Adam Peaty responds to mum’s ‘total fix’ claims after Strictly Come Dancing exit

Team GB’s Adam Peaty has commented on his mother’s reaction following his Strictly Come Dancing exit while appearing on BBC Breakfast, saying “I think she just wanted me to do a Paso”.

Peaty, 26, and professional partner Katya Jones were the sixth couple to leave Strictly after losing a dance-off to Tilly Ramsay and her partner Nikita Kuzmin.

Following his exit, Peaty’s mother Caroline wrote on Twitter that she was “proud” of her son but that the competition was a “total fix” and said: “I’m not buying the public vote”.
