Thomas Skinner from Strictly Come Dancing opened up about the challenges he faced with his wife, Sinead, following his past affair with Amy-Lucy O’Rourke. The 34-year-old confessed to a brief fling with Amy-Lucy shortly after tying the knot with Sinead. However, Amy-Lucy countered his statement, claiming their involvement lasted for three months.
In light of Amy-Lucy’s disclosures, Thomas shared the distress his wife experienced while revisiting the scandal. Thomas and Sinead got married in May 2022 after the birth of their son in October 2020, followed by twin daughters in June 2023. Despite the affair occurring three years ago, it resurfaced recently before Thomas’ debut on Strictly Come Dancing.
Thomas expressed remorse over the pain his wife endured and the process of her forgiveness, stating, “It was tough for my wife to read about it, even though I had moved on from my mistakes.” He also mentioned that the scrutiny surrounding his life due to his participation in Strictly has been hard on his wife.
The reality TV star disclosed that his wife would be present in the audience for his first live performance on the show. Despite facing criticism from some Strictly fans due to his political views and connections, Thomas remained optimistic about his journey on the show.
Ahead of their first performance, Thomas’ dance partner, Amy Dowden, shared her excitement on Instagram, praising Thomas for his dedication and progress in learning to dance. She expressed her joy in working with him and getting to know his fun and family-oriented side, encouraging him to savor the experience.
