Thomas Skinner, known for his appearance on The Apprentice in 2019, has confessed to cheating on his wife Sinead with a two-week fling. The revelation comes just a week before he is set to appear on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Skinner, 34, described the affair as the 'biggest mistake' of his life. He admitted to the fling with beauty clinic boss Amy-Lucy O'Rourke shortly after marrying Sinead in May 2022. He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I'm so lucky she forgave me. It was the worst thing I've ever had to do.'
The couple first met in a London bar in 2018 and got engaged in July 2020. They welcomed their first child, a son named Henry, later that year. The couple married in May 2022 at Hutton Hall in Brentwood, Essex, and later had twins, Roma and Darla, in June 2023.
A spokesperson for Amy-Lucy O'Rourke told the Mirror: 'This has been an incredibly stressful and painful chapter in Amy Lucy's life. She did not have a fling with Mr Skinner, she had a relationship with him and was deceived then treated appallingly.'
Skinner expressed gratitude for his wife's forgiveness, stating: 'My wife is my rock. She's the person I adore more than anything in the world. And I let her down, I'm ashamed.'
