AMANDA PLATELL: I've been Amanda Abbington's harshest critic, but this is why I FINALLY feel sorry for her


It's a picture that would break any ex-wife's heart - a picture that finally made me feel sorry for Amanda Abbington. And I say that as someone who has been her harshest critic.

What can the Sherlock actress have felt when she saw her former partner Martin Freeman on the red carpet at the prestigious Olivier Awards in London with his French girlfriend Rachel Benaissa, half his age, clinging on and looking up at him adoringly? The Hobbit star, 53, appeared more than a little smug in a burgundy smoking jacket, with Rachel, 30, looking smokin’ hot in a cream silk dress split high up her lithe young thigh. No, she’s not even in the West End where she has spent much of her illustrious 30-year career with notable stage successes, including starring in and getting rave reviews for The Unfriend at the Criterion Theatre and The Son at the Duke of York’s.
