Emmerdale star blindsided as bailiffs turn up to his home to tow his car

Former Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas was left blindsided when bailiffs turned up to his Cheshire mansion and attempted to tow his car. The Strictly Come Dancing star, 37, confessed that he had wracked up a huge hidden debt during a discussion with his brother Scott on their podcast At Home With the Thomas Bros.

Scott explained he had been holidaying in Ibiza when he was issued with a parking ticket - though his car was still at home in England. He immediately blamed Adam, who had borrowed the vehicle while he was away. He told listeners: "I got a parking fine, the date was the 16/08/2025, I'm in Ibiza, therefore I wasn't driving my car, someone else was."

But Emmerdale star Adam chimed in with a horror anecdote of his own, explaining: "Bailiffs turned up to our house not long ago and tried to tow my car away because I had 10 unpaid parking tickets.

"Luckily they couldn't get into my house because of the gates."

He told his brother: "So I don't think this is going to get paid to be honest with you, I can't even pay my own parking tickets."

Their other brother, Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, joked: "Imagine his car gets towed, it's all your fault."

It's not the only financial trouble Adam has found himself in recently. In 2023, his restaurant The Spine - which he owned with his pal Scott Graham - was plunged into administration with reports the business had £293,996 debts, including £71,423 owed to the taxman.

He told the MEN in 2022: "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 again 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."
