Thomas Skinner has shared the first photographs of his fourth child with wife Sinéad Chambers, following the baby's arrival this weekend. The Apprentice star, 35, posted a family selfie from Sinéad's hospital room on Instagram, announcing the birth at 5:51pm on June 27, 2026. The newborn weighed 7lb 13oz, according to Skinner's post.

In the caption, Skinner described his wife, 34, as 'incredible' and 'amazing', writing: '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.' He also thanked midwives Jo and Sarah for their 'fantastic' support, noting that Sinéad is 'doing brilliantly, baby is doing well, and my heart is fuller than ever before.'

Skinner addressed his other children, saying: '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.

Baby news follows Strictly 2025 controversy

The Skinners' baby news arrives less than a year after Thomas Skinner became the first celebrity eliminated from Strictly 2025. His brief run on the BBC competition ended ignominiously, soon after he sparked headlines by acting out at a press conference and grabbing a journalist's phone. He had also faced backlash for recent comments admitting to cheating on his wife, weeks after their 2022 wedding.

Following his elimination, Skinner claimed the results of the first public vote had been a 'fix', unfairly removing him from the show. However, a subsequent poll indicated he had been the least popular contestant on that year's show, despite his allegations.

Family focus amid public scrutiny

Despite the controversies, Skinner's latest social media post focuses on family joy. The couple now have four children: Henry, Roma, Darla, and the newborn. Skinner expressed that his 'heart is fuller than ever before' and that the family is 'complete'. The post has garnered attention from fans and media, highlighting a personal milestone for the reality TV personality.
