Strictly bosses pair Amy Dowden with Thomas Skinner
Amy’s had a tough couple of years. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and was forced to sit out of the show while she underwent treatment. Then, when she returned, she had to pull out midway through the series due to injury.
Meanwhile, Thomas – who rose to fame on The Apprentice – is arguably this year’s most controversial contestant. He’s a self-confessed Donald Trump fan. He’s been accused of having “flirtations” with Reform UK. And, this past week, admitted cheating on his wife weeks after his wedding. Thomas said it was a one-off. The other woman, meanwhile, maintains that it was a three-month affair.
With her new dance partner surrounded in scandal, Strictly fans have now blasted show producers for pairing Thomas with Amy.
They also predicted they will be the first couple to leave the show.

However, Thomas did have some defenders online. And one viewers pointed out that Amy most likely had a say in who she was partnered with for the 2025 series of Strictly.
“Surely she must have agreed to it,” said one.
“Good on you mate, don’t listen to the hatters, bosh!” declared another.

Amy replied and said: “Yes partner. Had the best week! You’ve work hard, we’ve laughed, and fun and you are looking after me too as am I you! Let’s do this partner. X”
