@iamtomskinner Bitter much

As most of you will have seen in the papers, I won’t be at the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight. First thing I wanna say is this…. I spoke with my lovely dance partner, Amy Dowden to make sure she was okay with me not attending. She’s a good person and a good friend now, I’d never let her down. When I got given the opportunity to do Strictly back in April, I was buzzing. Not because I can dance…. I can’t. But because i really wanted to test myself and Learn something completely out of my comfort zone. On the night I left the show, I received an anonymous email claiming to be from a BBC exec with stats, saying I’d received far more votes than it appeared and it wasn’t right. I’ve since had the email independently verified. That same email mentioned the BBC was very angry an nervous simply because I had met JD Vance (USA VICE PRESIDENT). Let me be clear, I’m not a political bloke. Never have been. I just love my country and am patriotic. I’ve been made out by the press to be this political figure. If anyone was to get an opportunity like what I did, they would have taken it. I still think it is mad that a man like me who sells mattresses out of a van can call someone that senior in the world’s politics a friend now. I have asked to see the official voting figures to back up the ones I was sent in the email but was told they couldn’t be shown to me. And have never been shown in the history of the show. I have spoke about the email I had received to senior people and the BBC welfare team, who btw I genuinely respect. And they was the ones who advised me to get legal advice because of how unfair it all was. (This was not my idea) There were also smaller things that added to the feeling. Everyone received a welcome gift on the show….. skincare bits, face masks, that sort of thing. Mine was the only one that “Got Stolen” apparently. On its own, it’s nothing…. but added to everything else, it felt strange. I have been made out to be someone I actually am not simply because I took part in this show. The views were formed from media stories over the summer that simply wasn’t true or exaggerated. It ain’t fair what has happened to me and my family. I also want to say this carefully. After receiving this information and having it verified, a very senior BBC figure has since resigned. I’m not saying that had anything to do with me, but it did feel bizarre. Also the main hosts stepped down the following week. Again, I’m not saying it has anything to do with me. It’s just all very coincidental. I’m just being honest. I didn’t want any of this in the press either. A lot of what’s been written has been exaggerated or untrue about me and I’ve found it hard to take in over the past few months. This is my life, and it’s not nice what has been said about me if I’m honest. What I do find strange is that after a private Zoom call with BBC executives on Wednesday night about going forward, this was national news by Thursday morning. That tells me there’s been a leak. Because it ain’t come from me to be in the press. (It might be from the same person who sent me the email🤔) …..I didn’t want this to be national news, in fact I didn’t want any of this. But now I’m writing a statement so people know the truth as to why I’m not attending, I don’t want people thinking I am bitter when I ain’t. I don’t want more stories being wrote that ain’t true. I’m not kicking off for attention. I’m not saying I should’ve won either. I was rubbish at dancing😂 we all know that. But love me or hate me you do have to appreciate the massive following I have, I can’t even walk into the local Tesco without getting stopped for selfies. I just believe in fairness and respect. I wish every dancer tonight the very best. They’ve worked their socks off and they deserve their moment. As for me I’ve got fish to sell on my stall and a family I love more than anything. Thank you for the love as Always. Bosh❤️

@KCOMhome Absolutely Useless company - your have a nice day message is infuriating our day might be nicer if anything actually worked or the company did what they were supposed to do.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree please RT this FACT CHECK widely

@hispanisthull Very sad news have had some lovely meals here and the book is gorgeous.

It is with great sadness that we inform you that the bell has now tolled for The Hispanist. It’s been an incredibly difficult 5 years, pretty much the worst 5 years to own and run a restaurant in the history of owning and running restaurants, but this last year has been the hardest of them all. I could list the numerous reasons that have lead to our closure, from increased costs to being taxed into submission and many more, but I’m sure you’re all aware of them. Due to the upcoming budget hospitality, again, expected to charge you all more, at a time when people have even less. There is nothing hospitable about that. More than any of those reasons, the toll it has taken on me both physically and mentally, as well as on my family have become too much to bear. It’s been a dream come true to own a restaurant and serve the food I love to my fellow Hull folk and to the people that came from far and wide. The fact we released a cookbook still blows my mind. However difficult it has been it has been a period of my life I’m glad of. I’ll be forever grateful to the people that supported us and to all of my teams that worked so hard to help us achieve everything we did. The Hispanist has been an immense learning curve that I will carry into my next venture, whatever that may be. I’m not sad that it’s over, I’m happy that it happened. I’m happy I can look at myself in the mirror and say “I tried”. For now, it’s time regather my long-lost marbles and spend some much needed time with my family, and maybe pop-up here and there… I’ll leave you with a quote by my musical hero: I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring… ⚡️ See you all in the next chapter. Nick - The Hispanist

@loosewomen get your facts right flu vaccines do NOT ‘bring on’ or cause flu!!

Well that was excruciating #maskedsingeruk what an embarrassment she was !

We, alongside 99 organisations working to end domestic abuse and all VAWG, have written to @jessphillips MP after the misogynistic & far right attacks we’ve seen against her in the last week. We stand in solidarity with Jess, just as she has stood with countless women & children.

This is Jess Philips. Do you know who should really be ashamed? @RobertJenrick who was Home Office minister Oct 2022 to Dec 2023 and is capitalising on far right lies. The Tories for allocating child sex abuse victims £40 each and Elon Musk for being a dangerous ignorant moron.

@chrismccausland Really enjoyed it !!

On Sky and NOW TV with an entertainment pass. #BadTidings 👍🏻

@FlynnMarina I was out in November!!!!

Whamageddon-I'm out
