Amanda Abbington launches into a sweary outburst during her first show since her controversial Strictly exit as she jokingly tells a fan to 'f**k off'
The Sherlock star, 52, quit the BBC show mid-series last year due to 'personal reasons' amid claims of a feud between her and her professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice .
But despite being hit with fresh allegations that he left a fourth celebrity in tears, MailOnline revealed the BBC were backing Giovanni 'all the way' and he would return to the show later this year after the broadcaster offered him a new contract. In fact, one source described the claims as a 'nasty witch hunt', which could not just have ended his Strictly TV career but endangered his place on the international ballroom dancing circuit generally. Three weeks ago, the row erupted once again after the Sun reported that Amanda had met Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh and television presenter Laura Whitmore - who were both former Strictly partners of Giovanni - to discuss their own 'difficult' experiences working with him.
