Thomas Skinner, the former Apprentice star and recent Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has shared a distressing update about his two-year-old twin daughters, Roma and Darla, who were rushed to hospital after suffering two fits each. The 34-year-old described the ordeal as 'scary' and revealed that the family is going through a 'proper s*** time'.
In a post on Instagram on Thursday, Skinner thanked the NHS for their care, stating that his daughters spent the night in hospital but are now back home. He wrote: 'We are having a proper s*** time recently. My twins have spent all night in the hospital. They’ve both now had 2 fits each and it is so so scary.'
The health scare comes shortly after Skinner became the first contestant to be eliminated from this year's Strictly Come Dancing series last weekend. He and professional partner Amy Dowden were sent home after a dance-off against former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova.
Reflecting on his Strictly experience, Skinner said: 'I've loved it. I've never danced before and my stay was short, but Amy's amazing. It's been great fun.' He also revealed that he and Dowden have promised to continue dancing together, with Skinner planning to take more lessons.
