Adam Thomas, 35, gives health update on his arthritis journey after suffering with the condition for a YEAR: 'It's been a long and hard battle'

Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas has shared an update on his rheumatoid arthritis journey after just over a year suffering with the incurable disease.

And the latest update does not make pleasant reading as the star revealed on Monday that the last year or so has been 'the toughest period of my life to date'. The pictures included a sweet selfie of him and Caroline sat in a hospital waiting room, alongside snaps of the star getting his blood tested. He described that he had been given a fresh round of previously-successful steroid injections to ease pain and inflammation as he waited for his new prescription of methotrexate - an immunosuppressant which reduces swelling by slowing down your body's immune system - and sulfasalazine.
