The pair performed a divisive Salsa to Dizzee Rascal’s hit, Bonkers, but left viewers far from impressed and were sent packing on Sunday’s show.
Thomas and Amy gushed over each other in their Strictly exit interview, and this morning he wanted his fans to know he appreciated their support.
“Good Morning and happy Monday you lovely people!! Back in the van for me this morning, it’s another busy one,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m catching up on my messages & emails this morning so will be getting back to everyone who needs a new mattress.”
Thomas was referring to his day job of selling mattresses and was spotted back in his delivery van on Monday.
“Also want to say a massive thank you to all the lovely messages of support I’ve had. It means the world! I know I was rubbish at dancing, but it was so much fun,” he added on X.
“But back to reality. You are ten times stronger than you can ever imagine……so don’t give up!! Keep on moving forward! Let’s go smash it today.”
Thomas concluded: “New week, new day, new start. Don’t go home until you’re proud. Bosh.”
Thomas and Amy were awarded a very low score of just 13 for their energetic Salsa on Saturday, with Craig Revel Horwood telling him he looked like he was competing in a “weight lifting competition”.
He added that the performance “lacked any real hip rotation or fluidity”.

Motsi Mabuse simply labelled the performance as “interesting,” while Shirley Ballas added: “You gave it a good go.”
Thomas has been plagued with controversies ever since it was announced he was joining the iconic show.
Prior to the show starting, he snatched a reporter’s phone away from them during an interview and stormed out.
As well as this, he’s been making headlines for all the wrong reasons after admitting he cheated on wife Sinéad just weeks after their wedding in May 2022.
He admitted to a “two week fling” just weeks after marrying Sinéad and said it was a “moment of madness” that nearly “ruined his life.”
The woman he was involved with hit back, claiming the affair was far more serious than he let on.
Speaking to Daily Mail about how his wife reacted to the infidelity, he said: “It wasn’t difficult for me because I know the mistakes I’ve made in my life, but it was awful for my poor wife to read it all, and that’s why I feel bad.
“We had already moved on from this. I’m doing Strictly and I’m in the public eye now.
“My whole life has been dug up and regurgitated and my poor wife has to read something that she has moved on from.”
