Thomas Skinner Admits Past Mistakes and Hints at More Secrets After Cheating on Wife

Thomas Skinner has hinted more secrets could come out following his cheating scandal, saying: ‘If you dig you’ll find more’ in a furious social media rant on Monday.

The Apprentice star, 34, who is days away from starring on Strictly Come Dancing, took to social media on Monday after admitting his’fling’ with aesthetician Amy-Lucy O’Rourke was a ‘moment of madness’ which saw him almost ‘ruin his life’.

Thomas cheated on his wife Sinead just weeks after their wedding in May 2022, which Amy-Lucy, 35, claimed lasted three months long in an interview with Daily Mail. 

Thomas wrote: ‘My life ain’t perfect…..far from it. I’ve made big mistakes, I’ve let people down, and done things I’ll always regret in my past. The worst was what I did to my wife three and a half years ago…..one stupid moment I’ll carry forever. 

‘It was nothing more and nothing less despite what is being said. I told her straight away. She had every right to leave me back then, but she forgave me…….and that forgiveness changed my life. 

‘Since then, we’ve built a new home, had two more beautiful children, and moved forward together. We are stronger. Family is everything to me. It’s what I do everything for. But I’ve noticed I’ve become a target. 

‘Every part of my life is being dragged out….. even my families. People around me have been offered BIG money to sell stories. 

‘And I’ve noticed I’m being portrayed as public enemy number 1. They’re trying to break me and get me cancelled. And if I’m honest, I’m not sure why. 

‘I know what it’s like to be low and down on luck. It’s the whole reason why I spread positivity online…. because I know what rock bottom feels like. I’ve been there, many times!! I’m not some full-time celeb in a bubble. 

‘I still graft, I still go to work. In fact I’ve been working this morning before I start Strictly training.’

The star went onto add he has received a ‘battering’ from the public online following his affair revelation.

He added: ‘Most of what’s said about me isn’t true. I’ve got thick skin and the abuse and death threats don’t bother me. In fact some lies make me laugh. But please leave my wife and kids alone. 

‘I did this to them by a silly moment of madness over 3 years ago, no one else. If you want to go for someone, go for me. In my life….I’ve lost close friends. I’ve lost family.’

He urged: ‘I’ve made mistakes and if you dig you’ll find more. But here’s the truth: most people have made mistakes. It’s okay to own up to them, it’s okay to talk about them and people do deserve second chances. 

‘At the end of the day, it’s about getting back up, rebuilding, and looking after the ones you love. And as long as I’ve got my family, I’ll never stop fighting to be a better man. 

‘I’ve been forced into a corner to bring up something my wife and I have moved on from years ago. I feel so bad for my wife for having to do this. It’s humiliating for her. 

‘I’m sure I’m gonna be forced to talk about other moments that have happened in my life. I’m not sure why everyone is so interested in me……But if I am completely honest….. no one else’s opinions matter apart from those I care about. 

‘I Never take any criticism from anyone i wouldn’t take advice from. That’s the truth. Is it all worth it….? We keep on going. I know what is right and what is wrong.

‘Love to you all. Have a wonderful Monday and a great start to the week. And remember, you are ten times stronger than you can ever imagine. Bosh❤️’

‘That is actually traumatising to me – you don’t say that to someone when you’re already happily married. It’s devastating, I fell in love with him, I believed him, but Thomas is nothing but a liar and a cheat.’ 

After meeting through friends, their relationship grew romantic when Thomas visited Amy-Lucy at her clinic for a body sculpting treatment designed to remove excess fat on June 12, 2022. Thomas said he would post about it on social media.

Meanwhile, Thomas claimed the fling was a ‘two week thing’ with the beauty clinic boss and was ‘fortunate’ that Sinead forgave him. 

The couple, who share a son Henry, five, and two-year-old twin daughters, Roma and Darla, married in May 2022. 

He told The Sun: ‘I had a fling. 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.’ 

‘When I told my wife, I fully understood if she was to never speak to me again. No one else made me do what I’ve done. But it just shows something so brief could ruin your life.’ 

Thomas, who has become known for his social media videos and ‘Bosh’ catchphrase, met Sinead in a bar in London back in 2018.

He announced he had proposed to her in July 2020, just three months after the couple revealed they were expecting their first child. 

It comes after Thomas brushed off his meltdown and got his dancing shoes on days before his Strictly Come Dancing debut, in an Instagram video on Friday.

The former Apprentice star left journalists shocked on Tuesday when he abruptly left a press call after snatching a reporter’s phone.

Addressing the scandal himself, Thomas took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a statement in which he apologised to the journalist and admitted he was working to ‘move past difficult moments in his past’.

The Daily Mail also told how the BBC was standing by Thomas and he would remain on the show, which launches on September 20.

In a statement on his storm out, Thomas told his followers: ‘To set the record straight off the back of yesterday, during one of the interviews, a journalist placed their phone on the table to record the conversation. 

‘I happened to catch a glimpse of the screen and saw numerous messages – not about Strictly, but about a personal story from my past.’ 

Revealing he felt triggered by the tales of his past, Thomas continued: ‘I’ve been through some difficult times in my life, which I’ve worked hard to move on from.

‘In that moment, seeing it there caught me off guard. I felt it was best to step away and gather myself.’

Thomas continued: ‘This had nothing to do with the interviews or Strictly itself.

‘I’m sorry I picked up someone else’s phone and I don’t even know if the journalist realised their messages were visible, and I don’t want to suggest any bad intentions on their part.

‘What I do want to say is how excited I am to be part of Strictly this year. I’m so grateful for all the love, kindness and support I’ve been shown so far. It means the world to me, and I can’t wait to give it my all on that dancefloor. Bosh.’
