During Thursday's Good Morning Britain, hosts Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh caught up on the latest entertainment news with their showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold.Initiating the conversation, Madeley remarked: "Judy [Finnigan] and I made a point of watching Channel 4 News last night to catch this interview with Amanda Abbington.

It's about 40-45 minutes long, we both felt having watched the whole thing go out kind of live, that she looked very damaged by the experience."Arnold concurred, stating: "It was deeply, deeply unsettling to watch, wasn't it?

It really was."The discussion then turned to Abbington's "candid" revelations about her time on Strictly Come Dancing, as viewers saw the emotional actress in conversation with Krishnan Guru-Murthy the previous evening.In a revealing chat with Guru-Murthy, Abbington likened her stint on the BBC dance show to being "in the trenches", as reported by the Express.

Having exited the contest mid-season last year, the 50-year-old has levelled some serious claims against her former dance partner.She disclosed to Guru-Murthy that an astonishing 50 hours of rehearsal footage had been withheld.Abbington disclosed that she raised concerns with the show's executives in her first week of rehearsals with Pernice, which led to cameras being installed in their practice room.
