Thomas Skinner has admitted that he cheated on his wife Sinead just weeks after their wedding when a ‘moment of madness’ saw him almost ‘ruin his life.’
The former Apprentice star, 34, who is set to star on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, said it was the ‘biggest mistake’ of his life.
The couple, who share a son Henry, five, and two-year-old twin daughters, Roma and Darla, married in May 2022.
Speaking candidly about the ‘fling’ for the first time, Thomas told of how he met the woman in a pub before taking her up on an offer of some free cosmetic treatments.
The TV personality went on to reveal he had a ‘two week thing’ with the beauty clinic boss and was ‘fortunate’ that Sinead forgave him.
He told The Sun: ‘I had a fling. It was nothing more than that. It was the one time, it was a mistake. I woke up feeling absolutely terrible about it.’

Thomas continued: ‘I felt so guilty. I told my wife. I let her down in that brief moment of madness where I wasn’t thinking, where I didn’t appreciate what I had.’
‘When I told my wife, I fully understood if she was to never speak to me again. No one else made me do what I’ve done. But it just shows something so brief could ruin your life.’
Thomas, who has become known for his social media videos and ‘Bosh’ catchphrase, met Sinead in a bar in London back in 2018.
He announced he had proposed to her in July 2020, just three months after the couple revealed they were expecting their first child.
It comes after Thomas brushed off his meltdown and got his dancing shoes on days before his Strictly Come Dancing debut, in an Instagram video on Friday.
The former Apprentice star left journalists shocked on Tuesday when he abruptly left a press call after snatching a reporter’s phone.
Addressing the scandal himself, Thomas took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a statement in which he apologised to the journalist and admitted he was working to ‘move past difficult moments in his past’.
The Daily Mail also told how the BBC was standing by Thomas and he would remain on the show, which launches on September 20.
Trying to steer away from the controversy, Thomas slipped into a glittering purple suit and showed off his moves in a video to promote the upcoming show.
He wrote: ‘Absolutely LOVING being part of strictly had so much fun so far and everyone is absolutely amazing!! Now let’s start dancing!! Bosh❤️’

Thomas revealed how bosses at the broadcaster are paying him just £10,000 to appear on this year’s series.
He simply said: ‘I’m getting ten grand for Strictly but seriously, I’d do it for a tenner.’
In an interview with The Times, the dad-of-three called it an ‘honour’ to appear on the dance floor.
