Tony Adams has apologised to his professional partner Katya Jones after he dropped her in training for his last Strictly Come Dancing routine, but fans are wondering who is Tony Adams' wife and does he have kids?
The English football manager and former professional player is currently at the bottom of the leaderboard following week 2 results - despite scoring 15 from week one and 22 from week two to make a total of 37 he has become the celebrity with the lowest score so far.
But while he remained in the contest, after Kaye Adams was voted out of Strictly, he will be wanting to make sure he earns higher scores this week to avoid a dance off, in the hope of making it to the final and onto the Strictly live tour 2023 as we look at all you need to know about the star and his family...
Who is Tony Adam's wife?
Tony Adams is married to Poppy Teacher - a whisky heiress as Poppy is the great-great-great granddaughter of whisky firm founder William Teacher. The couple married at a private ceremony in Kent back in 2004. At the time, Poppy's mother Petra said, "Poppy's very happy. We're delighted."
It is Tony's second marriage. He was previously married to Jane Shea, between 1992 and 1997 but it ended in divorce.
Tony previously opened up about the 'Strictly Curse' and said his wife wasn't worried about it, and joked, "she's trying to get rid of me, that's why she pushed me into doing it. I've had enough of you! It's been 20 years, please, please off you go!"
He added, "She's not the slightest bit worried. Luckily, when I met Poppy 20 years ago, we had a spiritual connection - we don't live in the physical world or we'd be struggling."
Wife Poppy has been supporting Tony from the side of the dance floor as she expressed her love for him ahead of his performance.
Speaking to Tess Daly, she said, "He was devastated, he had a complete mind blank but he kind of loved it at the same time."
Speaking on his Charleston routine, she gushed, “He’s going to nail it, I have total confidence, I’ve never been so proud or so in love with him.”
And Poppy added, "And I’m going to proper cry" after the audience went "awww".
That was a little bit better - but a lot more fun. Thanks to everyone who voted for me - am trying my hardest to get it right, but at times I revert to type: Scroll to see my Stevie Morrow moment in training - pic.twitter.com/1ZRTuHgjtfOctober 3, 2022
