The actress was perfectly happy just cashing a check and then feigning illness.

Her partner was classy about the exit, the actress was not.

Amanda Abbington

Strictly Come Dancing

Giovanni Pernice

Amanda Abbington’s unexpected departure from Strictly Come Dancing after just five weeks has left fans intrigued, particularly due to a perceived omission in her statements. Initially, the announcement of her withdrawal lacked a specific reason, but after missing a show for “medical reasons,” Abbington shared a quote about mental health. In a subsequent statement, she attributed her exit to “personal reasons” and expressed regret for the decision.

What caught the attention of Strictly enthusiasts was Abbington’s failure to mention her professional dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, in her departure statement. This raised eyebrows, especially since Pernice had expressed sadness over their inability to continue just a day earlier, sharing a heartfelt message and a photo of them in Christmas pajamas.

Abbington’s statement praised her fellow contestants but conspicuously left out any acknowledgment of Pernice, prompting fans to describe the omission as “strange” and “odd.” It’s worth noting that in past instances of contestants leaving the show, there has been a tradition of thanking the dance partner, making Abbington’s departure departure from this norm stand out.
