BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice seemed to reveal his true feelings for partner Amanda Abbington before she left the show.<\/p>\n

The pair have been in the news after Amanda, 49, pulled out of the last live show and then announced she was leaving for good.<\/p>\n

Breaking her silence after the news emerged, she said she had 'deep regret' about leaving due to 'personal reasons', and fans wondered if a rumoured argument with Giovanni, 33, was the cause.<\/p>\n

It was reported the pair had a disagreement during rehearsals, with the Sherlock actress being upset with her partner's 'aggressive' technique. But any rumours of a 'feud' seem to be put to rest by some kind words from Giovanni caught on camera.<\/p>\n

The couples have to wear microphones during their dances, which record their conversations – although this isn't broadcast live on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

Instead, the footage is shared on the Strictly Instagram feed to give a glimpse into what's really happening on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

Giovanni was heard saying "beautiful" to Amanda as they danced the Foxtrot to the famous Fleetwood Mac song Everywhere, before pretending to kiss as part of the romantic routine.<\/p>\n

Amanda and Giovanni ended up fourth on the Strictly leaderboard with a decent score of 31 for their final performance that week. However, it was later announced that Amanda wouldn't be participating in the fifth week of the competition due to "medical reasons".<\/p>\n

After missing the weekend's live shows, it was confirmed Amanda would be leaving the show permanently. The 49 year old actress shared on Instagram: "It is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She added: "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."<\/p>\n

"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. 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. xxx."<\/p>\n

Adding fuel to the rumours of a 'feud' between the pair, Amanda didn't mention partner Giovanni in her tribute to Strictly colleagues a fact that fans of the BBC dance show didn't miss.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One fan commented: "Such a pity but leaving Giovanni without a thank you doesn't seem right. He's always been kind and caring to his partners." Another added: "I think Amanda you have forgotten somebody there, what about a mention for your partner??"<\/p>\n

A third viewer remarked: "That's what I thought too! Bit strange." A fourth agreed: "I think not mentioning him tells us everything really." <\/p>\n

A fifth speculated: "I have the feeling there was something more interpersonal than that. They really stood a chance to get to the final."<\/p>\n

These comments came after Giovanni shared his own tribute to Amanda. He posted a happy picture of them backstage in their pyjamas, writing: "Amanda .. I am so sad we can't continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was quite different from Amanda's Instagram post the previous weekend, where she promised to return with Giovanni on the show. She had shared a photo of them performing, captioning it: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR LOVE, KINDNESS AND SUPPORT. It truly means the world to read all your beautiful and heartfelt messages! Honestly. I'm very humbled by it all. You're all so bloody LULLY!! See you next week when we cha-cha-charge into Saturday (I'm sorry. Please still vote for us). @giovannipernice thank you! Ya beauty.<\/p>\n

Giovanni had commented underneath with a fire and heart-eyes emoji, saying, "Legend, let's do it partner," to which she'd replied with a string of kisses and flames. However, Amanda's post this morning lacked the same spark, as she chose to share a picture of the gold shoes she'd danced in last week.<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer on Saturday from 6.40pm<\/p>\n
