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.

Lily James marks major career milestone as she follows in Sylvester Stallone’s footsteps

Lily James is set to scale new heights as Hollywood’s latest action hero. The Downton Abbey actress, 36, stars in a reboot of Sylvester Stallone’s gripping 1993 thriller, Cliffhanger.

Lily said: “It is the most amazing film and I guess Sylvester ­Stallone wasn’t available, so they just thought… Lily James.”The actress, who played Pamela Anderson in the TV drama Pam & Tommy, said casting agents in Los Angeles are now promoting her as a “Sylvester Stallone type”.

But she had to climb a mountain to get Naomi’s job, whose family is being taken by a group of kidnappers.

Rocky star Sly, 79, is a mountaineer who is involved in the US Treasury plane hijacking in the original movie. For the 2026 film, Lily promised to learn how to climb, but later admitted she had forgotten.

She continued, “I was on vacation in Ibiza last year and I remembered. So I went there, found a teacher, spent weeks and weeks climbing with him for five hours a day, and fell in love with it.

For Lily, who was in New York this week to promote Swiped, a biopic about Bumble dating app founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, Cliffhanger is undoubtedly a change of pace and setting.

Lily plays Herd, but admitted she has never used a dating app. She admitted: “I feel guilty and a bit of a fake playing this creator of these apps, having never really done it.

However, I did steal my friend’s phone to conduct research for this movie. She said that a lot of the actual acting in this movie kind of resonates with viewers.

One of the long-term producers of this movie met their long-term partner on Bumble, she continued. “It’s pretty profound.

Lily, who has previously dated Doctor Who star Matt Smith and more recently Queens of the Stone Age rocker Michael Shuman, said that she preferred meeting men more organically.

She claimed on NBC, “I’m afraid that we are losing this – a lost art of peering into people and running over them.” That won’t disappear, I hope.

The 2025 biographical drama Swiped, starring Lily, follows Whitney Wolfe Herd, the creator of the dating apps Tinder and Bumble. It is based on the true story of the founder of Tinder and Bumble.

Her other film credits include Mamma Mia! and Baby Driver (2016). Here We Go Again (2018), Yesterday (2019), and The Iron Claw (2023).

Lily’s professional acting career started in 2010 with her television debut in the BBC production Just William.

She started her career with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2010, where she received her diploma, and later appeared in Secret Diary of a Call Girl in 2012. From 2012 to 2015, she served as the main character on Downton Abbey.

Reality TV hosts Lateysha Grace and Charlotte Crosby are horrified that their baby monitors have been compromised. The TV stars have claimed that they have found out about their breast feeding habits.

Lateysha, 32, is best known for her roles in Big Brother and The Valleys in 2016 and MTV’s The Valleys. She has three daughters: Wynter, who was born in 2015, Layke, who was born in 2022, and Navy Storm Grace, who was born in January 2025.

The proud mother claims she was concerned that someone was monitoring her because she heard a strange voice from her baby monitor. She has taken to social media to share her online experiences.

She claimed: “Guys, a woman just said “Hello” through the baby monitor, there’s new we got them just yesterday, Wynter and my fiance all heard it. I’m completely shaken! Has anyone else experienced this before? like, “What do I even do?”

She revealed the make of the monitor to her followers in a later post. She claimed, “My fiance bought these cameras. I’m horrified to think that these cameras could have been used to monitor my children.

They will be returned first thing, we promise. We would appreciate any recommendations for additional cameras.

Geordie Shore star Charlotte, who shares daughters Alba Jean, born in 2022, and Pixi Cecilia, born in January this year, with fiancé Jake Ankers has suggested she had a similar experience.

She responded to Lateysha’s post by saying, “Girls, this is a real thing and scary,” online.

She continued, “People have been hacking into baby monitors!!!” and continued, “You can’t just say that.”

She continued, “They can watch the entire feed and have been watching mothers breastfeeding it’s absolutely awful!!!”

She wrote, “Basically, when I was reading the reviews, all of them were claiming that the hackers could get inside via the Wi-Fi connection, which is basically the case with all monitors with built-in Wi-Fi.” She then shared a product that she claimed was unhackable.

Parents who are worried about monitor hacking have a few tips from the parenting website Mama Academy. They claim that “it’s unsettling to think about someone hacking into your baby monitor.” Cyberattacks are possible on baby monitors, especially those connected to the internet. These devices frequently lack robust security measures, making them easy targets for hackers.

They provide a variety of advice to parents who want to protect both themselves and their families. They advise “Use a safer option” to replace your baby monitor’s default username and password.

Additionally, they advise that you check the security of your home’s Wi-Fi network and think about using a guest network for your baby monitor.

It is also recommended to regularly update your network, enable encryption, and check for unusual activity to protect against hackers.

Conor also shared a video of the moment when Kitty Bertrand, his new wife, received congratulations from loved ones on the news via Instagram.

