Amanda Abbington breaks silence after BBC Strictly final 'snub' amid Giovanni 'feud'
ok.co.ukAfter it was announced that she won't be attending the Strictly Come Dancing final, Amanda Abbington has now broken her silence and shared a message to the finalists.
The actress, 51, was part of this year's Strictly line-up but she pulled out of the competition for "personal reasons" in October, just weeks after making her debut on the dance floor with partner Giovanni Pernice.
It's since been revealed that Amanda won't be present at the Strictly grand finale on Saturday, 16 December, with no reason yet given for her absence.
