Tom Skinner
Tom Skinner is a grafter. Born and bred in Romford, he’s spent a lifetime on market stalls and has always had an eye for opportunity.
Tom first hit our screens as the standout contestant on series 15 of ‘The Apprentice’ and has gone on to appear on a variety of shows including ‘Celebrity MasterChef’, ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’, ‘The Wheel’ and ‘Michael McIntyre’s Big Show’. 2025 has seen Tom announced as part of Strictly Come Dancing, trading market stalls to mirror balls!
His motivational social media videos have become hugely popular, and he went on to release his debut book ‘Graft – How to Smash Life’ in 2024 (Harper Collins), in which Tom shares his story and the escapades he’s found himself involved in while trying to make a quick buck. He also reveals how to make your own luck using the simple mantras he abides by and how to bounce back off the ropes when it feels like you’re down and out.
Tom launched his YouTube series ‘Tom Skinner’s Golf Club’, inviting famous faces around his local course, if you thought golf was all about posh blokes in fancy jumpers, think again! This is golf… but Tom Skinner style. Expect absolute carnage on the course, special guests who probably shouldn’t be anywhere near a golf club, and plenty of banter!
Tom has worked with brands including Malibu, Sainsbury’s, EasyJet, giffgaff and Halfords.
