Strictly’s Thomas Skinner issues cancer warning in | UK News

Strictly Come Dancing star  Thomas Skinner has shared a touching message to his skilled associate Amy Dowden who has bravely shared her battle with breast cancer. Thomas posted a throwback image of himself with pink nail polish from six years in the past, explaining how it was half of a marketing campaign to raise awareness for the lethal disease. He then linked the reminiscence to his current pairing with Amy, who just lately announced she is in remission, while issuing a warning of his own.

He told followers: “This picture just came up on my phone from 6 years ago when I painted my nails pink to help raise awareness for breast cancer. Now 6 years later I’m dancing on Strictly Come Dancing with my little Cancer warrior @amy_dowden who has battled breast cancer and helped raise awareness. She honestly is a living legend. Just a reminder to anyone; fellas can get it too. Make sure to check your breasts. Stay safe everyone and love you all. Bosh.”

Amy replied warmly in the feedback: “Thanks partner for all your support! These kind lovely words! Now let’s have a great time on Lorraine then work hard and have another day of fun in the dance studio xxx.”

Fans also praised The Apprentice star, with one writing: “Brilliant post, especially saying about men as so many are unaware they can get it.”

The post got here after a stormy weekend for Thomas, who confronted a tough reception following his debut on the dancefloor.

The businessman, who carried out a paso doble with Amy, scored just 12 factors from the judges, including only two from head decide Craig Revel Horwood. Viewers piled in on social media, with some branding him “one of the worst dancers” they’d seen.

In a prolonged assertion, Thomas accused the media of intentionally concentrating on him. He said: “The hate frenzy they’ve created towards me is insane. There is hardly any truth in the majority of the articles.

“Now I understand why people in the public eye just say and do what they’re told… because they’ll get buried if they don’t, just like they’re trying to do to me. I will always stand up for what is right.”

The 33-year-old insisted that a lot of what had been written about him was “massively exaggerated” or offered in a method designed to “make me look bad.”

He added: “In fact, all I’ve ever done is put into the UK economy, employ people, support local businesses, spread positivity, work bloody hard and try to make others believe in themselves by spreading love and positivity online.”

Despite the backlash, Thomas vowed to continue giving the show the whole lot he has: “I’m gonna keep on trying my best and I don’t care if people like it or not. I am proud of who I am and so grateful for all of you in my corner.”
