Strictly’s Thomas Skinner WILL remain on show despite being branded a ‘bully’ after he stormed out of press launch amid a series of BBC scandals

by

Despite his dramatic exit during Tuesday’s press launch, it appears that Thomas Skinner from Strictly Come Dancing will continue to be a part of the show.

It was reported by The Daily Mail that leaders of the BBC dance series had emergency meetings regarding the market trader’s position, due to his actions during the media day. At this event, he is said to have taken a female journalist’s phone and left after completing only two promotional interviews, walking out abruptly.

Upon being questioned by a journalist about his participation in Strictly this year, Thomas, aged 34, remained silent and unexpectedly grabbed her phone, seemingly annoyed that the conversation was being documented.

As a devoted supporter, I can say that it’s been reported that my actions may have sparked worries about my behavior. The leaders of Strictly, who are keen on steering clear of any more controversies after the recent scandals during their previous series, have requested a comprehensive explanation regarding my sudden departure.

The Strictly team couldn’t find him at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, the venue for the press conference.

This year, it has been verified by the Daily Mail that Thomas will still be included in the cast for Strictly Come Dancing, contrary to whispers suggesting he was struggling during Tuesday’s press event.

Thomas’s buddy, media analyst Adam Brooks from GB News, clarified that the ex-Apprentice contestant wasn’t kicked out of the program.

Writing on X on Tuesday night, Adam said: ‘I spoke to him an hour ago and he’s still on the show.’

Tom has been working hard over the last few weeks to prepare himself for the upcoming dance series, a program that he mentions is particularly beloved by his mom.

The celebrity from reality TV emphasizes that his actions are aimed at entertaining the “ordinary fathers who enjoy a beer and a kebab, with a bit of a paunch.

Prior to gaining fame in 2011, Tom encountered legal issues involving the police over accusations of dealing with stolen items.

As a self-proclaimed wellness advocate, I found myself in an unexpected situation – facing charges for mismanaging approximately 4,992 tubes of Body Shop’s renowned cleansing gels, valued at nearly £40,000, and possessing around 2,000 diazepam tablets. Needless to say, it was a learning experience that I wish I could have avoided.

In February, he raised the topic of his previous minor offenses, following online harassment from trolls, after being involved in a robbery observation at a Greggs.

Instead of criticizing others for theft while donning luxury attire and expressing confusion over the nation’s state, he found himself labeled as hypocritical by social media users, who were quick to recall his own questionable history.

‘I can’t believe some people are criticizing me on Twitter for mentioning that Greggs was robbed while I was there. To add insult to injury, they even brought up my past. Yes, I have been arrested several times in the past and have served time for my crimes. I wrote a book detailing those experiences.’

During his youth, he didn’t have a personal bedroom and instead slept on a fold-down bed that was placed on the floor.

Despite starting with nothing and never receiving any help directly, I managed to change my life for the better. Now, I visit educational institutions like schools, colleges, and universities, sharing my experiences in the hopes that they will inspire others.

In a different voice, he stated, “I’m not claiming to be a hero, but rather a diligent worker who has certainly made his fair share of errors, as most people have at some point. Now, I strive to promote optimism. You see, when I was younger, I faced a stabbing due to my past actions. This experience is why I’m involved in my knife crime prevention campaign at the gym.

It’s crucial for us to step out and witness the issues our nation faces firsthand. By uniting, we have the power to address and solve these problems effectively. Let’s make it happen!
