Strictly Come Dancing star Thomas Skinner was spotted for the first time since he admitted to cheating on his wife days after they got married

Strictly Come Dancing’s Thomas Skinner was chatting away on the phone as he was spotted for the first time since admitting he cheated on his wife. Over the weekend, The Apprentice star revealed he had a “two-week fling” with a beauty clinic boss two weeks after they tied the knot.

He said he later apologised to his wife. The 34-year-old candidly admitted that it was the “biggest mistake” of his life. Thomas met the woman while at the pub and claims that she offered him “cosmetic slimming treatments.” The fling took place just weeks after he and his wife Sinead tied the knot in May 2022.

An emotional Thomas said his wife, who is the mother of his children, is the best thing to have happened to him and he instantly felt guilty after sleeping with beauty clinic boss Amy-Lucy O’Rourke.

He says he woke up and instantly regretted his cheating. “I’m so lucky she forgave me,” he said of his wife. Thomas went on to add: “It was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. It was terrible, I’m a very, very open book, and I don’t hide anything from my wife. She was obviously distraught, upset.”

Days after making the admission, the market trader turned TV star was spotted arriving at Strictly rehearsals in a high-top Transit van with a parking ticket slapped on the dashboard.

After parking his car, he was seen chatting on the phone and beaming during the conversation. He then stepped out of the grey vehicle holding a large bottle of juice and a sports bag.

Along with a purple polo shirt and grey shorts, he wore black dance shoes and his wedding ring for the tough rehearsals ahead of him.

When Thomas revealed he cheated, he said he understood if his wife Sinead never wanted to speak to him again after his admission. Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Thomas continued: “No one else made me do what I’ve done.

“But it just shows how something so brief could ruin your life.” And now, Sinead is his rock, whom he says has made him the person he is today.

“My wife is my rock,” he said, adding: “She’s the person I adore more than anything in the world. And I let her down, I’m ashamed, I’m so fortunate my wife’s forgiven me, she didn’t deserve it. I was a selfish person.” Today, the couple are the happiest they’ve been, with Sinead supporting him throughout his Strictly experience.

But Thomas claimed his grief played a part in his decision to stray, with the fling coming just a day after a close friend, named Big Mark, had sadly died. Mark had taken Thomas in when he was homeless and acted like a father figure to him. However, the woman Thomas cheated with claims that it was more than a fling and claims she was in a relationship with Thomas.

A spokesperson for Amy Lucy told the Mirror: “This has been an incredibly stressful and painful chapter in Amy Lucy’s life. She did not have a fling with Mr Skinner, she had a relationship with him and was deceived then treated appallingly. She will consider her response and speak her truth in due course.”

This Morning presenter Lisa Snowdon look sensational as she struck up a series of poses in a bikini while enjoying a luxury retreat in Vietnam this week

Lisa Snowdon’s toned midriff was the star of the show in her latest social media update. Posting from her luxury retreat in Vietnam, the This Morning star snapped a pic of herself in just a bikini to show off her figure.

The 53-year-old is on a relaxing holiday in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, and has been practising her yoga. Taking to Instagram, she showed off exactly what kind of figure the hobby can get you. She wore a variety of swimwear to display her strength, flexibility and muscled midriff.

One photo saw Lisa doing a tree pose on a rock. She wore a gorgeous green and black bikini, and kept a serene expression on her face as she held the pose.

In another photo, she beamed at the camera from the side of a swimming pool. In that one, she swapped the green bikini top for a white and grey one. She completed the look with a grey cowboy hat and some aviator sunnies.

In the caption, she wrote: “Quy Nhon. Found a little slice of heaven, we will be back. Full moons full happiness.”

Lisa was joined on her holiday by her fiancé George Smart, who founded a communications firm. He was spotted in the background of some of her pictures, including the one taken from the pool. The couple are staying in Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, where prices start from £398 per night.

The soon-to-be-wed pair started dating more than two decades ago, when Lisa was an MTV DJ and George was the channel’s head of events. Though they broke up, they got back together 10 years ago and got engaged in 2017.

Due to how long the engagement has been, some have wondered when the two will get married. When asked, Lisa admitted she has a “tiny hint of reservation” about marriage, as it may change their dynamic.

