Thomas Skinner has committed to supporting Amy Dowden after their partnership was revealed during the recent premiere of Strictly Come Dancing. Before the dancing competition even began, the former star of The Apprentice, Thomas, had stirred controversy by confessing to an extramarital affair and causing a scene at a press event by seizing a reporter’s phone.

The Essex entrepreneur has pledged to move past the drama now that he has been paired with fan-favorite Amy on Strictly. The audience witnessed the duo being matched up for the upcoming competition during Saturday night’s launch event.

After the show aired, Amy took to Instagram to share her thoughts on her partner, expressing admiration for Thomas’s dedication to learning to dance and the enjoyable moments they shared during the week. Fans, however, seemed less enthused, with some expressing disappointment in the pairing and questioning Thomas’s potential.

Nevertheless, undeterred by the mixed reception, Thomas assured Amy of his commitment to their journey together. Despite acknowledging his dancing skills may not be top-notch, he promised to be the hardest worker and expressed gratitude for Amy’s kindness and camaraderie.

Amy, known for her resilience, made a remarkable comeback to Strictly last year following a breast cancer diagnosis. Despite facing health challenges, including a stress fracture during a previous season, she remains determined to raise awareness about breast cancer and inspire others with her strength and perseverance.

With a renewed sense of purpose and a positive outlook, Amy looks forward to returning to the Strictly dance floor, seizing every opportunity to make a meaningful impact and share her inspiring story with the world.
