Adam Thomas opens up about taking part in Don't Rock The Boat
It wasn't all plain sailing
Last updated 6th Nov 2020
It's FriYAY and also the last day of ITV's Don't Rock the Boat, which features 12 celebrities including Hits Radio Breakfast's Fleur East, along with Victoria Pendleton, Shaun Wallace and Kimberly Wyatt, who we've caught up with this week.
Now, it was the turn of former Emmerdale actor and Fleur's teammate Adam Thomas to join us on Hits Radio. The TV series was originally filmed over three weeks back in the summer, and as Adam revealed, rewatching it months later was tough to do!
"We got through it," Adam said, "And you know what, I couldn't have done it without you Fleur, so thank you darling."
Adam went on to reveal, "It brings back some good memories, but also some really horrible memories as well, because that seasickness was real. You know, I think everyone went through it and it was really tough."
In yesterday's (5th November) episode, viewers got to see the blue team close the red team's massive lead with the help of double Olympic gold medalist, James Cracknell. After starting the day around three hours behind the red team, the blue managed to reduce their lead to just one hour and 22 minutes!
Pretty impressive!
So, after closing the gap, Matt and James were really keen to find out which team won overall. Despite trying to get out of Adam and Fleur who wins the series, both of them were keeping quiet, but all will be revealed in tonight's episode.
The last episode of Don't Rock The Boat airs tonight (6th November) on ITV at 9pm.
Catch Hits Radio Breakfast with Fleur East, James and Producer Matt on air every weekday from 6am - 10am.
