Amanda Abbington receives standing ovation for stage return after challenging times

A standing ovation after a tough journey

Amanda Abbington was met with a standing ovation from the audience as she made her return to the stage in the lead role of When It Happens To You. This comes after a challenging period following her exit from Strictly.

Speaking out about the aftermath

Following her departure from Strictly and subsequent official complaint about dance partner Giovanni Pernice, Amanda Abbington opened up about the death threats she and her children received from extreme fans of the show. She described the experience as "brutal, relentless, and unforgiving."

Details on the investigation

An investigation into Giovanni Pernice's behavior behind the scenes is ongoing, with insights into a secret audio recording he is believed to have made during rehearsals with Amanda. However, a source close to Amanda dismissed the recording as everyday dialogue between partners and professionals.

Continuing on the stage

Amanda Abbington, known for her role in Sherlock, will continue to star in When It Happens To You throughout August at Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, London.
