Amy Dowden appeared less than impressed with new Strictly Come Dancing partner Thomas Skinner‘s choice of food preparation for Saturday night’s launch show.

The professional dancer and former Apprentice star have been paired together for the 2025 series and appeared on Saturday’s episode (20 September) of the show to discuss their partnership with host Claudia Winkleman.
