Strictly's Giovanni maintains social media silence after another cryptic dig

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has continued to maintain his silence on social media after crashing out of the BBC competition when Amanda Abbington quit this week.

The dancer paid tribute to his time with Amanda on the show as he announced their exit, but the public goodbye was not reciprocated with Amanda's own post. Following the drama, which did not go unnoticed by fans, Amanda's fiancé Jonathan Goodwin shared a cryptic post saying there is 'more under the surface.'

Amanda made the tough decision to depart Strictly just four weeks in after missing a live show over the weekend due to 'medical reasons'. On Tuesday, the Sherlock star explained her exit "didn't come easily" but for 'personal reasons' she was 'unable to continue'. In her statement posted on her Instagram, she thanked her co-stars, production team and viewers. It did not go unnoticed that she opted to snub her professional dancer partner Giovanni Pernice in the final goodbye, hinting at a possible fallout between the two.

Four days later, Amanda's partner Jonathan returned to Instagram with a cryptic post about 'what's below the surface'. Over a picture of an iceberg, the Britain's Got Talent star wrote: "When you see an iceberg you could be forgiven for not realizing just how much is below the surface. The same is true of people. Don't be quick to judge a person or situation if you don't know what's below the surface."

Following her departure from the show, Amanda took to her social media page to explain her decision. She wrote: "It is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly. 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.

"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"
