Thomas Skinner first contestant eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing

Sometimes, the British public can be trusted with a vote

Former Apprentice contestant Thomas Skinner has been the first contestant voted off Strictly Come Dancing.

Yes, it seems as if the British public have made their feelings towards the bolognese-for-breakfast, JD Vance-admiring, reality-TV darling turned social media provocateur perfectly clear.

Skinner was sent packing after the first public vote, having scored a remarkable 13 for their salsa on Saturday night’s episode.

Skinner and his partner Amy Dowden finished in the bottom two, meaning they were in a dance-off against England rugby star Chris Robshaw and his partner Nadiya Bychkova.

And the judges unanimously decided to save Robshaw.

Skinner had been a controversial booking for this year’s series of Strictly, having become a divisive figure thanks to his social media antics.

Some of his posts not-so-subtly praise the populist politics of Farage and Trump, with Skinner using the guise of patriotism and working-class act – for the record, he went to private school – to push divisive messages.

And in the lead-up to Strictly starting, it emerged he had cheated on his wife shortly after getting married.

Overall then, if Skinner was hoping to endear himself further to the British public – beyond the right-wing, blue-tick, echo chamber he’s built for himself on X – it looks like a undeniable failure.

Bosh!
