Tony added: ‘She’s not the slightest bit worried. Sharing that his wife wasn’t worried about the ‘curse’ he joked that she is ‘trying to get rid’ of him and that’s why she ‘pushed’ him into taking part in the show. Tony is married to Poppy Teacher, who is a whisky heiress and the great-great-great granddaughter of whisky firm founder, William Teacher. While he’s openly admitted to not being the best dancer in terms of technicality, and scoring pretty low each week so far, Tony is yet to be in a dance off, and he’s certainly brought the entertainment factor to the BBC show.

In her exclusive weekly diary, the presenter talks about Richie Anderson's shock exit and Tony Adams's even more shocking shorts.

The harder he says something is, the more I want to do it. We could tell Richie was disappointed, but he hasn’t once complained and I think we’ll all feel the loss of his presence on the show. We can all feel the sense of jeopardy a bit more now. I was always dubious that everyone on the show would get on so well and that dancing can make you feel so great, but they do and it does. You can always have a routine that’s technically great, but if good old Bob in Oldham doesn’t love it then it could be your time to go home.
