It was an absolute joy working with my fellow contestants, they are a beautiful, hardworking and talented group of people who I love and who I will miss seeing every Friday and Saturday and competing alongside.
The 49-year-old actress pulled out of the live show on Saturday night 'due to medical reasons.' It was announced that she could “return the following week” alongside her professional partner Giovanni Pernice according to protocols of the show. Her professional partner Giovanni last night shared his reaction to the news on social media. Posting on his Instagram page alongside a picture of them in their pyjamas with his arms around her waist, he said: "I am so sad we can’t continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love ♥️ @amanda_abbington74 @bbcstrictly."
