Amanda, 49, did not take to the dancefloor on the BBC primetime show as the hosts addressed her absence.

Claudia Winkleman told viewers: "Now as you may have noticed, Amanda and Giovanni are missing from the lineup. Due to medical reasons Amanda is unable to perform this week."

Whilst Tess Daly added: "As per the rules of the competition she has been given a bye and all being well will return to the ballroom next weekend."

The actress was initially given a bye over the weekend as bosses hoped she would be well enough to return for Halloween week.

But her other half, Jonathan Goodwin, took to social media with his own cryptic post on his Instagram story.

He posted a mirror selfie where he looked at his reflection as he captioned the snap: "We can be so hard on ourselves...be our own worst critics... but before you judge yourself..."

He then added: "Make sure your mirror is clean," in what could be seen as a thought-provoking message, although this was an apparent hint to the dust seen on the mirror.

Amanda previously got engaged to the Britain's Got Talent escapologist in October 2021.

The former Sherlock actress has apparently left the competition, in a sudden move that's bound to leave her fans and viewers devastated.

The reason behind her sudden departure is expected to be revealed tonight on the magazine spin-off show, It Takes Two.

However, The Sun reported last month that Amanda and her dance partner Giovanni Pernice, 33, had clashed — with the actress threatening to quit over his 'militant' attitude to their training.

Following the reports, ­Giovanni commented: "It’s a difficult process, especially for people who have never done Strictly before."
