BBC Strictly’s Amanda Abbington reveals stunning hair transformation after shock show exit

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Amanda Abbington has shown off a dramatic new look, after her sudden exit from the show.

The actress, 51, was dancing with Giovanni Pernice in this year's series and they really lit up the dance floor at the start of the competition.

However, last month, Sherlock star Amanda left the show before Halloween week, which also meant Giovanni was out of the competition. It was said at the time that she had to leave because of "medical reasons."

Over the weekend, after saying goodbye to the show, Amanda showed off her new hairstyle on Instagram, making her fans very happy. In the photo, Amanda is seen posing for the camera with a side fringe instead of her usual slicked style.

In her post, she wrote: 'Finally got a haircut', she wrote. Her new look was a big hit with fans who quickly filled the comments section with compliments. One fan said: "Gorgeous! Love it." Another shouted: "Wowwwww you are so beautiful! This haircut looks great on you!"

Amanda's fiance Jonathan Goodwin also couldn't resist commenting, saying: "I'm so lucky." Fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestant and former Corrie star Ellie Leach wrote: "erm obsessed ????"

The mum-of-two left the live show in week five and shared a photo of dancing shoes on Instagram along with her statement.

In a heartfelt message, she shared: "It is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly," she wrote. "I did not come to this decision easily or lightly but for personal reasons I am unable to continue.

"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."

After Amanda's sudden exit from the show, judge Craig Revel Horwood shared his feelings. He confessed he felt "so sad" when he heard the news. "I was so sad to hear that Amanda Abbington had withdrawn from the competition," Craig revealed in an interview with Best magazine.

"I couldn't wait to see her dance the cha-cha-cha alongside professional partner Giovanni. So I'm disappointed I won't get to see their future dances," he added. "But I enjoyed watching her Strictly journey and wish her all the best."