She told The Mirror: “Deep down I do know it wouldn’t, but then I think, ‘Well my mum and dad’s marriage didn’t last,”‘and some people say, ‘Don’t do it because it changes things,’.

“So there’s 90 per cent of me that knows nothing would change, but a tiny hint of reservation where I think it would.”

George, on the other hand, said has no reservations and would marry Lisa tomorrow if it were possible to get everyone they love there.

Lisa has shared one thing she’s excited about when it comes to marriage – the word ‘husband’. “Being able to call him ‘my husband’ and saying, ‘My husband’s coming soon, I’m just waiting for my husband!’ I think I prefer ‘my husband’ to ‘my fiancé’ – I’d love it!”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to appear in a new documentary – in a surprise new move.

The Sussexes are no strangers to documentaries, appearing in their explosive Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan, which lifted the lid on their experience of royal life.

However, in their latest foray into TV, they will appear on American network ABC News in an in-depth feature about the history of the iconic Disneyland theme park. It will also include some Hollywood big names who will reveal their fondest memories of it. The documentary, titled The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland, will air on Sunday.

According to People magazine, ABC News wrote in a statement: “Viewers will hear reflections on childhood visits to the park from some of Disney’s biggest fans… and an exclusive message from Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on what the park means to them and their family.”

Harry and Meghan visited the park in California in June this year , enjoying a family day out with their two children in celebration of Lilibet’s birthday.

Harry can be heard saying in the trailer: “Prepare yourself, you’re about to be blown away.” Meghan chimed in: “We were just so lucky,” likely referencing their unforgettable trip.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Harry reveals that his favourite Disney attraction is Space Mountain, which he tried with his wife while there in June. Meghan added after her husband’s revelation: “Still one of your favourite rides by the way.”

When the Sussexes travelled to the park earlier this year, Meghan took to her Instagram account to post a video with clips and pictures of the whole family enjoying their trip, with the message: “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!”

The family photos showed them all donning Mickey Mouse ears and soaking up the Disney magic, with attractions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, formerly Splash Mountain. Their adventure didn’t stop there, as they also mingled with Star Wars stormtroopers, and Harry was snapped sharing a joyful grin on a ride next to Lilibet.

The family indulged in traditional theme park fare, with a photo showcasing a spread of corndogs and snacks, marking their delightful outing.

According to People, Hollywood stars such as Julie Andrews, who visited the park with Walt Disney himself, actor Josh Gad, Star Wars creator George Lucas, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Stephanie Beatriz, Jamie Lee Curtis and John Stamos will appear in the documentary.

Viewers of the documentary will get a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the beloved park, which celebrates its 70th year this summer, operates. They will also see some of the things and new attractions expected to come in the future.

Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball and husband Norman Cook, also known as DJ Fatboy Slim, first met in Ibiza in 1998 but their relationship came to an end almost two decades later

BBC radio star Zoe Ball has revealed how she was determined not to repeat the same blunder as her parents following the breakdown of her marriage.

The Radio 2 presenter shares two children, Woody and Nelly, with former husband Norman Cook (more commonly known as DJ Fatboy Slim) before the duo parted ways in 2016 following 18 years together.

The pair initially crossed paths in Ibiza in 1998 but their romance reached its conclusion nearly two decades afterwards.

Recently, during a conversation with Jo Whiley on their Dig It podcast, the duo were listening to remarks from fans of the programme when one praised how brilliantly Zoe had been in handling shared parenting duties.

Reflecting on her earlier days when her parents separated, she was determined not to travel down the identical path her parents had taken.

Zoe was keen to preserve a friendly bond with the DJ following their decision to bring their marriage to a close, explaining: “My parents split up. It kind of really broke my heart to get divorced because I felt like the thing I did not want for my kids is what happened to me.”

While Zoe’s mum and dad allegedly didn’t remain in contact following their divorce in the 1970s, Zoe revealed how she was committed to sustaining a positive connection with her former partner for the sake of their two youngsters: “And so when Norm and I split up, we were still friends and it took time. But one of our things, right, we’ve got to do right by our kids and we’ve got to make this work for them.”

