything, we didn't want to leave you out Katya because he is an Olympic champion,” before Adam revealed that he has brought her a medal for “breaking an Olympian”. Putting it on, Katya laughed: "For breaking an olympian! Isn't it weird that I get pleasure out of this?”

Adam shared a post of himself with Katya on the show, and admitted that his feet has also swollen up from the tough training. He wrote: “My first time on It Takes Two! I had a blast talking about last Saturday and can’t wait for this weeks Quick Step routine! I’ve really struggled with my feet this week and I’ve been in ALOT of pain but @katyajones has carried me through! My shoes wouldn’t actually fit as they have swelled up so much.” We hope he gets better soon!
