After learning that he and professional dancer Amy Dowden will be paired with him on the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing, Thomas Skinner has criticised BBC presenter Peter Levy online.

After recently being caught up in a cheating scandal and posting contentious views online, the Apprentice star, 34, has received criticism from Amy’s fans and followers. The most recent celeb to make a comment on the Strictly paring is BBC presenter Peter Levy, who also goes by the name of Twitter: “I feel sorry for Amy Dowden….”

Don’t feel sorry for Amy, Peter, Thomas replied politely and wrote back. We’re going to have a great time on Strictly because she is such a talented woman and a fighter. We haven’t even stopped laughing, actually. You might be cheering on a talented dancer who has triumphed over more difficult battles that you and I have to face instead of making ridiculous digs at me.

On the Strictly Come Dancing (BBC) 2025 series, Thomas and Amy Dowden compete in dance.

You should stick reading the autocue, he said, and I should stick learning the cha-cha. In order to prevent her from falling in love with me, I’ll be trying my hardest to learn to dance. I want to do everything in my power, not just for myself but also for her. Bosh”.

In order to win the Glitter Ball trophy, Skinner is one of fifteen stars who have graced the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor this season. Skinner acknowledged that he was “beyond excited” to be joining the BBC dancing show after being announced that he had been chosen. He also admitted that he had never danced in his life other than at weddings.

He stated, “I’m beyond excited to be joining Strictly Come Dancing.” I’ve already had a few large breakfasts and the boardroom, but getting onto the dance floor under that glitter ball is next level!

I’ve never danced in my life, other than at weddings, but I’m up for it and, of course, laugh. Bring the BOSH, sambas, and sequins to the ballroom, of course!

While The Dance Duo appear intent on airing the series, many of Amy’s fans were left furious by the paring, including one user who wrote, “Oh, this is SO unfair on Amy. Literally, he’s the reason I’m not tuning in to this season.
