ADAM Thomas’ performance on tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing ‘hangs in the balance’ after the star fell ill.
Panicked BBC bosses drew up a contingency plan after he was forced to pull out of a TV appearance just hours before the live show.

Concerns were first raised last night when his professional partner Luba Mushtuk was forced to appear alone on It Takes Two after Adam fell ill for the second time in two weeks.
“He is resting now,” said Ljuba. – He wasn’t feeling very well.
And while Luba insisted last night that “everything will be fine” for the live show, he still hasn’t confirmed his performance tonight.
A spokesperson told The Mirror: “We hope that Adam will be better and able to perform this weekend. There are contingencies if he can’t do it. The health and well-being of the Strictly cast and crew is the production’s absolute priority.”
The pair are set to perform the American Foxtrot in a live show this weekend.
Adam fell ill for the first time last week and was banned from training as bosses raced to prevent winter flu from spreading among their squad.
Celebrities and their professional partners have been warned to take all measures to stay in fighting shape – even if it means missing out on valuable rehearsal time.
Adam, 35, was forced to stop training with Luba after battling illness but was able to perform on the show last Saturday night.
It’s been a tough time for the former soap star, who revealed he misses his wife Caroline of six years while juggling Strictly with filming for Waterloo Road.
Speaking to The Sun, Adam said: “Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder because I keep ringing her saying ‘God I love you so much’.
“She just called me, crying, saying ‘You don’t know how much this means.’
