Strictly star Amanda Abbington was pictured in tears earlier this week (Image: BBC) Amanda Abbington was spotted looking visibly upset just days after it was confirmed Giovanni Pernice is not included in the 2024 lineup of Strictly Come Dancing . The Sherlock actress, 50, was paired with the Italian professional dancer, 33, on the last season of the long-running BBC series. This week, Amanda was pictured being comforted by a friend amid allegations made against her former dance partner.

On Wednesday the actress looked visibly upset while being hugged by actress Sue Vincent as they stood outside The Groucho Club in London. The pair could be seen chatting outside the private members' club before Sue wrapped her arms around Amanda in a sweet embrace. The on-screen star looked teary-eyed in pictures obtained by the Mirror.



Abbington's public display of emotion follows her unexpected exit from last year's Strictly Come Dancing competition. Initially, citing "personal reasons" for her decision, she has since levelled accusations against her professional dance partner Giovanni, alleging his training methods were abusive leaving her "broken and in tears" and suffering from "mild Post Traumatic Stress Disorder". function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
