Amanda Abbington expresses interest in ITV's "Loose Women."

Amanda Abbington has announced her desire to join the ITV panel show "Loose Women." This comes as she moves on from the controversy surrounding her time on BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing." In July 2024, Abbington left "Strictly," citing personal reasons, and later accused her dance partner Giovanni Pernice of bullying. Following her accusations, Amanda faced significant public backlash, receiving numerous death threats. Despite the difficult experience, she now aims to focus on new opportunities. In an interview, she expressed her enthusiasm for joining "Loose Women," emphasizing the importance of women's voices and the need to approach discussions with positivity. Abbington also shared her reflections on the aftermath of the bullying row. She felt unfairly labeled as a "villain" during the conflict and stated she has "no regrets" about speaking out. Amanda acknowledged her past experiences with bullying, which motivated her to take a stand. Currently, she is involved in a production of "(This Is Not A) Happy Room," performing in a smaller theater. Abbington expressed hope for her future in acting and the potential to direct someday. While she is uncertain about her public image, she feels optimistic and has learned to manage negativity better.
