I never watch Strictly, but it seems that her being on it is causing some conflict.

I did a quick look but couldn’t see a thread.

Strictly Come Dancing fans divided as some say they will be avoiding 2023 series

"I’m alright thanks, pal"

I couldn't find this thread, and had wanted to post a sort of cheesy take care Amanda.

Return when and if you want and not before.

So thanks to those updating this thread for letting me do it.

I know she wont see it!

But if the TRAs are still bullying her on social media, than I would say just dont bother with social media.

PriOn1 · 23/10/2023 04:28

Amanda, if you’re reading, take care and look after yourself.

We’re here rooting for you.

You’re a wonderful woman.

GoodOldEmmaNess · 23/10/2023 09:25

Yes, lots of love Amanda, if you are reading. There is another MN thread that I keep seeing in Active Convos atm about a woman who was subjected to a lot of misogynistic hate online after daring to raise her head above the parapet in order to promote her business. I haven't read the thread, but it speaks to the fact that all you have to do, as a woman, in order to be made public property and a public focus of hostility, is exist in public. So please don't take any of the online garbage to heart. xx

JayAlfredPrufrock · 23/10/2023 09:33

I so hope Amanda feels well enough to return.

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 23/10/2023 16:28

I've just read that she's left.
I hope she'll be OK, she's brilliant.

MavisMcMinty · 23/10/2023 16:37

Oh no! She was always wonderful to watch. What a loss.

wildthingsinthenight · 23/10/2023 16:43

Oh no what a shame! She was great

Madcats · 23/10/2023 17:07

Well I thought Amanda was great.

Wishing her a speedy recovery and I hope she has at least a few happy memories of her time on Strictly.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 23/10/2023 17:10

I hope she wasn’t bullied out by the TRA’s.

And less Gio 😢

OutOfSyncWithReality · 23/10/2023 17:13

Shame. I hope she is ok.

IwantToRetire · 23/10/2023 17:14

What a shame.

But hopefully this is the best decision for her.

And, what she has clearly shown is that she can dance!

KohlaParasaurus · 23/10/2023 17:15

That's a shame. She was doing very well.

ButterflyDream · 23/10/2023 18:11

Some people all over Twitter, laughing and calling her ‘evil.’ Saying good riddance. It’s awful to witness. I hope she’s able to get the care she needs right now.

greyhairnomore · 23/10/2023 18:11

What a shame. I loved her on it. Only watched it for her this year.

Gothambutnotahamster · 23/10/2023 18:37

Gutted - loved Amanda. Thought she had such a good chance of winning!

HazardLights · 23/10/2023 18:41

She was brilliant and I was going to say I hope she wasn’t bullied but you only have to look on social media to know she was.

GrimDamnFanjo · 23/10/2023 18:42

Really sad. I headed over to Digital Spy but it's full of people still saying the same old shit about Amanda and her "transphobia."
Similar to Robert webb's treatment only worse as Amanda is a woman.

Ithouught · 23/10/2023 18:46

I’m so sorry to read that. I really looked forward to seeing how good she was at learning and performing. I too thought I wonder if she’ll win this. Know it’s silly but wishing you all the best Amanda from our household.

No1MumPendant · 23/10/2023 18:55

She was my favourite to win. Hope she feels better soon (and fuck the woman hating keyboard warriors!).

Tattle.
You have to pick your threads though.
Digital Spy went to shit years ago.

belgiumchocolates · 23/10/2023 19:12

Very sorry to hear Amanda has withdrawn. There are some vile comments on Tattle, hope she's OK

MavisMcMinty · 23/10/2023 19:13

Now we get another 3-person final. When was the last time there were 4? Someone seems to drop out every year - poor AJ for instance, having actually got to the final.
