Amanda Abbington promoting new play When It Happens To You (Image: GETTY) Express.co.uk spoke to Amanda Abbington as she launched the play When It Happens To You - and she revealed what her plans are for the future.

The former Strictly star told us: "I've been told by many people I should write a book - hopefully I will", admitting that she's seriously considering the prospect. However, she's adamant that her experience with 2023 dance partner Giovanni Pernice won't be one of the topics she'll spill the beans about. "I don't think so - I think we can put that to bed," she declared, adding that she's keen to move on to the next chapter of her life.

"I'm focusing on the play and my family at the moment. I know what happened [with Giovanni]." Instead of elaborating on his conduct in rehearsals, any future book she publishes would cover her life and other aspects of her career.

Meanwhile, Amanda added that acting is her first love and she'll be giving reality TV shows a backseat in her life in future in order to pursue it. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
