Strictly and Waterloo Road star Adam Thomas loses THOUSANDS after restaurant goes bust
WATERLOO Road star Adam Thomas has lost thousands after the collapse of his restaurant business.
Back in July 2023 it was revealed that Adam’s eatery had gone bust.
Now it has been revealed that the former Strictly star, 33, been told that he won’t get a penny of the cash back.
Adam and pal Scott Graham invested the money to set up Manchester-based restaurant The Spinn in 2019.
But in the first three years the eatery ran up debts totalling up to £300,000.
As well as Adam’s cash, the business also owed £100,000 to HMRC and a further £50,000 to a bank and utility companies.
Liquidators confirmed: “We do not anticipate paying a dividend to any creditors.”
The Spinn was boarded up in 2022 – which left many wondering if it had closed for refurbishment or gone out of business.
Adam quit as director of the business in April of that year.
The eatery was closed a few months later.
Adam confirmed: “Unfortunately we have decided to close The Spinn.
“We did what we had to do with The Spinn and we learnt so much building our first venture and more importantly we had an absolute blast.
“Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way and continues to support us and to all our staff who we will continue to take on this journey with us.”
Just days after it was revealed The Spinn was closed down, TWO more restaurant businesses were shut down.
He pulled the plug on Plant Pizzas Ltd and a mobile catering venture linked to his The Spinn restaurant called Gatley Road Ltd.
Adam shot to fame in 2006 when he took on the role of Donte Charles in BBC drama Waterloo Road.
He reprised his iconic role last year on the show.
He’s also best known for playing Adam Barton in Emmerdale.
The star has two famous brothers.
His older sibling is former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, known for playing Jason Grimshaw in the ITV soap.
Meanwhile, his twin brother Scott Thomas starred in Love Island back in 2016.
