BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden Horrified by Thomas Skinner on Air Comment - Liverpool Echo

Thomas Skinner faces public backlash for past infidelity and political associations while partnering with Amy Dowden, recently recovered from cancer, on Strictly Come Dancing's 2025 season.

  • BBC's Strictly Come Dancing launched its 23rd season on September 20, 2025, pairing professional dancer Amy Dowden with former Apprentice star Thomas Skinner.
  • Amy returned to the show after overcoming breast cancer, which she publicly disclosed in May 2023 and confirmed no evidence of disease by February 2024.
  • During the launch, Thomas described himself as an underdog with only wedding dance experience and admitted he has two left feet but will give it his all.
  • Thomas's comment about loving a breakfast of spicy Korean noodles with chicken and poached eggs visibly horrified Amy, prompting host Claudia Winkleman to intervene.
  • The 15 celebrity-pro pairs, including Dowden and Skinner, will begin competing in dances following the launch show, marking an eagerly anticipated season.
