Strictly’s Thomas Skinner’s wife breaks her silence after ‘upsetting’ affair revelation

Although Thomas Skinner’s wife claims that she has received the most attention for her “upsetting” marriage, she still cares about him. Skinner, who made his Strictly Come Dancing debut this evening, admitted last week that he had cheated on his wife Sinead just before their 2022 wedding.

He claimed that the couple, who have three children, have “moved forward together,” and that she has forgiven him.

“Sinead has obviously been upsetting all of this. She has been struggling to handle the attention because it brings it all back, but she is resilient, has a strong family, and has a strong marriage, according to a source close to Sinead.

She said to the insider, “She was aware of this more than three years ago, and they handled the aftermath together back then,” and the insider continued to inform the Sun. She forgave him then because she knows this is old news.

Sinead is a very strong woman, many people are unaware of. She is incredibly true to what Tom has said about her as his “rock.”

The former The Apprentice star responded to the comments by saying, “It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for my and my family. My wife is amazing, I’ve learned.

After admitting to having an affair with Essex beauty artist Amy-Lucy O’Rourke, his personal life has been closely watched. Amy-Lucy has disputed his version of events, insisting that their three-month romance was far more serious than he had made out, despite his attempts to downplay it as just a fling.

He insisted that their relationship was fake, and they weren’t really in love, she told the Mail Online. He claimed to have never expressed his feelings for Sinéad and that he had never told her how he felt about me.

After learning that Tom had been paired with Amy Dowden, Strictly’s fans reacted by letting their emotions be known during the pre-recording launch show of the dance competition.

Fans quickly expressed their disappointment with the news, claiming that Amy, a well-known professional dancer, “deserved better.”

“THEY REALLY PUT AMY WITH HIM. She hasn’t had enough of. BBC #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing “famed one user on Twitter/X. And other users of the platform largely shared the same opinion.

Another user yelled, “WHO THE F*** DID THAT TO AMY?” BIG BIG WORDS ARE NEEDED. Why, exactly, do they treat Amy this way? #strictly. “

“Painted Amy,” another word. Amy, I salute you, hang on in there #Strictly, “alongside a gif from The Hunger Games,” while a fourth said: “While a fourth said:.

Tom said he was very happy with his partner for the show despite the online outcry. He responded to the presenters’ questions about his relationship with Amy and said he is “over the moon” to be dancing with her.

In this season’s attempt to land the coveted Glitter Ball, he is one of fifteen stars who will grace the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor. He admitted he was “beyond excited” to be joining the BBC dancing competition after being first announced for the show. He also stated that he has never danced in his life other than at weddings.

Bale would have loved to play for Bellamy

Gareth Bale, the legendary Welshman, claims he would have enjoyed playing for the national team’s Craig Bellamy.

Bale, who made 111 appearances for Wales in addition to his 111 career goals, claims that Wales has been revitalized since Bellamy took over in July 2024. He retired from football in 2023.

The former Real Madrid star thinks Wales are “in the mix” to win the 2026 World Cup that will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

As they compete for a spot in the group J, North Macedonia, Belgium, and Wales are currently tied by one point.

“I think what Craig has done has been great,” Craig says in a statement. “The campaign has been good so far.

He has arrived, he has taken over, and he has given the team that passion, which I believe it needed, a new “He’s come in, he’s taken over,” he says. We’re in the right place, in my opinion, and that’s good.

Bale, a five-time champion in the Champions League, anticipates a mouthwatering encounter in Cardiff when they face Belgium in their next qualifier in October.

The fact that we’re still in the mix, we’re right there at the top with the other nations, he said, “is important because we have very good teams in the group as well.” “You can easily be knocked out of a campaign very quickly, and we’re also in the group,” he said.

Despite a sluggish Cardiff bid, Bale is “content.”

Bale might have been a regular at Cardiff City Stadium this season because he was a member of a group that attempted to purchase the Bluebirds if things had changed.

The owners of Cardiff turned down Bale’s claim that he was interested in buying a club in the future because he enjoys being a father and doing TV punditry, but he says he would “love to explore” club ownership in the future.

“I was aware that football wouldn’t last forever.” I enjoy spending time with my family, involving myself in some TV activities and keeping up with football. I’m very busy with my kids, he continued.

It’s wonderful to now have the opportunity to spend time with them rather than spend weekends with them and miss many of their early years; it’s just wonderful to finally be a father. I’m currently content where I am.

Bale does not intend to play football in the future.

I would be interested and would love to learn more about a football club, he continued.
