Thomas Skinner will miss the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing final group dance due to a prior commitment; his partner Amy Dowden will perform with the other professionals.

  • This coming Saturday night, Thomas Skinner will not take part in the Class of 2025 group dance as the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 final airs on BBC One.

  • After his exit, Thomas Skinner, Apprentice star, was criticized for off-stage antics including a selfie with JD Vance and a failed 50,000 Covid bounce back loan, reports The Mirror.
  • Amy Dowden, professional dancer, will still join the Class of 2025 group dance on Saturday alongside other celebrities and professionals, despite Skinner's absence.
  • The December 20 final will see George Clarke and Alexis Warr, Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, and Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin compete for the Glitterball trophy, revisiting past routines and performing showdances.
