Adam announced his resignation on Monday’s It Takes Two. He was suffering from pain due to injuries.
He replied, “It’s possible to say it now. Normally, I would keep it secret, but my ankles were going and my calf was moving.
‘I was trying as many runs I could but the dance of the jive takes 150%.
“On Thursday, I felt like Katya that I couldn’t continue. “I am an Olympic-level athlete, and can do things most people cannot. But my Achilles is going down if I don’t stop.
Adam survived the pain, and danced against Tilly Ramsay (and Nikita Kuzmin) in his final show.
Pain: Adam shared that he had to leave because of the pain he was experiencing from his injuries.
It was the final dance of Adam and Katya’s Strictly journey. They were the sixth eliminated couple.
Rylan Clark Neal asked Adam about the scores of Judges for their Jive. Adam replied: “The Judges play a part and I believe they played that role very well. It’s nothing I can do against it, and you as a competitor have got to respect this. I respect that.
“But it’s what it’s supposed to be, it’s not it?” Katya gave me everything, but I did give everything to her. We shared some laughs, though.
Katya responded to a question regarding her partnership with Adam: “We feel so fortunate to have our Olympic hero back from the Olympics. He has thrown himself totally out of his comfort zone.

Caroline was contacted by a fan who said that “someone had” to leave and she did Adam a disservice by calling out at the show.
Their words were: “This isn’t an Olympics. People vote on the basis of what they want. One had to go.

Adam sent an earlier strong message to all those who speculated upon his “near kiss” with Katya last October.
The pair allegedly ‘nearly’ kissed at the end their raucous Argentine Tango, causing fans to go wild.
Tweeted: ‘To anyone who wishes to see what their want, your remarks have real life consequences. Your gossip will not make me feel weaker or less capable. Protect your energy.’
