Tom Skinner’s wife Sinead revealed she kicked him out after he came clean about his affair

Thomas Skinner’s wife has revealed that after his affair, she kicked him out of their family home. He made headlines for all of the wrong reasons prior to his short stint on Strictly Come Dancing after admitting to having a “fling” behind his wife Sinead’s back, and now Tom’s other half has revealed exactly what happened when he came clean about the affair to her.

One week before his first appearance on the BBC One show, The Apprentice star, 34, confessed to a “two-week fling” with a beauty clinic boss and said, “it was the biggest mistake of my life.”

Speaking about her husband’s infidelity for the first time, Sinead admitted she kicked him out of the family home after being left devastated by the news. She explained: “When he first told me what had happened, I made him leave. I was devastated.

“I will never forget Thomas telling me. I remember thinking, ‘I never thought this would happen to me’. It was one of the worst days of my life. I only told one friend, nobody else.”

Thomas and Sinead have put his past behind them

Sinead added to The Sun: “But we eventually worked it out. I just knew how much I love him and I wanted to work it out. He made a mistake. It was a tough time. One of his friends had just died.”

She explained that the cheating was in the past for them and they are now “stronger than ever”. Despite his scandal, Sinead admits that the couple are stronger than ever and have gone on to welcome their twin daughters together. But it was his stint on Strictly which brought the cheating to light. “It has been hell,” she revealed.

The mum-of-three went on to explain that it’s been “horrendous” having to re-live that chapter all over again, especially since the pair had put it behind them in an effort to start again.

Back in September, the BBC star said that he had a two-week fling with Amy-Lucy Rourke, 35, and “it is the biggest mistake of my life.” He continued: “I met her in a pub. She was a single mum. We chatted on the phone, and she offered me some kind of cosmetic slimming treatments.”

He told The Sun: “It was nothing more than that. It was the one time; it was a mistake. I woke up feeling absolutely terrible about it. I felt so guilty. I told my wife. I let her down in that brief moment of madness where I wasn’t thinking, where I didn’t appreciate what I had. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”

However, just days after he went public with the affair, Amy came forward and claimed he had told her she was the “love of his life” and the fling had actually been three months long.

She claimed to the Daily Mail: “We were originally friends, but with his sweet-talking and his lies, he made me believe we were in love. He would stand in the mirror with me and say, ‘Look, we’ll be Mr and Mrs Skinner’. That is actually traumatising to me.

“You don’t say that to someone when you’re already happily married. I fell in love with him, but Thomas is nothing but a liar and a cheat.” Thomas and Sinead first met at a bar in London in 2018 and got engaged two years later. The fling occurred shortly after their wedding in May 2022, when they were already parents to their son, now four years old.

The pair also now have identical twin daughters who are two years old. Tom and his Strictly partner Amy Dowden were the first to be eliminated from this year’s show after landing in the bottom two with Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova. All four judges unanimously decided to save Chris over Tom.

During his exit interview with Tess Daly, he gushed: “Thank you, Amy – sorry that we haven’t done too good, ’cause you’re a different class.

“I’ve never danced before and my stay was short, but Amy’s amazing. It’s been great fun and I’ve enjoyed it. I can’t really dance that well but I’ve had fun!”

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan has revealed that her ex-husband Ray Fensome has joined the ITV show in a new role as the show airs its pre-recorded musical special.

Today’s special episode saw Coleen joined by Brenda Edwards, Myleene Klass, Oti Mabuse and Kéllé Bryan as they sang the songs that helped them through tough times. However, at the start of the show, Coleen announced that her ex-husband Ray had joined the show as part of the house band for the episode, teasing him about their “awful marriage”.

The panel opened up the show with a powerful rendition of Tina Turner’s Simply the Best, with Coleen, Brenda and Kéllé singing while Myleene played piano and Oti danced along. During a break in the song, Coleen said: “Welcome to a very special Loose Women with Simply the Best panel.

“With World Mental Health Day tomorrow, we reveal how music changed our lives and helped us through our toughest times and we tell our music stories.”

After the song, Coleen introduced the show’s new house band – including her ex-husband Ray Fensome. “A big welcome to our house band which is headed up by someone I know particularly well. My ex-husband Ray Fensome,” she said.

As the camera panned to Ray, Coleen added: “That’s the look he always gave me when I was talking.” She went on to reveal that the panel would not only be speaking from the heart, “but singing from the heart as well”.

