Amanda Abbington's Reflections on the Past Year

Amanda Abbington recently bared her soul about the tumultuous year she's had, largely stemming from her time on Strictly Come Dancing. Appearing on a March 17 episode of 'This Morning', Abbington, at 51, labeled the past year one of the hardest she's ever faced. The source of the drama? Allegations of misconduct by her former dance partner, Giovanni Pernice. Despite the challenges, she's now calling for collective healing and renewal.

The celebrated actress didn't hold back about the BBC's involvement, highlighting that some of her complaints were upheld following their investigation that wrapped up in September 2024. Nevertheless, Pernice has denied any serious allegations, suggesting a nuanced and complex situation.

Abbington has courageously maintained her 'no regrets' stance, proclaiming the BBC’s acknowledgment of her complaints as her vindication. Her hope now shifts towards lasting structural changes within the show's production policies to prevent future issues.

Personal Life and Future Endeavors

Besides the drama, Abbington's personal life is also a major focal point. She shared how her fiancé, Jonathan Goodwin, who is paralyzed from a 2021 accident, has been her unwavering 'rock.' While wedding bells were expected, the pair has decided to postpone nuptials until 2026 due to ongoing legal matters, demonstrating patience and shared strength.

In her quest for happiness amidst this storm, Abbington has plunged into her work. She's currently preparing for her new stage play '(This Is Not A) Happy Room', set to premiere on March 26. By adopting 11 puppies, she also found a novel way to inject joy into her life and perhaps provide a therapeutic outlet.

The actress hasn’t just found support from Goodwin. Her pride swells as she talks about her children, Joe and Grace, who are making waves in the acting world. It's a testament to her resilience and determination that even in a year rife with challenges, she can still celebrate familial achievements and await happier times.
