Amanda Abbington takes a social media break amid Giovanni Pernice feud as Strictly bosses give 'their full support to pro dancer after emergency meeting'


The actress, 51, appears to be taking a social media break amid her feud with Strictly professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.

It has TV chiefs fearful future contestants will refuse to work with the dancer, who has previously garnered negative feedback from former partners including Laura Whitmore, 38, Ranvir Singh, 46, and Richie Anderson, 36. Giovanni is one of Strictly's most high-profile dancers and an emerging BBC light-entertainment face courtesy of his travel series with judge Anton Du Beke, 57, which could leave bosses with a problem. His Strictly highlight was undoubtedly winning the 2021 series with deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, 29, earning praise and a BAFTA TV Award for their silent dance to Symphony.
