Thomas Skinner has given an unusual reason for marrying his wife while trying to please his mistress. The former Apprentice contestant confessed to cheating on his wife, Sinead, shortly after their 2022 wedding. Despite this, he stated that she has forgiven him, and they have moved on as a couple with their three children.
The Strictly Come Dancing star downplayed his affair with Amy-Lucy O’Rourke as a brief lapse in judgment, but Amy-Lucy claims that they fell in love during their time together. In a recent interview, Amy-Lucy detailed their romantic dates to pubs and restaurants, where Skinner introduced her as his girlfriend to some acquaintances.
According to Amy-Lucy, Skinner described his engagement to Sinead as a mere convenience and portrayed their relationship as lacking love. She recalls him expressing dissatisfaction with his home life and preferring to spend time elsewhere. Skinner and Sinead initially met in a London bar in 2018, got engaged two years later, and became parents to a son before their wedding in May 2022. They now have twin daughters.
Amy-Lucy revealed that Skinner never seemed enthusiastic about marrying the mother of his children. She recounted that Skinner told her he felt pressured to marry Sinead due to her family background, but she later discovered this to be untrue. Skinner allegedly portrayed his relationship with Sinead as insincere and claimed he had never loved her.
In a social media post, Skinner acknowledged his past mistakes and expressed gratitude for his wife’s forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of family to him. He also addressed the negative attention and criticism he has faced, noting that he is resilient to abuse and threats. Skinner emphasized the importance of acknowledging mistakes, discussing them openly, and granting second chances to individuals.
