Amanda Abbington shuts down feud rumours with Gio and says they ‘laugh a lot’<\/h3>\n

Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reported to be concerned that Sherlock\u00a0actress Amanda Abbington will be forced to leave the show after she was unable to perform this weekend for medical reasons.<\/p>\n

During Friday’s Strictly: It Takes Two, Janette Manrara confirmed Amanda and her pro partner Giovanni Pernice would not be performing on Saturday night due to medical reasons.<\/p>\n

However, there was no further elaboration on this, and producers are now said to be worried that she will opt to leave the competition altogether as she “won’t be ready” to compete next week.<\/p>\n

Her absence was addressed at the beginning of last night’s show as presenter Claudia Winkleman said: \u201cNow as you may have noticed, Amanda and Giovanni are missing from the lineup. Due to medical reasons Amanda is unable to perform this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow presenter Tess Daly continued: \u201cAs per the rules of the competition she has been given a bye and all being well will return to the ballroom next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

However a report in The Sun claims that there is a possibility that she won\u2019t be back in the show at all.<\/p>\n

When contacted by Express.co.uk a Strictly Come Dancing spokesperson had no further update on the original statement about Amanda\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

However, a source said: \u201cThe health and well-being of everyone involved in Strictly is production\u2019s absolute priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk has contacted Amanda Abbington\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

This speculation comes after Amanda took to social media to share a poignant post about mental health just hours before this week\u2019s Strictly live show.<\/p>\n
