'There's obviously some good days and some and days and my joints can flare up some days but it is what it is'
Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas has told how he wants to 'inspire' others as he takes part in the show - after being diagnosed with a painful hidden condition. The actor has been competing in the BBC One dance contest alongside dance partner Luba Mushtuk, Manchester Evening News reports.
The dad-of-two spoke out and shared that he has been diagnosed with RA, an autoimmune and inflammatory disease which means that your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation in the affected parts of the body. "There's obviously some good days and some and days and my joints can flare up some days but it is what it is. We're dealing with it. There are some things we obviously can't do because of it. It's very difficult training in the morning because that's when it's at its most painful but we're getting through it."
