Thomas Skinner has shared the first photos of his fourth child with wife Sinéad after welcoming the newborn this weekend.
Posting a family selfie from Sinéad’s hospital room, The Apprentice star, 35, wrote: ‘Today at 5:51pm, our little bundle of joy arrived weighing a healthy 7lb 13oz, and honestly, we couldn’t feel more blessed.’
Describing his wife, 34, as ‘incredible’ and ‘amazing’ he added: ‘I am so proud of you. Watching you bring our baby into the world was the most beautiful thing, and I love you more than words can ever say.’
The former Strictly star went on to thank ‘fantastic’ midwives Jo and Sarah, before remarking that Sinéad is ‘doing brilliantly, baby is doing well, and my heart is fuller than ever before.
‘Henry, Roma and Darla can’t wait to meet you, little one. You’ve already got the best big brother and sisters waiting for you. Our family is complete. Four beautiful children, one very proud dad, and a whole lot of love.’

He finished: ‘Welcome to the world, little one. We love you endlessly. BOSH.’
Sinéad shared hubby Tom’s post to her own Instagram grid, where well-wishers flooded to offer their congratulations.
This included Great British Bake Off star Andy Ryan, who wrote: ‘Congratulations to you both. Good health.’
While they haven’t yet announced the baby’s name or gender, they’ll join five-year-old son Henry, and twin daughters Roma and Darla, three, in the family’s growing brood.
Thomas and Sinéad married in 2022, having welcomed their first child together two year prior.
He announced the news of their fourth child on his 35th birthday, writing on Instagram: ‘It’s my birthday today… and I’ve got the greatest present in the world.
‘Baby number 4 is on the way.
‘I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more. Our little family of five is about to become 6!! I am so blessed and grateful! Better start looking for a bigger car.
‘Can’t wait to meet you, Baby Skinner. Best birthday ever. Mummy, Daddy and Your big brother and sisters are going to love you so so much. Bosh.’
The Skinners’ baby news comes less than a year after he became the first celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly 2025.
It marked an ignominious end to his brief run on the BBC competition – soon after he sparked headlines by acting out at a press conference, grabbing a journalist’s phone.
At the same time, the TV personality and Reform UK member also faced backlash for recent comments in which he’d admitted to cheating on his wife… weeks after their 2022 wedding.
Speaking to The Sun in October, Sinéad revealed that she’d kicked him out of the house after he confessed to his infidelity.
‘When he first told me what had happened I made him leave. I was devastated. I will never forget Thomas telling me. I remember thinking, “I never thought this would happen to me”,’ she said.
However, the pair managed to work out their differences, reconciling their marriage and subsequently welcoming their twin daughters together.
‘He made a mistake. It was a tough time. One of his friends had just died. It was four years ago. Now we are stronger than ever,’ she added.
He continued to kick up a fuss even after leaving the competition, claiming that the results of the first public vote had been a ‘fix,’ unfairly eliminating him from the show.
However, a subsequent poll revealed that he’d been the least popular contestant on that year’s show, in spite of his claims.
He found himself at the heart of controversy after another BBC appearance this year, with his highly talked-about guest slot on Question Time.
Here he clashed with host Fiona Bruce, who branded him ‘part of the problem’ when he attempted to condemn online negativity.
‘I try and spread a bit of positivity and a bit of love, do you know what I mean?’ he’d said, hitting back against those who’d label him a ‘gammon’ online.
He later claimed that he’d earned £2000 for his participation in the show – a figure which the BBC denied.
‘Question Time offers a fee of £150 to panellists who aren’t politicians,’ a spokesperson told Metro at the time.
