Thomas Skinner and his wife Sinéad are expecting identical twins.
The 32-year-old Apprentice star revealed the happy news via his social media on Friday, sharing a sweet snap as he and his wife, 32, held up their ultrasound scan.
“When 3 becomes 5,” the businessman wrote alongside the picture of him holding son Henry in both arms, whom the couple welcomed in 2020.
Sinéad and Thomas have been together for over five years and tied the knot with a stunning ceremony in May 2022.
Though the couple won’t reveal how far along they are in their pregnancy, the mom-to-be already has a pretty blossoming belly.
‘When 3 becomes 5’: Apprentice star Tom Skinner announced he’s expecting twins with his wife Sinéad on Friday
Wearing a form-fitting black ribbed midi dress with matching heeled ankle boots, Sinéad cradled her stomach with one hand while holding up the scan with the other.
While a beaming Thomas dressed in dark wash jeans with a black polo shirt and flat cap and held his son Henry in his arms.
He wrote: “When 3 becomes 5!! I want everyone to know that Sinéad and I are expecting identical TWINS!!! Little Henry is going to be a BIG brother!! Hit the target twice guys!! BOSH ❤️DOUBLE BOSH’❤️❤️.
The couple have been together for over five years, with Sinéad staying away from the public eye as she keeps private on social media.
She’s no doubt hoping for a more relaxed birth this time, after a stressful time welcoming her first child, two-year-old Henry, to Basildon Hospital.
Because the little one arrived two weeks late, his heart rate dropped more than once during an induced labor, meaning Sinéad didn’t get the epidural she wanted.
Exchange of experiences with OK! At the time, she explained: “Yes, that was it [scary]! And because of Covid-19, Tom couldn’t come and stay with me until I was in the actual maternity ward, so I had to spend that first night alone. When I heard Henry was in distress, I got really scared.”
While Thomas, who described it as “like watching my favorite pub burn down,” added, “It was really scary. Sinead called me crying and there was nothing I could do to help him. It was the day before lockdown, I couldn’t even go to the hospital.

“I just panicked so much. I kept telling her it would be fine, but I was really scared. But the team that took care of her, the midwives and the doctors were fantastic.”
But the family of three has survived the period alive and well and is enjoying parenthood at this time.
News of the twins is perfect for Thomas, who previously confirmed he wanted a “soccer team” of kids as his wife shared her hopes for a baby girl.
Thomas rose to fame after appearing in series 15 in 2019 and making it to week 9 of the trial despite being on the losing team for almost every week of the series.
Since appearing on the show, Thomas has appeared on shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats and Celebrity MasterChef, and has been tipped to appear on the next series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
The businessman has also garnered a large Twitter and Instagram following – left behind by his large and unusual breakfast at Dino’s Cafe in New Spitalfields Market.
His unusual early-morning feasts included a shepherd’s pie, carbonara, and a full Christmas dinner.
