Amanda Abbington reveals she was 'sent death threats' after announcing she had been 'diagnosed with mild PTSD' following her Strictly stint


The actress, 51, was paired with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice , but quit the BBC One programme mid-series last year citing 'personal issues'.

Amanda continued: 'I’m very sorry that people felt the need to send me death threats, threaten my children and bring up my past, healthy relationship with an ex-partner as an ­indicator of my current mental health. The pal added that Amanda found the negative response she got on social media for not mentioning Giovanni in her exit statement difficult, but insisted her family and friends had been there to support her.
