Strictly’s Tony Adams had frosty farewell with Katya Jones after quitting the show says body language expert
STRICTLY Come Dancing stars Tony Adams and Katya Jones shared a frosty farewell as their time on the show came to an end, a body language expert has claimed.
Former England footballer Tony, 56, sensationally quit the hit BBC show last week after sustaining an injury, ahead of the dance-off on Sunday night’s show.
Tony, along with his professional dance partner Katya Jones, 33, were set to compete against Tyler West and Dianne Buswell.
And while they spoke highly of one another at the end of their routine, according to body language expert Judi James, there were signs of a frosty farewell as they recalled their time on Strictly Come Dancing.
Judi revealed: “Everyone knew that Tony wouldn’t survive a dance-off so it was a foregone conclusion that he’d be going home tonight before he dramatically pulled out with an injury.
What was even more dramatic were the non-verbal and verbal signals of his sign-off, which was a frosty farewell to his partner Katya.”

Judi went on to claim: “As Tony stood to talk to Tess though he appeared to lean away from Katya, whose rictus smile stayed frozen on her face while he said it had been ‘tough’ and that he ‘cried for the first month’ “.
She added: “Tony made signals of distress at the memory as he puffed and rubbed at his eyebrows as he uncoupled from Katya altogether, dropping his arm from her shoulders.”
Tony, who has been the subject of ridicule over recent weeks due to his lack of skill on the dancefloor, suffered a pulled hamstring during Saturday night’s show, forcing him to quit the competition.
But prior to his injury, Tony ended up in the dance off after failing to impress the judges as his attempt at the jive scored him a meagre 24 points, leaving him bottom of the scoreboard.
Taking to social media Tony explained to his fans: “There comes a point when you can no longer ignore medical advice, and very sadly my point came tonight.
“Sorry I couldn’t dance off against my friend @TylerWestt, but thank you thank you to ALL @bbcstrictly who made this into an unbelievable joyful, tough and exhilarating 8 weeks.”
His gushing message included how much he will miss everybody on the show as well as his dance partner Katya.
But Strictly fans are keen for his return along with fellow Strictly performer and Paralympian Ellie Simmonds.
