AMANDA Abbington has broken her silence on her shock decision to leave Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n

The actress, 49,posted a lengthy statement online after news<\/span> of her exit broke last night – but she failed to mention her pro partner Giovanni Pernice, 33.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Today she told fans: \u201cIt is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly. I did not come to this decision easily or lightly but for personal reasons I am unable to continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an absolute joy working with my fellow contestants, they are a beautiful, hardworking and talented group of people who I love and who I will miss seeing every Friday and Saturday and competing alongside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank the incredible Production team and everyone on Strictly who looked after me and who are so kind and caring. It\u2019s a wonderful bunch of people and I\u2019ll miss all of them.
I\u2019m so sad that I am unable to go any further.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone who voted and who sent wonderful messages and inspiring support. You are all amazing. Truly. Thank you. Xxx\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda Abbington breaks silence on Strictly exit – but snubs Giovanni after 'feud'<\/h3>\n

<\/picture>STRICTLY OVER <\/span><\/p>\n

This is why Amanda Abbington has quit Strictly Come Dancing<\/h3>\n

Last night presenter and singer Fleur East confirmed the Sherlock star had exited the show.<\/p>\n

She read a statement which said: "Amanda Abbington is unable to continue in Strictly Come Dancing and has decided to withdraw from the competition.<\/p>\n

"The show wishes her all the best for the future<\/span>."<\/p>\n

A compilation of Amanda's best moments on the dancing show was played before Fleur added: "Amanda, we are sending you all of our love."<\/p>\n

It came after it was announced on Friday evening that Amanda would miss the Strictly live show on Saturday night but could "return the following week" alongside Giovanni. <\/p>\n

At the time, according to the\u00a0Mirror, the\u00a0Sherlock\u00a0star shared a quote by the late actor and comedian\u00a0Robin Williams – but then deleted it. <\/p>\n

The post seemingly read: "People don't fake depression\u2026 they fake being okay. Remember that. Be kind."<\/p>\n

Following her exit announcement, Gio shared a picture of the pair wearing Christmas<\/span> outfits on his Instagram<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The post read: "Amanda … I am so sad we can't continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love."<\/p>\n

The Sun reported last month how\u00a0Amanda and her Italian dance partner Giovanni had clashed\u00a0\u2014 with the actress threatening to quit over the dance pro\u2019s \u201cmilitant\u201d attitude to training.<\/p>\n

In her last appearance on the show, Amanda scored 31 for a quick-footed foxtrot to Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac, with judge Mabuse saying she enjoyed that the couple took the time to show the "beauty of the movement".<\/p>\n

In the second week of Strictly she had wowed the judges with complex-looking lifts and a handstand when she dazzled in a sparkly dress and performed the salsa to a song by Gloria Estefan alongside partner Giovanni.<\/p>\n
