Star of The Apprentice Thomas Skinner is set to tie the knot in sweet weekend ceremony

Former star of The Apprentice, Thomas Skinner, is finally set to tie the knot this week with the "love of his life".

It was back in 2020 that the reality TV star, and business owner, revealed that he'd popped the question and his partner, Sinéad, had said yes.

The smooth talker, who was renowned for his charming salesmanship when he appeared back on the hit BBC show back in 2019, announced the news on Twitter two years ago.

Sinéad was pregnant at the time, and he posted a cute snap of them looking all dolled up, and holding hands, as he wrote: "MY MUMMY TO BE SAID YES!!"

Now the pair are set to finally tie the knot as he posted a video of himself on Twitter ahead of the big day, and the father can't contain his excitement.

He told fans on Friday: "Good morning you lovely people. I'm in my Lakeside store today.

"We're in here all day today - a nice and busy Friday - come down, come down and see us.

"I'm getting married in the morning. I've still got to go and buy a shirt - still got a few things to sort out.

"I'm getting married tomorrow. I can't believe it."

Thomas and Sinéad welcomed their son Henry in November 2020.

The entrepreneur previously opened up about the sheer "panic" he felt when his crying fiancée told him their baby's heart rate dropped during induced labour.

Thomas wasn't allowed to go into the hospital because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Henry's heart rate went back up but Sinead was kept in overnight before she went into labour.

Thomas told OK! magazine of the experience: "It was well scary. Sinead rang me up crying, and I couldn’t do anything to help. It was the day before lockdown, I couldn’t even go to the hospital.

"I just panicked so much. I kept telling her it was gonna be fine, but I was proper scared. But the team that looked after her, the midwives and the doctors, were fantastic."

Sinead added: "Because of Covid-19 Tom couldn’t come and stay with me until I was on the actual labour ward, so I had to spend that first night on my own. When I heard Henry was in distress, I got really scared."

Their love story has blossomed during Thomas' time in the spotlight.

The couple got engaged in July, just months after they shared they had a baby on the way.

Thomas was propelled into the limelight on the last series of The Apprentice.

Quickly he become a fan favourite with his slick smooth-talking charm.

However, he didn't make the cut as Alan Sugar's business partner.

The businessman branched out into other TV shows when he starred on Celebrity Masterchef in 2020.
