Amanda Abbington, a contestant on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, will not be participating in the show this Saturday due to "medical reasons." This announcement was made on the spin-off show, It Takes Two, by host Janette Manrara.
Strictly Come Dancing protocols dictate that, if all goes well, Abbington and her partner Giovanni Pernice will return the following week. Although they have not addressed the news on their social media platforms, fans have expressed their best wishes for her recovery.
Adam Thomas, another contestant on the show, was reportedly banned from rehearsals earlier in the week due to illness but has since recovered and is expected to perform.
