He continued: 'I was trying to do as many runs as I can but the jive is one of those dances that requires 150%.
'On the Thursday I was like 'Katya, I can't do any more. I am an Olympic athlete and I can push through things that most people can't push through but my achilles is going to go if I keep going.'

When asked by host Rylan Clark-Neal on the Judges' scores for their Jive, Adam said: 'The Judges have a role and I think they did that very fairly. I've got nothing against that and as a competitor, you've got to respect that and I have respect for that.
