Strictly Come Dancing star Thomas Skinner has reportedly grumbled about not earning as much cash as other celebrities for television appearances and advertisement work.

The contentious star, 34, shot to prominence on The Apprentice in 2019 and failed to win Lord Alan Sugar’s backing, resulting in his dismissal following the ninth challenge.

The bedding and mattress business proprietor has sparked considerable controversy after his announcement for this year’s Strictly alongside personalities such as Vicky Pattison and Love Island winner Dani Dyer due to his vocal political stance, including his backing of Donald Trump and championing the concept of national pride.

Thomas has now allegedly voiced his frustration about how fellow celebrities possess “loads of money” in comparison to him, whilst he continues working.

In a now-removed tweet spotted by The Sun, he wrote: “How do all these celebrities have loads of money? You don’t get bundles of dough for TV or adverts etc (well I don’t)….”, reports Wales Online.

“But I look on Instagram and they’re always in this gaff or posting in a new motor.

“I finished me Strictly stuff earlier today and I’m now out in me van delivering mattresses.

“Do I need to be part of a special club now on the tele that’s gives ya unlimited monies.”

Devon Live has contacted Thomas’ representatives for comment.

The father-of-three has previously used social media to respond to the criticism surrounding his Strictly participation.

He said, “They say don’t read the comments on social media. But I couldn’t help myself.

“I’ve had absolute pellets all day on my Instagram lost about going on strictly… Have a look at some of these on Instagram …. Why are some people so angry that don’t even know me.”

He also previously told the Mail, defending a picture with JD Vance, “I’m not right-wing.

“People are like sheep and just started saying it because I got invited to go to bbq with JD Vance and I posted a picture with him. Who is gonna turn down an opportunity to meet the 2nd most powerful man in the world?”

He added: “Some people will hate you without ever really knowing you – and that’s okay. I wish them well. We’re all different, and not everyone will see life the same way.

“If their anger or bitterness has to go somewhere, I’d rather they throw it at me than ruin someone else’s day. I can take it.”

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and iPlayer next month.
