Star of Strictly Come Dancing Amanda Abbington has showed off her painful injury on Instagram ahead of the new season.
The Sherlock actor is among 14 other celebrities who will participate as a contestant during the BBC competition show’s 21st series. Other star-studded names include West End actor Layton Williams, EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier, and presenter Les Dennis, to name a few.
While rehearsing for the first live taping, it appears Amanda needs some rest after suffering her injury.
Amanda has suffered a blood blister
This week, Amanda posted a close-up snapshot of her foot where you could see a large blister.
“Blood blister… So… dancing in heels, when you absolutely aren’t a dancer, is clearly a blister minefield but, moreover, very much a young man’s game,” she wrote in her caption.
That said, she seemingly doesn’t plan to rest and heal her foot as she stated: “Back tomorrow for more shenanigans!”

“Oooooo, that looks so sore. I’m rooting for you to win, you are going to get my vote, I’m a big fan of your acting,” a third person remarked.
“Oh my goodness your poor feet! Looking forward to watching you,” a fourth user wrote.
