The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner confirms he's expecting identical twins with his wife

Thomas Skinner is expecting identical twins with his wife Sinéad.

The much-loved Apprentice star took to Twitter to announce the news that his son Henry, two, is about to become a big brother twice over.

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.

"When 3 becomes 5!!" he tweeted.

"I want to let everyone know that Sinéad & I are expecting identical TWINS!!!

"Little Henry is gonna be a BIG Brother!! Hit the target twice lads!! BOSH DOUBLE BOSH."

The 32-year-old revealed the lovely news on Friday alongside a snap of him and his wife, 32, holding an ultrasound scan.

Sinéad and Thomas welcomed Henry in 2020 and have been together for over five years.

They tied the knot in May last year with a stunning ceremony.

The newlyweds haven't given away any clues as to how far into the pregnancy they are, but Sinéad already has a lovely blossoming bump.

The expectant mum wore a figure-hugging black ribbed midi dress which she paired with heeled ankle boots for the pregnancy reveal snap.

While she cradled her bump, grinning Thomas held little Henry in his arms.

The soon-to-be dad-of-three wore a pair of dark wash jeans with a black polo shirt and a flat cap hat for the family photo.

Sinéad will no doubt be hoping for a much more relaxed birth this time around after suffering a traumatic labour while welcoming Henry at Basildon Hospital.

The entrepreneur previously opened up about the sheer "panic" he felt when his crying then-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 2020, just months after they shared they had a baby on the way.

Thomas was propelled into the limelight on 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.
