Adam Thomas has shared his 'wish' during a sweet reunion with his Strictly Come Dancing partner Luba Mushtuk. The Waterloo Road star has opened up after spending Luba's 34th birthday with her as she celebrated the special day with him and his family.
On Tuesday, Adam revealed Luba had headed back to Manchester to spend the occasion with him, his wife Caroline and their two children, Teddy and Elsie - and the results were adorable.
Russian dancer Luba was left in tears earlier this month when she and Manchester actor Adam, 35, became the sixth couple to exit this year's edition of the BBC One dance contest after finding themselves in the dreaded dance-off for a second week in a row.

And while their dancing may have ended, their friendship hasn't. Taking to Instagram on her birthday, Luba shared a video of Adam serenading Luba with a guitar as she sat inside his Greater Manchester home. She was then, in a video Adam shared to his own Instagram Story, surprised with balloons and a delicious-looking birthday cake by Caroline and the kids.
As they sang 'Happy Birthday', Luba blew out the candles before little Elsie jumped onto her back. The birthday girl was then able to open her gift with the help of an intrigued Elsie. Alongside the clip, Adam, 35, typed: "Love this girl @lubamushtuk. Happy bday xxxx."
She then opened up the various layers of wrapping to find a gorgeous YSL purse which Luba appeared over the moon with. "I love it," she cheered before embracing Teddy and Elsie, thanking them for her gift, before embracing Caroline.