Talking about the music that got them through tough times, Coleen said: “I would like to give a big shout-out to Adele, who helped me get over my really awful split from Ray.” The audience burst out into laughter as Ray awkwardly laughed along, with Coleen added: “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life.”

Coleen married guitarist Ray Fensome in 2007 after meeting in 2000. They welcomed their daughter Ciara in June 2001, with Ray proposing to Coleen on her 40th birthday four years later.

The Loose Women star had opened up about their marital problems while on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, revealing that she wanted to see if they could salvage their relationship. However, in February 2018, she announced that their marriage was officially over.

Despite the split, the ex-couple have remained friends. Coleen also has sons Jake and Shane Jr from her marriage to EastEnders’ Shane Richie, which lasted from 1990 until 1999.

Shirley Ballas has issued a statement after the d3ath of her “d3ar friend” Michael Wentink. The former Strictly Come Dancing South Africa judge has di3d aged 46 as tributes have poured in for the “true industry legend”. Shirley posted a series of photos and videos onto Instagram and said she was feeling “very sad this morning”.

The head judge paid tribute to her friend and fellow dancer as she wrote: “Michael wasn’t just part of my life, he was like family. He wasn’t just an incredible dancer, he was a kind, caring soul who brought so much joy, warmth, and laughter into our lives.

“His loyalty and love were unmatched, and his smile was irreplaceable. He spent many days at my house, he loved the children and would forever be checking in. One of the kindest souls I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with.”

The dancer shared a series of snaps of the pair to her feed including videos of them performing together, alongside a photo of Michael by himself at the end.

Referencing a photo she shared to her Instagram of the pair in a bright blue combo, she said: “I’ll never forget suggesting this aqua suit to Michael, and he just laughed saying, “Let’s give it a go, Shirls.” @alanate11 did hair and as a team we all pulled it together so very beautifully. They danced magnificently and won.

“That’s a day I’ll carry with me forever. You touched so many lives, Michael, and I’m blessed to have been one of them.

“With a heavy heart, I’ll miss you deeply. Rest in peace, my friend, alongside your beautiful Beata. Forever in our hearts. X”

The news of his d3ath was confirmed by his dance partner and close friend, Ralf Lepehne, who shared a tribute to him on his socials.

Ralf said Michael had “left us far too soon and the loss is immeasurable”, and added that Michael had been battling “the relentless weight of depression with quiet courage”.

He wrote: “His passing is a painful reminder that the brightest lights often cast the deepest shadows”. Continuing: “While our world is dimmer without him, Michael’s spirit, laughter and his profound passion for dance will live on in our hearts forever. May you finally find the peace you so deserved, Michael.”

The Princess of Wales meets youngsters at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire(Image: James Glossop/The Times/PA Wire)

Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, are widely praised for their down-to-earth approach to royal engagements, but insiders say that Catherine has a particularly striking way of connecting with people—one that often leaves her security team struggling to keep up.

Chief Scout Dwayne Fields, who has met the Princess of Wales multiple times in her role as joint-President of the Scout Association, shared an insight into Catherine’s unique approach to royal visits.

Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden at the Employee Network Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane, Fields recounted how Catherine immediately puts people at ease.

“I wonder if her security have an easy job trying to mind her,” Fields said. “As soon as she arrives, she makes everyone feel comfortable. She’ll get down on the ground… to their level… physically their level.”

He continued: “If they’re sat down on the floor, reading maps or drawing or doing art or being creative, she’s gonna sit on the floor as well.” Fields added that this small but thoughtful gesture helps those around her feel instantly at ease and highlights Catherine’s natural warmth and empathy.

This approach isn’t just theoretical. The Princess of Wales and her husband, Prince William, demonstrated it firsthand during a visit to a children’s shelter in the Indian capital, Delhi, in 2016.

Despite concerns from their security detail that the outing could become chaotic, the couple insisted on leaving some of their protection officers behind to interact more freely with the children.

Sanjoy Roy, co-founder of the Salaam Baalak Trust, said: “”When William and Catherine came to see this project, [representatives] called saying, ‘They’re happy to come without security.’

“I tried to dissuade them, saying, ‘No can do – it’s too dangerous. Just don’t come.’ But Will and Kate said, ‘No, we really want to.’ They were so wonderfully respectful,” Roy said. “It was quiet, calm, and meaningful. No drama – just genuine care.”

