Strictly Come Dancing's Thomas Skinner admits cheating on wife just weeks after wedding - Manchester Evening News
Thomas Skinner attributed his two-week affair to grief after losing a close friend and called it the biggest mistake of his life, emphasizing his wife's forgiveness and their strengthened relationship.
- On Sunday, Thomas Skinner admitted a two-week fling with beauty clinic owner Amy‑Lucy O'Rourke shortly after his May 2022 wedding, calling it the biggest mistake of his life and saying guilt consumed him.
- Skinner said his actions followed grief over Big Mark's death, who was like a father to him, and personal struggles with homelessness and heavy drinking that affected his judgment.
- The former Apprentice contestant said he met Amy‑Lucy O'Rourke in a pub, received treatments there, and a spokeswoman called it a 'relationship', not a fling.
- After the revelation, he apologised and said Sinead, Skinner's wife, forgave him and they are 'stronger than ever'; earlier this month, he walked out of a press interview after seeing messages on a journalist's phone, prompting a BBC statement on standards.
- The entrepreneur, who is set to appear this coming Saturday, is among 15 celebrities on Strictly Come Dancing as the BBC series returns later this year with Dani Dyer-Bowen and Ellie Goldstein.
