"I didn't know how much it meant to me until I got a bit emotional after my dance off; however, I don't think it was the dancing that pushed me over the edge, but the two years of the constant challenge with myself combined with the energy to win the Olympics and becoming a father at the same time.
Adam shared a heartfelt message with his fans
"My emotions are one of my strongest attributes and I'm not ashamed to show that I'm human," the 26-year-old stated.

"It's crazy to me because I thought I was 'ok' but I am not. We all have to wear a piece of armour to get the job done and it wasn't until this week that I knew I could let it go. I'm still healing from the trials and tribulations that elite sporting athletes go through but with that I'm also adapting and learning from life."

Of his partner, the athlete said: "Thank you Katya for being there every single day, you are incredible. I don't have enough positive words for you and what an amazing person and dancer you are. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes, you are brilliant. I'm so grateful for everyone who has made this experience so amazing. @tillyramsay you were incredible and I'm so glad you get to show how much of an amazing dancer you are again next week!
"For the people who tried to bring us down throughout the show, please challenge yourself to be better. The world needs much more positivity and truth.

"Time to get some rest (although my book launches this week!!!) I’ll come back the strongest version of the real me and I can’t wait to start racing again!"
