Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens for another year but Tom Skinner was the first one to be sent home from the show
Thomas Skinner has said he is abused by strangers as he shared his bitter regret at doing Strictly Come Dancing. The former Apprentice star took to social media to express why he wishes he never entered the dance show in the first place.
Tom was the first person to leave the programme after performing his Salsa with professional dancer Amy Dowden. However, despite seeming to enjoy his time on the show, he has now changed his mind.
The dad-of-three has said he feels like he “can’t do anything right” after leaving the BBC dace competition. Tom explained that all her tries to do is “spread positivity” online but feels like all he’s getting is backlash.

Writing on X, he said: “I’ve had enough of all this b******* I can’t do anything right now without someone critising me. Or Making me do something against my will. It’s b*******. I wish I never done strictly, I never fitted the bill for that show let’s be honest. And It’s Caused me nothing but agg. Constant absuse.
“All I f****** do is try to spread positivity online. I can’t walk anywhere without people knowing who I am. I’ve had a narrative spun against me so People always have an opinion on me now that they didn’t 3 months ago. I’ve heard so many lies said and told about me.
“It’s driving me mad. I’ve had a constant pile on of abuse over the last month like I’m a mass murderer. It’s b*******. I went out to work in my van this morning and I’m either getting beeped at or people putting their thumb up at me.”
Tom went on to add that he’s “had enough” after feeling that people he has supported are “starting to turn on [him]” because of what is being said about him online. He told fans that he would be taking a break from being online to concentrate on him and his family.
Tom added: “I ain’t one to admit I’m struggling. But I am. I’m honestly tired of all this nonsense. Can no one see what’s happening to me, I don’t know why I’ve become this target. I’ve always been the one that’s been solid. But I’ve really really had enough now.”
He signed off his message with his catchphrase “bosh” and a red heart emoji. Tom was the first celebrity contestant to be booted off the show in this year’s series.
He was up against rugby player Chris Robshaw in the bottom two, but judges unanimously chose to save Chris. Speaking on the show, Tom told host Tess Daly: “I’ve loved it. I’ve never danced before and my stay was short, but Amy’s amazing. It’s been great fun and I’ve enjoyed it. I can’t really dance that well but I’ve had fun! Thank you, Amy – sorry that we haven’t done too good, ‘cause you’re a different class.”
