The actress, 50, has received dozens of horrific messages a day from fans of her ex-dance partner Giovanni Pernice, 33, who she accuses of bullying behaviour.

She has deleted her Instagram after getting dozens of messages a day from fans of her pro former dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
One wrote: “I hope you get cancer and die. Poor Giovanni.”
Another says: “You nearly ruined Giovanni’s career you bitch, who do you think you are, you should crawl under a rock and die bitch.”
The Sherlock actress, 50, has been in touch with local police officers to take measures to protect herself and her family.
A source said: “Amanda has been left petrified and feeling very vulnerable in public.
“She has been worried about leaving the house to do simple errands like walking the dog or picking up groceries.
“At one point she was struggling to field the hundreds of messages from Giovanni supporters saying nasty things and threatening her safety.
“It was awful to cope with. The sheer volume was horrendous and the content was unspeakable and incredibly threatening. The police have taken the messages seriously.”
The source said Amanda decided to delete her Instagram earlier this month — but it had not stopped the trolls from getting to her.
They added: “It has felt like a real public pile on and got very ugly with personal, offensive attacks.”
The bullying probe into Italian star Gio, 33, is ongoing at the BBC.
Amanda Abbington Breaks Silence Amid Strictly Probe
He recently quit Strictly but vehemently denies the allegations and has vowed to clear his name.
There is no suggestion he knows anything about the trolls’ messages to Amanda.
TV host Laura Whitmore, 39, is also contributing to the investigation which is being spearheaded by two ex-Met detectives.
Amanda has two kids with her ex, former Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman.
She owns four dogs and was recently seen out cradling miniature dachshund Maple.

Earlier this year she was shocked to be diagnosed with mild PTSD following her stint on Strictly.
She told The Sun on Sunday in January: “I’m very sorry that people felt the need to threaten my children and bring up my past, healthy relationship with an ex-partner as an indicator of my current mental health.”
The Sun told this month how Gio has blocked the release of video tapes of his rehearsals after Amanda asked BBC bosses for them to prove her claims.
Last week he cut a forlorn figure when pictured visiting two dingy fruit machine arcades in West London.
An onlooker revealed he had blown £1,000 on the slot machines in a week.
He is reportedly in advanced talks to join the Italian version of Strictly, Ballando con le Stelle — as either a judge or pro dancer.
Last night a BBC spokesman said: “It is our longstanding position that we do not comment on specific matters relating to individuals.”

Social Media Is Going Wild Over Photo Of Caitlin Clark In Tight Street Clothes, Looking Like We’ve Never Seen Her Before

The college basketball world was dealt their dream matchup for the Elite 8 of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, as Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes will take on Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers with a spot in the Final Four on the line.
Clark and Reese will do battle for the first time since their epic showdown in last year’s NCAA tournament finals, where Angel infamously taunted Caitlin with her ring celebration.
Clark and the no. 1 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes earned their spot in the Elite 8 with a convincing 89-68 victory over no. 5 Colorado. Afterwards, a photo of Clark walking on the court in street clothes went viral on social media, with some suggesting that the Hawkeyes star may have been hiding something from us all along.

Caitlin Clark Looking For Revenge Against Angel Reese and LSU
Iowa entered last year’s championship game against LSU as the higher-ranked team, but they couldn’t keep up with Kim Mulkey’s squad, losing by a score of 102-85. Clark did have a game-high 30 points to go along with 8 assists and two rebounds, but it wasn’t enough, as the Hawkeyes defense struggled to contain all of the star power on the Tigers’ roster.
Both teams will be bringing back some key players from last year’s matchup. When it’s all said and done, Monday’s game could very well end up being the most watched game of this year’s tournament.

Shockiпg Revelatioп: WNBA players have agreed to follow the “υпspokeп rυles” of cooperatioп to fight agaiпst Caitliп Clark after witпessiпg the WNBA’s bias agaiпst Caitliп Clark, makiпg them hate her aпd waпt her to “get oυt” of the WNBA as sooп as possible.
In a surprising turn of events, WNBA players have reportedly united to adhere to the "unspoken rules" of cooperation in a collective effort to challenge Caitlin Clark.
This comes after growing sentiments among players that the WNBA exhibits a bias in favor of Clark, sparking feelings of animosity and a desire to see her leave the league.
The tensions surrounding Clark, a rising star in the WNBA, have escalated as players feel the league's favoritism towards her undermines the spirit of fair competition.
This perceived bias has led to a backlash among her peers, culminating in an informal agreement to collaborate against her during games.
Several players, who prefer to remain αποπymous, expressed their frustration with the WNBA's treatment of Clark, claiming it creates an unbalanced playing field. "It's not just about one player being good; it's about fairness and equal opportunity for all," one player stated.
"When the league seems to favor one individual, it disrupts the integrity of the game." The "unspoken rules" of cooperation involve subtle strategies and on-court dynamics where players might make tactical decisions aimed at limiting Clark's effectiveness.
This unified stance is seen as a way to reclaim a sense of balance and fairness within the league. Clark's presence in the WNBA has undoubtedly generated significant attention and excitement, but the current situation highlights the complexities of managing star talent while maintaining equitable treatment for all players.
The collective opposition she faces now serves as a testament to the deep-seated issues that can arise when players perceive favoritism. The WNBA has yet to officially comment on these allegations of bias and the reported unified stance against Clark.
However, this situation underscores the need for transparent and equitable practices within professional sports leagues to ensure that all athletes feel respected and fairly treated.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how this internal conflict will affect both Caitlin Clark's performance and the overall dynamics within the WNBA. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if the league addresses these concerns and how it impacts the future of women's basketball.
