Strictly star postpones wedding after ‘worst year’

Actress Amanda Abbington has postponed her wedding to Jonathan Goodwin, originally planned for 2025, to 2026 due to ongoing litigation.
Abbington cited the past year as one of the worst of her life in an interview with The Times, saying she faced intense online abuse following her controversial exit from Strictly Come Dancing.
She alleged a "toxic environment" on the BBC show, which led to a review and prompted changes to the show's duty of care policies.
The Strictly controversy followed a 2021 accident in which Goodwin was paralysed from the waist down while rehearsing for America’s Got Talent: Extreme.
Abbington said “litigation” – which The Times said was about Goodwin – was behind the wedding postponement.
