However, his routine fell foul of former professional Brendan Cole, who slammed his first dance as ‘dull, average and odd’.

The star took part in 15 series of Strictly Come Dancing where he was partnered with the likes of Lisa Snowdon, Kelly Brook, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Natasha Kaplinsky.

Speaking to Sky Bingo, he slammed the choreography of the actor’s debut routine on the popular show as he labelled it as ‘average’.

He explained: “I think [Adam Thomas’] partner needs to do better. I didn’t like the choreography choice. I didn’t like the set to start the show.

“I mean, that could be production intervening and going, ‘We want this’, but for me it lacked, it seemed like an average routine.

“It was opening the show so that was kind of odd. I was pleased to watch him because he’s really nice to watch, but at the end, it was kind of dull, but I don’t think it’s his fault.”

Adam was given the difficult job of starting the show, and he failed to impress the judges as he was given only 19 points from the judges.

Although he came third from bottom of the leaderboard, the personality was keen to emphasise that it wasn’t Adam’s fault.

Dancing On Ice runner-up Brendan, 47, explained how he could only work with the moves he was given by his partner Luba Mushtuk.

“She should be really good, but I just didn’t think that was a strong enough start for the show,” he remarked.

“So many things come into it – quite often you don’t get the music choice you want because production wants you to do a certain thing.
