Thomas Skinner, known for his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, is opening up about some serious blunders—and he’s not holding back! The TV personality has admitted to making some major mistakes, including cheating on his wife Sinead shortly after their wedding. But in a candid post, Thomas revealed Sinead chose to forgive him, and now the couple and their three children are stronger than ever.
Thomas said, “I’ve made big mistakes, including one I deeply regret with my wife three and a half years ago. She forgave me, and that forgiveness completely changed my life. We’ve built a home, welcomed two more beautiful children, and moved forward together—all stronger than before.”
But life in the spotlight hasn’t been easy for Thomas. He feels like a “public enemy number one” as his past is constantly under scrutiny. He says he’s faced death threats and has gotten backlash for some of his posts on social media. Despite it all, Thomas remains unfazed, maybe even a bit amused by the lies, saying, “The abuse and death threats don’t bother me. I’ve got an extremely chequered past and I’ve never shied away from that. But most people have made mistakes—it’s okay to own up to them, and people do deserve second chances.”
Not long ago, he abruptly left a Strictly press event and shared that he’s become a target, with people surrounding him being offered money to spill dirt. Still, he insists that family is what matters most to him, and they’re his reason for everything.
Thomas also has made headlines for his friendship with US Vice President JD Vance and an encounter that saw him at a barbecue with the US President’s deputy. Despite facing public criticism, he maintains the importance of second chances and owning up to mistakes. What are your thoughts? Do people deserve a fresh start after acknowledging their past?
