Nine months after leaving Emmerdale, Adam Thomas now has a pretty ordinary day job

“That’s just the nature of the business.”

Adam Thomas won our hearts playing Adam Barton on Emmerdale and again as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here in 2016 – but he’s now gone down a completely different career path.

It’s been reported that the actor, who left the soap in January, is now working as an estate agent for his friend Adam Kamani.

The businessman owns brands PrettyLittleThing and Boohoo.com and also has a portfolio of commercial and residential properties in Manchester, according to The Mirror.

Adam today confirmed the news in a post to Instagram today.

He said that he hasn’t quit acting for good but that he has to support his family between jobs as an actor.

“Just to clarify my job title is property exec it sounds better … and yes I am working in the property industry in between jobs because as a job in actor you can be out of work…

“That’s just the nature of the business…I haven’t nor will I ever turn my back on acting …but I have a family to support and will carry on doing so…whether it be acting or otherwise.”

Fair play to him.

Adam and his wife Caroline are parents to three-year-old son Teddy and three-month-old daughter Elsie Rose.

The news comes after Adam’s brother Ryan, also an actor, was forced to deny accusations of physical abuse by actress Roxanne Pallet in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Roxanne later took back the claims and apologised to Ryan.
