Strictly Come Dancing star Amanda Abbington, who was partnered with Giovanni Pernice this year, has quit the show after a 'fall out' with the Italian star
Strictly Come Dancing has lost another star from this year's series, after actress Amanda Abbington quit the series.
She announced on Friday's show, 20 October: "We have some breaking news. Unfortunately due to medical reasons, Amanda will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend. Strictly Come Dancing protocols mean that all being well, Amanda and Giovanni will return the following week. Amanda we hope you get well soon my love, sending you all the best wishes!"
While many celebs dream of being paired with Strictly pro Giovanni, his partnerships since he joined the BBC dance show in 2015 haven't always been smooth sailing. Before this year's show started, there were reports that he was already clashing with Amanda. She was reportedly unhappy with Giovanni's "strict and aggressive style and attitude" during their training sessions and had even thought about quitting the competition before the first live show.
On Saturday morning, Amanda shared a touching message on Instagram as Giovanni prepared to dance solo on the live show. She broke her silence with a post from @positiveminds011, featuring a picture of the late actor Robin Williams and the words: "People don't fake depression... they fake being okay. Remember that. Be kind."
