Thomas Skinner shares first photo of new baby after Strictly controversy
Thomas Skinner has shared the first photos of his fourth child with wife Sinéad Chambers after welcoming the newborn this weekend.
Posting a family selfie from Sinéad’s hospital room, The Apprentice star, 35, wrote: ‘Today at 5:51pm, our little bundle of joy arrived weighing a healthy 7lb 13oz, and honestly, we couldn’t feel more blessed.’
Describing his wife, 34, as ‘incredible’ and ‘amazing’ he added: ‘I am so proud of you. Watching you bring our baby into the world was the most beautiful thing, and I love you more than words can ever say.’
The former Strictly star went on to thank ‘fantastic’ midwives Jo and Sarah, before remarking that Sinéad is ‘doing brilliantly, baby is doing well, and my heart is fuller than ever before.
‘Henry, Roma and Darla can’t wait to meet you, little one. You’ve already got the best big brother and sisters waiting for you. Our family is complete. Four beautiful children, one very proud dad, and a whole lot of love.’

He finished: ‘Welcome to the world, little one. We love you endlessly.’
The Skinners’ baby news comes less than a year after he became the first celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly 2025.
It marked an ignominious end to his brief run on the BBC competition – soon after he sparked headlines by acting out at a press conference, grabbing a journalist’s phone.
At the same time, he’d also faced backlash for recent comments in which he’d admitted to cheating on his wife… weeks after their 2022 wedding.
He continued to kick up a fuss even after leaving the competition, claiming that the results of the first public vote had been a ‘fix,’ unfairly eliminating him from the show.
However, a subsequent poll revealed that he’d been the least popular contestant on that year’s show, in spite of his claims.
