Thomas Skinner Walks Out Of Strictly Come Dancing Press Launch

Thomas Skinner on Good Morning Britain last yearThomas Skinner has brought yet more drama to Strictly Come Dancing’s door following an incident at the press launch for this year’s series.On Tuesday, he and his future Strictly co-stars took part in a day of round-table interviews to promote the new season, where pairs of contestants sat down with an array of journalists to answer questions.However, Thomas – whose casting has already proved to be a divisive one – was reported to have stormed out of the event early.Per The Sun, Thomas reacted badly when one reporter asked him: “What made you say yes to this amazing opportunity?”After spotting the device being used to record his interview, he reportedly grabbed it and asked: “What’s that?”The Mirror claimed he then insisted he was “not doing this”, at which point he then left the room full of journalists, and did not return.View this post on InstagramA post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly)HuffPost UK has contacted the BBC for comment.Thomas first made a name for himself on the 15th season of The Apprentice, where he was eliminated ninth, but was famously given a rare “keep in touch” from Alan Sugar as he made his way out of the boardroom.In the years since, Thomas has appeared on shows like Celebrity MasterChef and The Wheel, and has become a regular face on the likes of Good Morning Britain, TalkSport and GB News.He has also become a somewhat controversial figure after complaining that London doesn’t “feel like London” anymore, criticising protestors on X and posing for a picture with Donald Trump’s vice president JD Vance.Thomas has previously hit back at suggestions that he is “racist”, “far-right” or even “political” at all, having also voiced his support for Trump in the lead-up to last year’s election, calling him “brilliant”.On Tuesday night, The Sun published an additional piece claiming that Strictly bosses were holding “crisis meetings” about Thomas’ future on the show in light of the latest headlines.Strictly Come Dancing is due to return to our screens later this month.MORE STRICTLY:The Cast Of Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Is Now Complete – Here Are All The Stars On The Line-UpStrictly Come Dancing Unveils New Celebrity Contestant As Kristian Nairn Is Forced To QuitStrictly Come Dancing Favourite Explains Why He Won't Have A Celebrity Partner On 2025 Series
