Thomas Skinner announces ‘baby number 4 is on the way’ months after Strictly fallout

TV personality and businessman Tom Skinner has announced news of another ‘baby on the way’, with his wife Sinéad.

Skinner wrote in a post celebrating his birthday that he had ‘the greatest present in the world.’

He said: ‘I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more. Our little family of five is about to become six!!

‘I am so blessed and grateful! Better start looking for a bigger car.

‘Can’t wait to meet you, Baby Skinner. Best birthday ever. Mummy, Daddy and your big brother and sisters are going to love you so so much.’

In his caption, the entrepreneur finished the statement with his signature catchphrase: ‘Bosh’.

He has previously admitted to ‘making mistakes’ and cheating on his wife, who he embraced in a the pregnancy reveal alongside their three children, Henry, Darla and Roma.

Fans rejoiced at news of another baby Skinner. Ben_wilson_ldn wrote: ‘Congratulations Tom, and Happy Birthday, we love ya.’

@stugilkes gave a word of warning: ‘You’ve got your work cut out!’

While pdh2171 joked: ‘Bigger table at the pub now mate.’

The news comes after Skinner appeared on Strictly and was the first contestant to leave.

Messiness ensued afterwards as he thought he was unfairly eliminated.

He said: ‘On the night I left the show, I received an anonymous email claiming to be from a BBC exec with stats, saying I’d received far more votes than it appeared.’

At the time a BBC spokesperson said: ‘Strictly Come Dancing’s public vote is independently overseen and verified to ensure complete accuracy every week.’

They added: ‘Any claims to the contrary are entirely without foundation. Unfortunately, despite requests for it, Mr Skinner is yet to share the email he references with anyone from the BBC, so we are unable to comment on it.’

Skinner didn’t attend the final of the show as is customary, missing the chance to dance with professional partner Amy Dowden one last time.

He told followers on social media: ‘I spoke with my lovely dance partner, Amy Dowden to make sure she was okay with me not attending. She’s a good person and a good friend now, I’d never let her down.’

His latest BBC appearance was in Celebrity Apprentice, where he was tasked with making a Christmas biscuit in aid of Children in Need.

Having previously appeared on the regular version of the show, Lord Alan Sugar was keen to have some fun with Skinner and teased him for now being a ‘celebrity’.

The Strictly star got emotional reflecting on how far he’d come, and burst into tears in the boardroom.

Skinner was in a group with new host of The Apprentice spin-off show Angela Scanlon who told Metro: ‘We referred to him as our golden goose from the get-go.’

She admitted he was ‘great’ until he took on a directing role for the biscuit advert and produced a product that she called: ‘sub-standard’.
