Default Amanda has withdrawn from the show
already couldn't perform last weekend

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67200993

Quote:
The actress Amanda Abbington has withdrawn from Strictly Come Dancing, the show has announced.

Abbington, 51, who starred in Sherlock and Mr Selfridge, missed last weekend's show for medical reasons but had been expected to return next week.

In her last appearance on the show, Abbington scored 31 for a quick-footed foxtrot to Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac.

But she almost didn't make it to the start of the series, being struck down by food poisoning weeks before.

On Monday the host of spin-off show It Takes Two, Fleur East, read out a statement from the organisers.

"Amanda Abbington is unable to continue in Strictly Come Dancing and has decided to withdraw from the competition. The show wishes her all the best for the future," it said.

East then played a clip of Abbington's best moments on the show, adding: "Amanda, we are sending you all of our love."

Abbington, who is paired with professional Italian dancer Giovanni Pernice, has not yet commented on her withdrawal, but after missing last Saturday's show she shared on social media a picture of the late actor Robin Williams, who suffered from depression.

It was accompanied by the words: "People don't fake depression… they fake being okay. Remember that. Be kind."

Four people have been voted off Strictly so far this series: Les Dennis, Nikita Kanda, Jody Cundy and Eddie Kadi.

Abbington became involved in controversy in August when a tweet re-emerged in which she had criticised a drag show aimed at parents and children.

She apologised for the remarks after some fans threatened to boycott the show.

The actress is perhaps best known for her role in Sherlock, in which she played Mary Watson alongside her real-life ex-husband Martin Freeman.

She isn't lasting long after the bye.

it's very sad, imagine not being allowed an own opinion, some sickos on social media going as far as bullying her into a depression


she was one of my mom's favourites this year (whom also knows her from Mr Selfridge)

No, it's not true. And he's amended his OUTRAGEOUS first post in this thread, I see. He's one of the people that moderators can't see.

Don't believe this nonsense. She's too professional to say any of that stuff.

Don't watch it then, and spare us all the crap you come out with?

Sounds like she's suffering from depression from what little she's said.

She certainly didn't say she's opposed to same sex pairings. Stop talking bollocks.

I know that the Twitter crowd were rallying hatred against her.

It's unfortunate but if she has left for health issues.
That's likely the best thing to do.
