Adam Thomas, who plays Dante Charles in Waterloo Road, has opened up about his ongoing battle with arthritis.
The actor was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2023. He’s since said that he has psoriatic arthritis. The NHS describes it as a “long-term condition that causes joint pain, swelling and stiffness”.
Last night, in a new Instagram Story, Adam told his fans he was really having a tough time, declaring: “Just take my pain away please!”

Writing online, Adam said: “This disease really does [bleep] with your head, especially when your trying to shift some weight and get into a routine of exercise! Constant battle, constant setbacks! Just take my pain away please!”
I’ve suffered enough now!
He then added, alongside a picture of himself underneath some kind of lamp: “I’ve suffered enough now! Am really trying to hold myself together but it’s not easy!”
Adam then added a note: “Just one of those days – keep fighting people on the days where we can’t train – we have to take care of ourselves, self care and recovery.”
