TERRIFIED Strictly star Amanda Abbington has called in police after being bombarded with death threats from trolls. The actress, 50, has received dozens of horrific messages a day from fans of her ex-dance partner Giovanni Pernice, 33, who she accuses of bullying behaviour. She has deleted her Instagram after getting dozens of messages a day from fans of her pro former dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
One wrote: “I hope you get cancer and die. Poor Giovanni.” Another says: “You nearly ruined Giovanni’s career you bitch, who do you think you are , you should crawl under a rock and die bitch.
” The Sherlock actress, 50, has been in touch with local police officers to take measures to protect herself and her family. A source said: “ Amanda has been left petrified and feeling very vulnerable in public. “She has been worried about leaving the house to do simple errands like walking the dog or picking up groceries.
“At one point she was struggling to field the hundreds of messages from Giovanni supporters saying nasty things and threatening her safety. “It was awful to cope with. The sheer volume was horrendous and the content was unspeakable and incredibly threatening.
The police have taken the messages seriously.” The source said Amanda decided to delete her Instagram earlier this month — but it had not stopped the trolls from getting to her. They added: “It has felt like a real public pile on and got very ugly with personal, offensive attacks.
” The bullyi.