As Earth, Wind, and Fire played in the background, she was quickly embraced by those close to her. Kitty expressed her excitement for the occasion.

Charlotte Chilton, the star of The Traitors, requested Conor Maynard’s request to have her baby’s father be a new DNA test following his claim. She was “shell shocked,” she was left, though.

Conor was Conor’s father, and she claimed Penelope was her baby last year.

Conor didn’t address the public claims even though Charlotte was pregnant. He did, however, reveal the results of a March DNA test in a statement.

He confirmed that he is not Charlotte’s child, setting the record straight about his paternity and “dead beat dad” claims. Following their brief fling at a club the night of The Traitors’ final performance, Charlotte and Conor briefly dated.

Singer Conor responded to the second paternity test’s results by saying, “Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which Charlotte Chilton requested regarding her baby girl, Penelope.

This test has once more confirmed that I’m not Penelope’s father, as with the previous test. Penelope’s, Charlotte’s, and my DNA were all taken at a facility that Charlotte had recommended to the Ministry of Justice.

The conclusions are therefore conclusive. I’m so grateful for everyone’s help because this has been difficult for me and my family. I’m pleased to see that this is finally able to be drawn out. I sincerely hope that the results of these tests will inspire everyone to find a way to move on. Conor”.

It sounds like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for that Spice Girls reunion, as one fifth of the band gets ready to release her first album in five years. Mel C reveals she’s to drop her ninth solo record and go on tour.

The news won’t be music to the ears of Mel B – who is desperate to get the gang back together. She recently admitted she’s badgering the girls to form again so they can get back out on tour. In an exclusive chat, Mel C teases what fans can expect from her new music that’s imminent.

She claimed that her new album was “finished and ready to go,” indicating that she is now busier than ever. According to Sporty Spice, her DJ career has influenced her musical direction as she continues to experiment.

She states, “I’ve been leaning more toward electronic pop music over the past few albums.” And with this one, I had to genuinely embrace that more along with my DJing and dance music.

I merely wanted to enjoy it and make something I adore. The album is complete, and updates are expected soon. I just love to sing, to perform, and to DJ, and I want to put everything together for this album because I feel like I’m still learning and growing. I’m eager to perform it once more.

Mel insists that due to collaborations with strong female artists, the album will still honor the girl power that the band has made famous. She also declares her desire to continue moving forward, partly because she wants to achieve a new fitness goal.

Mel said, “Exercrcise is so important to me. I’m launching Musical’s Greatest Hits,” a new album by Ben Forster. I want to be as active as possible, dance, perform, and have fun on stage. Although my sister wants us to compete in a physical activity together, I need some time to prepare.

“I’ve been busier than I’ve ever been this summer,” I must admit. It has been nonstop, and we can only hope that it will grow even busier next year. Although I’d like to do it, I also want to be physically prepared.

Gigi Hadid took to Instagram on Friday to celebrate a milestone for her daughter Khai Malik, who just turned five.

The 30-year-old model, currently in a relationship with actor Bradley Cooper, 50, posted a touching series of images and memories for her 81 million followers.

In a horse stable, she was seen crouching beside Khai in one of the photos. While her daughter looked as though she was a cowgirl wearing pink boots, denim, and tiny brown chaps, Gigi was casually dressed in jeans, camouflage sweatshirts, and a baseball cap.

She added the caption “Happy Birthday to my greatest love & gift” to the picture, which read, “My girl is 5 today.”

Hadid, who shares Khai with her former partner Zayn Malik, 32, also shared a throwback photo from October 2023 where she cradled her daughter on her hip, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with her hair pulled into a braid. Other clips included pregnancy snapshots and fan-curated pictures of mother and daughter.

Hadid frequently shares photos of Khai, but Malik and Hadid make a point of keeping their daughter’s face a secret.

She explained her strategy to Vogue earlier this year, saying, “I don’t believe it would be completely genuine to post nothing of Khai.” However, I also don’t want to promote anything that would violate her privacy or tranquility.

The Guest in Residence founder also discussed her relationship with social media, describing a shift in how she uses it: “I am grateful for social media, and the ways that it has connected me to the world.

“I wouldn’t have the same career without it,” she said. Comparing Instagram to old-fashioned correspondence, she added, “My Instagram is like snail mail. If you follow me, you have to be patient, life has to load.… It’s different from how socials felt when I was younger. It doesn’t come as naturally to me as it did when Instagram started.”

Hadid also emphasized the value of having a smooth parenting experience with Malik. She explained that Zayn and I have custody plans months in advance.

We support one another and have each other’s backs, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t occasionally change. She described how “love and camaraderie” are the foundation of their current relationship.

In 2020, Gigi and Zayn welcomed their daughter.

Gigi appeared in Gigi’s 2016 music video for Pillow Talk while the couple was together for six years.

The model and Cooper have been dating since their breakup, having met at a children’s birthday party in late 2023.

Since then, their romance has quietly begun to blossom, and Hadid is still juggling her high-profile career with her personal life.
