After being away from the public eye for nearly a year, Sky Sports presenter Tom White has finally broken his silence.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, he revealed that the past year has been one of the most challenging periods of his life—but now, he’s looking forward to brighter days with his family by his side.
“We’ve Been Through Hell” – Tom Shares Emotional Message
Tom, who’s been a familiar face on Sky Sports News since 2013, took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a touching message alongside a photo of himself, his wife Natasha, and their son.
In the caption, he opened up about the emotional toll of the past year, writing, “It’s been a difficult year.
My family and I have been through hell. But it’s finally all over.”
He added that while the trauma they endured will always be a part of them, they’re finally ready to embrace happier times.
“The trauma will never leave us, but we’re excited for happier times. Starting now!” he wrote, finishing the message with a heart emoji.
Praising His Wife and Son for Their Unwavering Support
In the same post, Tom didn’t hold back in expressing his love and gratitude for his wife and child. “As for my wife, she kept me going.
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her and my amazing son,” he shared, getting emotional as he described how much their support meant to him.
He even joked that Natasha “hates this picture,” but added that their smiles made it worth sharing because “it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to do that.”
Sky Sports Colleagues Show Their Support
The post quickly received warm responses from his Sky Sports family, including colleagues like Pete Graves and Rachel Brookes, who shared heart emojis to show their love and support for Tom during his comeback.
Tom had been a regular on various Sky Sports News segments, from Through the Night to The Transfer Show, Deadline Day, and Good Morning Sports Fans.
His last appearance on air was in early 2024, and since then, his absence had raised quiet concern among fans.
Sky Sports never officially explained his time away.
A Return to Social Media After Long Silence
This Instagram update marks Tom’s return to social media after an extended break.
Last year, he deactivated his Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts, retreating from the spotlight entirely while going through his personal battles.
His post with Natasha is also the first since the couple got married in December 2022.
Sky Sports Faces Major Restructuring Behind the Scenes
Tom’s update also comes at a time when Sky Sports itself is undergoing major internal changes.
Mail Sport recently reported that the network is preparing to let go of several well-known presenters and reporters as part of a structural shake-up.
Employees were reportedly informed of the news during a meeting at Sky’s London headquarters.
Although Sky insists this is not a cost-cutting move, the restructuring is aimed at making the sports news team “more agile and better equipped” for today’s fast-changing media landscape.
What This Means for Tom White’s Future at Sky
It’s still unclear whether Tom White is directly affected by the upcoming redundancies.
Sky Sports has not commented on his employment status.
Insiders say the focus of the changes is to adapt to shifting audience habits—moving toward more flexibility, faster reporting, and stronger integration across TV, digital, and social platforms.
A spokesperson for the channel confirmed: “A small number of roles are impacted, and we are now entering a period of consultation with those colleagues.”
Looking Ahead to Brighter Days
Whether or not he returns to our screens, Tom White’s update reminds us that life behind the scenes can be more complex than what we see on air.
His courage in sharing a difficult chapter of his life—and the love he has for his family—is a powerful reminder of the human side of fame.
For now, Tom is simply enjoying being back with his loved ones and, hopefully, stepping into a much brighter chapter.