The couple met children at the railway station shelter, many of whom had survived trafficking, violence, and gang exploitation.

In May, the Duke of Sussex lost his appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.

The challenge came after Harry and Meghan left the UK and first moved to Canada, and then California, after announcing they wanted to step back as senior royals.

As a result of the ruling, Prince Harry, 40, said he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK”.

BIG Brother star Elsa Rae stormed off upset as nominations were revealed.

The 21-year-old content creator from Essex has already been at the centre of drama.

Fellow housemate Richard possessed the “Cursed Eye”, meaning he had to nominate in front of all the housemates.

It saw the 60-year-old ultimately select Cameron B and Elsa as his two choices.

Explaining his choice behind Elsa to the group, Richard said: “You are a beautiful girl inside and out.

“However, I’ve just had a prevailing perception that for whatever reason you don’t seem entirely comfortable.

“If that were true, I might actually being doing you a favour.”

Elsa was left unimpressed with his reasoning and stormed off after Richard was done.

One viewer wrote: “Richard is 100% right, Elsa doesn’t not seem right in there at all.”

Another said: “Richard wasn’t wrong about Elsa she’s been miserable since day one.”

A third penned: “Elsa is fuming at being one of Richard’s Cursed Eye nominations.”

It comes as viewers accused Elsa of “gaslighting” co-star Marcus amid “fake showmance” rumours around their relationship.

Big Brother fans accuse Elsa of ‘gaslighting’ Marcus amid ‘fake showmance’ rumours
Fans have been watching their relationship play out and have even slammed it as a “showmance”.

Things came to a head when she questioned him about his time in Ibiza, and how many women he had slept with.

Elsa then continued to ask him if he had been “tested” (for sexually transmitted diseases) recently.

As they began to argue, Marcus said bluntly: “This is just not healthy.

“It’s getting really toxic at this point.”

He then announced he was going to switch beds from the one he shares with Elsa.

Fans who watched the aftermath of this fall out accused Elsa of “gaslighting”, after she said she didn’t “remember” anything about their conversation.

Marcus said: “It’s just hard for me to sort of look past some of the things you were saying last night. Do you know what I mean?”

To which Elsa bluntly replied: “But I can’t remember what I said.”

Marcus then said: “Well I know, but you still said it.”

“Why is Elsa pretending she can’t remember!? THE GASLIGHTING,” one said.

Another person fumed: “Fair play to Marcus. Elsa is gonna ruin his BB experience at this rate.

“As a girl, I’m team Marcus on this one, she’s just too much.

A third chimed in: “Sorry but there’s no way Elsa “forgot” what she said to Marcus.

“She gives stroppy-child energy — even her voice sounds babyish, I don’t buy that it’s genuine.”

Ozzy Osbourne opened up about a “life or d3ath” ord3al before the rocker’s d3ath

Ozzy Osbourne opened up about his serious heart problems shortly before he died of a heart at.tack. The Black Sabbath legend died aged 76 on July 22 with his cause of d3ath announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. New reports have since revealed the heavy metal icon had opened up about his “dodgy heart valve” in the last chapter of his upcoming memoir Last Rites. It was reportedly written after Osbourne’s retirement show Back To The Beginning, which took place on July 5 this year.

“It’s never silly little things,” Osbourne writes of the health problems he was suffering at the time. “It’s always life-or-d3ath,” reports LouderSound.com. He addressed his heart issues and that they were caused by a recent sepsis infection. He contracted the infection in 2023, after he underwent his last procedure in a years-long series of spinal surgeries.

“The valve is 80 percent blocked, apparently,” Osbourne continues. “The sepsis also gave me something called arrhythmia – when your heart can’t keep time, like a drummer in a bad pub band – so cheers for that.”

The publication reports that doctors refused to operate on his valve and advised if he was to undergo the procedure he would have to come off the blood thinners he was taking to manage his Parkinson’s disease, which “would be too dangerous”.

“Meanwhile, the thinners mean if I ever fall over, I’d bleed out in about five seconds,” Osbourne concluded. “I’ve honestly lost count of the ways in which getting old sucks.”

The Black Sabbath legend died in July aged 76, just days after gracing the stage for one last performance – in a gig orchestrated by wife Sharon.

Ozzy and Sharon had relocated to Buckinghamshire to savour his retirement years in the tranquillity of their rural estate – but the rock icon’s condition deteriorated rapidly after the show and he died at their residence weeks later.

