Mr Skinner found fame after starring in the 2019 series of BBC's The Apprentice, but has since gone on to carve a career with his interest in politics.

His views often prompt debate online and made some BBC Strictly viewers wary about his signing up to the show last year, where he was partnered with Amy Dowden.

Just last month, Mr Skinner sent social media into overdrive after officially joining Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

He had publicly endorsed Mr Farage in the past, but on January 20, he went one step further and joined the party.

Mr Farage broke the news on social media, posing for a snap alongside the businessman as the pair shot a thumbs-up to their followers.

The Reform UK leader simply captioned the snap with Mr Skinner's signature catchphrase: "Bosh! @iamtomskinner."

Mr Skinner has been married to wife Sinead since 2022, and the couple share three children: Henry, five, and twin daughters Roma and Darla, two.