After her parents separated when she was merely two-years-old, Zoe was raised by her father Johnny and stepmother Di, not seeing her biological mother until her teenage years.

Nevertheless, having built a strong bond with her mum over time, Zoe took a break from her career last year when her mother Julia tragically died after fighting cancer.

In a heartfelt tribute to her late mum on X (formerly known as Twitter), she wrote: “Thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally, to always show courage and empathy, and how, even in the darkest of days, laughter is the greatest of gifts.”

After their initial encounter in Ibiza, it wasn’t long before Zoe and Norman made their relationship official, announcing their engagement in 1999.

The following year witnessed Zoe welcoming their first child, Woody, with their second, Nelly, arriving a decade later. Yet, after 17 years as a couple, the pair chose to end their marriage and have shared parenting duties for their children ever since.

The perfume opens with Frangipani Blossom, Jasmine and juicy Bergamot, before revealing a heart of Lotus, Raspberry and Prune, and finally giving way to enticing Amber, Hinoki Wood and Musk in the base.

Shoppers adore this fragrance, which has an impressive 4.6 out of 5-star rating on Lookfantastic.

A third chimes in: “Versace Woman Eau de Parfum has been my mother’s signature scent for the last 15 years, and she always asks for it as a ‘pick-me-up’ gift. The fragrance is elegant yet versatile, with a beautiful balance of floral and woody notes that make it timeless. It’s a high-quality perfume at a reasonable price, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a classic, feminine scent.”

One customer does note their disappointment, writing: “I bought this as it was on offer for a great price. It smells really lovely, but I got through the bottle quite quickly. It’s not as strong or as long-lasting as other perfumes. Nice, but I probably wouldn’t purchase it again.”

But the praise is overwhelming, as this shopper gushes: “I always get compliments when I have this perfume on! It’s reasonably priced as well. If you’re looking for a cheap-ish nice perfume, this is the one for sure!”

Singer Yungblud gifted shocked fans with a number of cheeky snaps shared to his Instagram page as he updated fans on his life on tour

Yungblud fans were lost for words after the singer shared a series of suggestive snaps to his Instagram page. The 28-year-old breakdown musician only recently shocked fans when he showed up to the MTV Video Music Awards wearing a pair of extremely low rise trousers.

During the lavish event, he joined Aerosmith and Nuno Bettencourt on stage to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne – who died in July aged 76 – whilst viewers and celebrities at the event were shown a moving montage featuring Ozzy’s children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Jessica.

In a new post shared with fans, Yungblud shared an update from his time on the road in America. “The road with my best friends,” he captioned the post.

In the first photo, the star stands in front of a food trolley, sipping tea in his hotel room. He wears nothing but a white towel around his waist, which he cheekily pushes down with his thumb.

He also shared snaps of him backstage, hanging out with fans, applying his usual black eyeliner. One picture was zoomed in on belt where a lit cigarette peaked out from his Calvin Klein briefs.

Yungblud also posted moments from his concerts and showed off a few of his outfits. Fans were quick to make jokes about the saucy snaps, with one user writing: “Forgive me father for I have zoomed.” While one fan commented: “I really like you, but I’ve seen enough of your pubes.”

One fan referred to a mirror selfie from when he was wearing a sheet mask on his face and said: “I love a man that appreciates good skincare.” However, another went on to say: “You need to be the face of Calvin Klein!”

“The energy on main we need,” commented another excited fan. At the VMAs earlier this year, Yungblud kicked off his Ozzy tribute by singing Crazy Train and Changes with Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt on guitar.

They were then joined by the Aerosmith duo Steven Tyler and Joe Perry for Mama, I’m Coming Home at the star-studded bash at New York’s UBS Arena on Sunday night.

After the performance, the quartet embraced and Yungblud shouted: “Ozzy forever man!” The footage showed pop star Ariana Grande rocking out to the performance and appearing in awe.

Speaking before the tribute, Nuno, 58, said he knew the tribute – which was introduced by Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne and his four children via video link – would be emotional.

Yungblud had previously performed at Ozzy’s farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, at Villa Park, singing the iconic track, Changes.