Sharon has subsequently withdrawn from public appearances to mourn in private but her son Jack appeared on Good Morning America and shared a candid update.

“You know, when people have been asking me that question, I say, ‘She’s OK, but she’s not OK’,” Jack confessed.

When asked if she can “feel the affection and appreciation,” from supporters, Jack responded: “Oh my god, yeah. I know she feels the love.”

A beloved singer has di3d after being put on a ventilator for 11 days following a horror acc1dent.

Important note: Details surrounding this incident are still developing. Some reports may be preliminary. We will avoid speculation and update as verified information emerges.

The music world is in mourning after singer-actor Rajvir Jawanda di3d at 35, 11 days after a devastating bike acc1dent on September 27. According to reports, the beloved performer was placed on a ventilator and remained on life support for nearly two weeks before doctors confirmed his d3ath. Tributes began pouring in within minutes of the news breaking, with fans, fellow artists, and industry figures sharing memories of a voice that filled festival stages and a presence that lit up screens. Colleagues remembered him as a relentless worker with a warm laugh—the first to arrive at rehearsals, the last to leave a set. For many, Jawanda wasn’t just a star—he was the soundtrack to weddings, road trips, and long nights that needed a lift.

The suddenness is what stings most. One moment, a rider on a late-September day; the next, a family keeping vigil by hospital machines, clinging to hope as the hours became days. Doctors fought, fans prayed, and an entire community refreshed timelines in the quiet dread of an update no one wanted. It came today.

Grief has its own geography. Outside studios where he last recorded, bouquets gather. On social feeds, his hit hooks loop endlessly, comments stacking into digital memorials. “He gave us anthems,” one producer wrote. “On stage he was larger than life, off stage he was gentle—always asking if you’d eaten.” A concert promoter added, “He could turn a crowd of thousands into a single heartbeat.” A music historian noted that Jawanda bridged eras: “He honored tradition without being trapped by it, bringing folk textures into modern production in a way that felt effortless.”

Authorities have not released a full account of the crash, and family representatives are asking for privacy as they plan last rites and memorials. In the coming days, questions will linger—about road safety, about the fragility of life in an industry that never slows down. But tonight, the answers don’t matter as much as the echoes he leaves behind. The songs remain. The videos remain. The feeling remains—that moment when the chorus hits and the crowd becomes a choir.

For fans seeking official updates, follow statements from family, management, and verified outlets. For everyone else, there’s a simpler ritual: press play, turn it up, and let his voice do what it always did—carry you.

 

A GB News guest has shared her thoughts on Meghan Markle following her appearance during Paris Fashion Week. The Duchess of Suss3x made her first visit to Europe in over two years to support a friend in the fashion industry. During her trip, she attended the Balenciaga show and was pictured greeting Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour. Editor at Large of the Mail on Sunday, Charlotte Griffiths, reacted to Meghan’s appearance during a chat on GB News, saying she found Meghan meeting Anna “very interesting.” Charlotte argued that Anna and Meghan “never really got on as Anna is a big monarchist and never invited her to the famous Met Gala ball.”

Charlotte also said that Meghan was “awkward” when meeting her fashion designer friend and argued that “she seemed a little out of place in Paris.” In addition, Meghan apparently sat in the front row of the show, and when a model tripped, Meghan reportedly “burst out laughing.”

When she arrived at the show, Meghan opted for crisp white wide-leg pants that were paired with a shirt, but the highlight was a cape that trailed behind her.

The Duchess of Suss3x was joined by her longtime friend Marcus Anderson, with the duo sitting alongside Tracee Ellis Ross. She was also spotted greeting the Hollywood director Baz Luhrmann. Prince Harry was not in attendance.

Meghan is believed to have last visited Europe in 2022, when she attended the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II in London. She has not been back to the UK since.

After the show, Meghan returned to her hotel in Paris, where she overheard a photographer telling her she was “shining like a diamond.”

The Duchess of Suss3x has previously attended New York and Toronto Fashion Weeks while working as an actress on Suits. It is believed this is her first fashion week appearance in years.

Commenting on Meghan’s outfit, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle told Hello! Magazine: “Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together, collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage. She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different.”

Former Strictly star Vincent Simone has exclusively spoken out after viewers were left unimpressed with changes to its results show.

The 2025 series is in full swing and Movie Week is just around the corner. Last weekend, Thomas Skinner and Amy Dowden were the first couple booted off.

