Strictly Come Dancing star Thomas Skinner is now facing a major blow as he is allegedly ‘banned’ from saying a certain phrase. The former Apprentice star is known for saying ‘Bosh’ in his social media videos, but the household brand Bosch has now slapped him with legal action. It comes after Thomas expressed plans to release a homeware collection featuring candles and bedding, all linked to his catchphrase. It has been reported that the top electrical firm, Bosch, has stopped this. It has now been claimed that lawyers for the company have asked Thomas to change the name associated with his homeware collection.

A source told The Sun: “Thomas has huge plans for the Bosh name and wanted to attribute the name to a number of hustles. […] But as his profile and social media following grew, Bosch got wind of it and put their lawyers on the case.”

They continued: “A names tribunal forced Thomas to back down, and he was powerless to stop it.”

Express Online has reached out to Thomas Skinner’s representative for comment.

Meanwhile, the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing is officially under way, with 15 new celebrities competing to win the Glitterball Trophy. One of the contestants involved is Thomas Skinner, who is partnered with Amy Dowden.

Only a few days ago, before the launch, the Essex businessman caused a stir online with a candid confession about cheating on his wife. On top of this, he also left a few journalists hanging when he exited a recent press conference early.

Despite his new apparent bond with Amy Dowden, Strictly fans expressed their disapproval of the pairing, especially as Amy has only recently returned following numerous health setbacks.

One person commented on social media: “You look amazing Amy. Great to see you back. So sorry you got the short straw with him though.”

However, one person disagreed and argued: “Amy Dowden kicked cancer’s *ss. She can manage Thomas Skinner for the 3 weeks it will take for the public to get bored of him.”
