Amanda Abbington shuts down feud rumours with Gio and says they ‘laugh a lot’<\/h3>\n

Amanda Abbington “just couldn’t cope” with the gruelling Strictly Come Dancing process, it has been claimed, following the news of the Sherlock star’s decision to quit the BBC dance show.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday, the day she’d been expected to perform before she pulled out, the 49-year-old re-shared a quote on her Instagram Stories, declaring: “People don’t fake depression. They fake being okay. Remember that. Be kind.”<\/p>\n

Now a show insider has claimed that she and Giovanni had been clashing over his “tough” approach to training sessions, adding: “If Amanda wasn’t very well, that wouldn’t have helped.”<\/p>\n

The source told the Telegraph: “She was with a partner who had a certain training style that she couldn’t cope with. Whether that came to a head, or whether there is something else going on, I don’t know.”<\/p>\n

They added: “From the very beginning [she and Giovanni] weren’t gelling. They were putting a brave face on it, but the issue was clearly not being solved.<\/p>\n

“It could be that she didn\u2019t know what she let herself in for.”<\/p>\n

Reports have also suggested that the pair disagreed over training hours, with one Instagram video earlier this month depicting Amanda jokily trying to distract Giovanni from their work schedule with two bars of Kinder chocolate.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Guinness World Record holder had his mind on perfecting their routine, however, playfully said Amanda tried “tricking him” with the chocolate.<\/p>\n

“She knows it’s going to be a long day, so she just tricked me before that. This doesn’t mean we have to [indulge],” he insisted firmly, planting a kiss on her cheek as he spoke.<\/p>\n
