Strictly’s Thomas Skinner reveals his son Henry, 4, has undergone surgery while his father Lee has also been hospitalised in candid update

Thomas Skinner, known for his strict stardom, recently disclosed that his family experienced several health challenges over the weekend. He expressed hope that September would be filled with more “happiness, joy, amusement, and pleasure.

Previously contestant from The Apprentice shared on several Twitter updates that his 4-year-old child, Henry, required surgery, and his father Lee was also admitted to the hospital.

On Sunday, next to a picture of his son in the hospital, he wrote: ‘This morning, my courageous son Henry is having surgery at the hospital with Sinead. To distract myself from worrying, I took my daughters out for breakfast.’

‘I also dressed them (as you can see I don’t know how to do their hair so it is down today).’ 

Speaking further, he shared that his father too was admitted in a hospital, adding, “I simply wanted to express my admiration for the exceptional medical professionals here in the United Kingdom.

Last night, I was at the hospital with my ailing father. The staff there work around the clock and they’re simply extraordinary.”

This version maintains the original meaning while being more conversational and easy to understand.

He went on to say, ‘This weekend might turn out to be one of those… Nevertheless, we push forward. I love you all and wish you a fantastic Sunday. Come on, West Ham, lift my spirits this afternoon!’ 💖

In the evening, he posted a photo from a friend’s company at a beer garden and also provided news about his family’s well-being.

He penned: ‘My brave little boy Henry is now back home from his operation. 

I’ve had a chat with my father, who remains in the hospital. Despite being there, his condition has significantly improved compared to yesterday. In addition, it seems that West Ham has secured a 3-0 victory.

Right now, I’m enjoying a pint and reflecting on how challenging life can sometimes be. However, I’ve learned that things often change for the better. While I drink this pint, I want to wish you all a fantastic Sunday afternoon.

Oh, what a mess this place is! But the people here are simply charming. I appreciate all the warm messages you’ve sent, BOSH ❤️.

He continued by posting a picture, mentioning that while his wife was preparing a meal, the twins were entertaining themselves with their toys. Additionally, he and his son were enjoying a cozy moment together on the couch.

‘What a great turn of events on this Sunday afternoon. Love to you an your families. Bosh❤️⚒️’.

On Monday morning, he announced that he’s eager to dive back into Strictly dance rehearsals following an exhausting weekend.

Posting a picture of his breakfast, he captioned: “Fell asleep around 6:30 pm with my little one who was exhausted from surgery. Had a great rest and now ready to tackle the day head-on.

Today marks the beginning of September! May this fresh month usher in a multitude of opportunities, prosperity, joy, contentment, laughter, and fun like never before for you!

After wrapping up work, I have a commitment for “Strictly Come Dancing” filming later tonight, so it’s going to be a busy evening. Enjoy your day! This week has been fantastic, and I hope next month will bring new and exciting experiences. Here’s to a great September and a fresh start on Monday. Cheers! 🎉❤️

Thomas and wife Sinead are also parents to twin daughters Darla and Roma, two. 

Last month, Thomas was announced as the 10th celebrity taking part in this year’s Strictly. 

Despite his casting being met with controversy, it was announced that some “Strictly” viewers have threatened to stop watching the show due to his recent meeting with Vice President JD Vance and labeling him as a “polite gentleman.

Yet, instead of backing down, Thomas – who seemed both defiant and enthusiastic – countered the criticism, firmly stating that the accusations from the left were unjust.

In simpler terms, he clarified to The Daily Mail that he is not politically right-wing. He explained that people began labeling him as such due to attending a barbecue with JD Vance and posting a photo together, leading them to believe he shares similar political views.

Wouldn’t anyone jump at the chance to meet the world’s second most influential figure?” he remarked.

There are those who might dislike you without truly understanding you – and that’s alright. I hope they find peace in their lives.

‘Everyone is unique, and we all perceive life differently. If they need to vent their frustrations or negative feelings, I prefer they direct it towards me instead of spoiling someone else’s mood. I can handle it.’

Thomas, recognized as a social media sensation, shares widely-appreciated video clips of his regular morning meals at an eatery in East London, along with inspiring messages advocating for the benefits of perseverance and dedication.

He first found fame on The Apprentice in 2019, becoming a breakout star of the series. 

1. Lately, he’s been referred to as the most impactful political personality in Britain, and he’s earned accolades for his unabashed affection for England. (Paraphrased)

2. He’s recently been called the UK’s most significant political figure, and he’s admired for his overt fondness for England. (Alternative paraphrase)

He’s been predicted to potentially run for the position of Mayor of London following several tweets directed at his 411,000 followers, where he expressed criticism towards Sir Sadiq Khan and the current situation in London.