While many were left divided over the result, they were also distracted by the show’s new format.

Strictly viewers react to ‘new format’ following first results show

On Sunday night’s results show, there was a bit of a Strictly shake-up. Usually, host Tess Daly would tell one couple they were in the bottom two mid-way through the results show, and the other just before the dance-off.

This weekend, however, she let two groups of couples know they were safe, before introducing guest singer Zara Larsson and leaving four couples with another agonising wait. It was only after Zara performed that Tess let the remaining four couples – who Dianne and Stefan, Karen and Harry, Chris and Nadiya and Thomas and Amy – know their fate.

After viewers found out that Thomas and Amy and Nadiya and Chris had landed themselves in the bottom two, they expected Dianne and Stefan and Karen and Harry to return upstairs for an interview with host Claudia Winkleman. Except that didn’t happen.

Fans also noticed that the entrance music and tense song played during the show’s elimination process is not the same. After 23 series, the Strictly’s format has felt like a tradition for viewers. So naturally, they reacted online with disappointment.

“I feel sorry for the last two safe contestants who don’t get to speak in the Clauditorium and the music is weird,” one user wrote. “One thing I didn’t like was not hearing from the last two that got through,” another shared.

“Is it me or is the new format of the results show awful,” a third said. “Farewell old tension music much missed,” a fourth expressed.

“Just watched the result show, the new format is stupid, can production stop change the traditional things? First entrance music, now two more couples can not get interview? What’s your problem? This show already losing vibes and production pushing it,” a fifth wrote.

‘It puts more pressure on the couples’

Following the complaints, Vincent shared his opinion exclusively with ED!.

“Things need to evolve – shows, people, everything,” he said, on behalf of Paddy Power Games.

“I did like it this year, I liked that it was a bit different and left the couples waiting longer. It made it more interesting, even though it might be a bit more upsetting for them.”

Vincent insisted that the “only negative” is when the call out order for who is safe is “random”.

He added: “If you’re not called early on, it can be nerve-wracking waiting there, wondering if you’re safe. But on the other hand, it can push people to work even harder the following week.”

“From a viewer’s perspective, I think it’s a good change. It puts more pressure on the couples and adds to the excitement. When you’re down to the last few waiting, it really gets the audience going.”

Comedian Katherine Ryan’s husband, Bobby Kootstra, reflected on a gruesome injury he suffered after a jet-skiing on holiday left him with a torn-up groin. The 42-year-old opened up about the painful incident during the couple’s joint podcast, aptly titled, Telling Everybody Everything. Bobby explained that he was playing around with a child’s water jet ski with a friend during a trip to Canada when the incident that shaved some length off his nether regions occurred.

The Canadian native also declared to listeners that he had a micro penis, which averages at a length of less than 3.67 inches. The podcaster told Katherine: “Right away, I got pulled up and like, one leg drags because of the skis and the bad driving, and then I just felt a pop.” Bobby interjected: “There was like shrinkage, like in a cold pool, for a week, and I was like ‘alright, what is going on here? Why is it [my penis] so small?’”

Bobby detailed the horror incident (Image: YouTube)

During their discussion, Bobby went on to reveal that after much confusion, he opted to search the internet for answers.

He admitted: “I had to Google, ‘torn groin, small penis’. It does happen because of the injury and the muscles – it just kind of shrunk into itself.”

Although finding the answers did offer some reassurance, Bobby added: “I knew at least it was because of this that my penis is so ti:ny now.”

The couple, who have been married for six years and share three children, including Katherine’s daughter from a previous relationship, and are expecting their fourth child, to which the comic joked they had a “good run.”

“Micro penis, 42, with four kids, married to a woman who loves you…,” Katherine hilariously listed, as Bobby agreed: “I was thinking the same thing, I am like, ‘what do I even need a penis for now?’”

He continued: “With this micro penis thing, I’m just more thankful for the things I have in life… I was like, ‘okay yes, I have this micro penis, I also have a lovely family, a nice garden.’”

Katherine has previously opened up about her family dynamics and how Bobby and her daughter Violet, from a previous relationship, have such a close bond.

The comedian told the Daily Express: “Well Bobby’s just my favourite person so that makes it easy! But in all honesty, I think the key to every relationship is communication right?

“My daughter thinks we’re gross but we do make time for each other where we can, whether it be date night or having dinner on the sofa with our favourite show on when everyone’s in bed.”
