Thomas Skinner says he wasn’t ‘good enough’ for Strictly

Thomas Skinner and his professional dance partner Amy Dowden were the first couple to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday evening. The pair failed to win over the judges with their salsa to “Bonkers” by Dizzee Rascal and Armand van Helden. Skinner, a social media star, admitted he was “good enough” for the show and moves “like a fridge”, despite having a laugh. Judge Craig Revel Horwood criticised his performance, saying it looked like a “weightlifting competition in Skegness”. Dowden praised Skinner's hard work and development, noting he had fallen in love with dancing during their partnership.
