AMANDA ABBINGTON has said it is time to move on from "one of the hardest years of my entire life".

Last year, the Sherlock star, 51, alleged she was subjected to “inappropriate, mean, nasty bullying” in a “toxic environment” while she was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023.

The actress, who has spoken previously about the “death threats and backlash” she received after speaking out, said she has delayed her wedding as “we've still got things that are hanging over us”.

“It's been tricky, it was (tricky)”, she told ITV's This Morning.
