Amanda shared her decision to leave the show with her Instagram followers after missing the previous week because of illness.
In her statement, she wrote: “It 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.”
She continued: “It 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. I want to thank the incredible Production team and everyone on Strictly who looked after me and who are so kind and caring. It’s a wonderful bunch of people and I’ll miss all of them.”
She finished the statement by saying: “I’m so sad that I am unable to go any further. Thank you to everyone who voted and who sent wonderful messages and inspiring support. You are all amazing. Truly. Thank you.”
