Meanwhile Adam’s girlfriend has emotionally revealed how she was forced to quit social media after his near-kiss with dance partner Katya.
Eiri Munro, 23, said she’s feeling “tired” after being bombarded with abuse online.
It comes after Adam appeared to move in for a kiss with the professional dancer – who had a fling with her 2018 partner Seann Walsh.
The Mirror reports Eiri said: “I have been receiving a lot of hate on the internet – people saying really horrible stuff.
“I am trying to lay it to rest now as I am tired.”
She added: “I want to say thank you to everyone. It makes me a bit emotional. To everyone that has been really nice to me. Because last week was a lot.
“Even when it’s a thousand nice comments and one mean one, it’s so easy to feel like the world is against you and it did feel like that for a while.”
