Emmerdale star gutted as ITV show cancelled: ‘I don't know what I did wrong'
Emmerdale and Waterloo Road star Adam Thomas has revealed his disappointment after discovering his most recent TV show won't be recommissioned. The star played Adam Barton in Emmerdale between 2009 and 2018, leaving the village after confessing to the murder of Emma Barton (Gillian Kearney) in order to save his mum, Moira (Natalie J. Robb), from going to prison for the killing. More recently, soap fans have seen Adam back in the rebooted Waterloo Road as he reprised his role of Donte Charles. He first appeared as Donte when the character was a pupil at the school in the original series in 2006. Fans were delighted when the series was rebooted in 2023 after an eight year gap, and Adam was announced as one of the stars who would be returning from the original series. Now a parent, his daughter was a pupil at the school, and Donte soon started working there, initially as a caretaker. Adam competed in I'm a Celebrity… in 2016, coming third, and he's also competed in Strictly Come Dancing. He was partnered by Luba Mushtuk and lasted six weeks in the show. But it's another show that viewers have seen Adam in most recently. 99 To Beat saw him presenting alongside his brother Ryan, and Adam previously told Metro the show was a 'dream come true' for him. 'I'm very excited to film that very soon,' he said. 'It's called 99 to Beat for ITV. I'm so excited and it's been a long time coming.' The first series aired earlier this year on Saturday evenings and saw 100 contestants competing for the prize. The Thomas brothers were thrilled to be presenting the show together, though the series – compared by some to Squid Game – wasn't without its difficulties after some contestants needed medical attention after a challenge that involved jumping into a haystack and some people suffered an allergic reaction. Despite this the show was generally well received and the Thomas brothers really enjoyed making it, so Adam was sad to reveal the show won't be recommissioned. On an episode of At Home With The Thomas Bros, the podcast Adam makes with brothers Ryan and Scott, Adam said: 'When I am positive about something, it gets cancelled. Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. More Trending 'I did (I'm a Celebrity) Extra Camp presenting. I did one series of that, and it got cancelled. The next presenting job I did was with Ryan, 99 To Beat, and that's got cancelled.' Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Adam Thomas suffers double blow as ITV's 99 to Beat axed after just one series
Soap brothers Adam and Ryan Thomas fronted a brand new gameshow, 99 To Beat, but the Squid Game-like programme is being axed after airing just one series on ITV Ryan and Adam Thomas ' gameshow 99 to Beat has been axed by ITV after just one series. The Squid Game like TV challenge debuted this March, airing just before Britain's Got Talent during Saturday primetime. The hosts and show received mixed responses, with some even calling the brothers the "next Ant and Dec". However, the show may have not impressed enough as former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas announced that the show had been axed by the broadcaster. It was the first time the duo had presented a TV show together, and even featured an appearance from their brother, Love Island star Scott Thomas. It's a double blow for Adam, who experienced another ITV show axe back in 2020, when I'm A Celebrity Extra Camp was taken off air. On the latest episode of their podcast, At Home With The Thomas Bro's, Adam explained: "When I am positive about something, it gets cancelled. "Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Like I did [ I'm a Celebrity spin off] Extra Camp presenting, did one series of that, got cancelled. The next presenting job I did was with Ryan, 99 to Beat, and that's got cancelled." The axed show saw 100 people being pitted against each other in a variety of challenges in order to win a huge cash prize of £25,000. After each game, those who lost were made to leave the competition for good until there was only one player left, having defeated the other 99. Caitlin Lawlor won the huge cash prize at the end of the series, with the financial crime associate telling Lorraine after her win: "I loved it, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so, so glad I took it." Adam's sad news comes weeks after he sent Emmerdale fans into a frenzy after teasing a return for his character. However, fans hoping to see a return for Adam Barton may have to wait a little longer. Last month, the star took to his Instagram to share a photo of himself with the iconic sign, as he penned: "I'm BACK!!!!" Adam's post sent fans wild, with one writing: "Is this true? Please be true!!!" as a second fan penned: "I really hope this is true as you were my favourite Barton ever!!!!!!!" However, the Mirror understands there's currently no return planned for Adam, and he was on set for another reason. Many fans weren't falling for the prankster's post - as they predict he's there for another show.

Emmerdale's Adam Thomas in 'advanced talks' for I'm A Celebrity All Stars return
I'm A Celebrity spin-off All Stars is rumoured to be coming back and the latest speculation is that Emmerdale's Adam Thomas is in 'advanced talks' to appear on the ITV show A former soap star is reportedly in discussions to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity spin-off All Stars. Adam Thomas is said to be in "advanced talks" with ITV about signing up for it after reaching the final of the main series. Adam, 36, known for his roles on shows like Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, was a campmate in the jungle in Australia in 2016. He placed third in the final, behind runner-up Joel Dommett and winner Scarlett Moffatt, that year. Three years later, Adam co-hosted I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp. He fronted the companion show with Emily Atack for one series in 2019 and his former campmate Joel also featured. It's now rumoured that Adam could take part in spin-off All Stars, which was filmed in South Africa for its debut series in 2022. A second series is reportedly due to be filmed in the country this autumn ahead of airing next year. A source told the Sun: "This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp and then on the spin-off show." They added that he's remained on TV since then though. They said: "He's stayed in the limelight, too, with Waterloo Road and then on ITV alongside brother Ryan with challenge show 99 To Beat. It's the perfect time for him to head back into the jungle and affirm his position as Mr Bushtucker Trial." Alongside his career on TV, Adam has also made headlines in recent years after being diagnosed with arthritis. The actor has raised awareness of the condition, having spoken about his experience, including in posts on social media. Former Strictly Come Dancing star Adam initially shared that he had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. He's since said that he has psoriatic arthritis - described by the NHS as a long-term condition that causes joint pain, swelling and stiffness. The NHS states that there's currently no cure for arthritis, but that treatments that can help slow it down. In an update posted on Instagram just last week, Adam spoke about taking medication but expressed hope that "this disease can be cured naturally". He told his followers that he would like to not have to take medication one day. Alongside a photo of himself injecting his thigh with medication, he wrote: "I lost hope ... I never thought I'd get my old life back ... I was wrong. To anyone struggling with arthritis and is lost and can't seem to find hope ... stay strong! It's a long and painful road but I promise you ... you will!" He went on to say that his medication has "changed" his life and promoted biologic injections, which he's said to take once every two weeks. Adam said: "No side effects no brain fog no throwing up, nothing! Nothing but pain free!" Adam continued: "I know this isn't going to heal the disease but it's given me a life I never thought I'd have again! Still putting in the work and focusing on diet and recovery as I'd like to think this disease can be cured naturally and one day I'd like to not have to take any meds but until then …" He concluded by telling fans that he wanted to "bring hope" to others with arthritis and to raise awareness. He said: "I feel like it's not talked about enough." He urged in his post: "Don't lose hope don't lose yourself to this disease." I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, often referred to as All Stars, featured a host of former campmates when it launched in 2022. Myleene Klass won the debut series of the spin-off after having been runner-up on I'm A Celebrity back in 2006. Adam is the latest former campmate rumoured for a potential return. Earlier this week, it was reported that comedian Seann Walsh, 39, has been in talks to appear on the spin-off after placing fifth on I'm A Celebrity in 2022. Harry Redkna pp and Gemma Collins had already been named as potential campmates. Former football manager Harry won I'm A Celebrity in 2018, whilst reality TV star Gemma quit after a few days when she did the show in 2014.
