Strictly Come Dancing’s Amanda Abbington filmed herself bickering with partner Jonathan Goodwin during a check-in with fans on Instagram. 

The Sherlock actress and her Britain’s Got Talent stuntman fiancé shot the video from their living room as they shared info on their new puppy, Lennon.

Declaring they “hadn’t been here for a while”, Amanda joked Lennon “looked like a bat”. 

Noting it was their fourth dog, Jonathan joked the couple had too many furry babies and so suggested one of their followers take one if they were willing. 

But Amanda wasn’t having any of it, saying they “love them all equally” and they didn’t have too many. 

The couple then quickly devolved into another squabble when Amanda, 51, stated she felt she “looked like Marjorie Proops” thanks to her thick-rimmed glasses. 

Proops, who died in 1996, was an agony aunt who always wore distinctive eyewear and had dark, bobbed hair. 

However, the reference was missed on 43-year-old Jonathan, who noted he was born in 1980 – around the time Proops was at her most-famed. 

“Why don’t you f**k off?” Amanda joked to him. “You keep reminding me that you’re considerably younger than I am!” 

“Anyway, we just wanted to say hello and check in,” Amanda noted. “Is everybody OK?” 

Jonathan then beamed: “We’re really good, we’ve got four dogs, life’s lovely, and spring is springing.”

The couple then squabbled again, talking about a cough and cold that has knocked them both out, with Amanda noting it “wasn’t a competition”. 

The pair’s friendly fire comes amid an ongoing row with Amanda’s former Strictly dance partner, Giovanni Pernice

Amanda quit last year’s show for “personal reasons” after her experience with Italian professional, noting she’s since been diagnosed with mild post-traumatic stress disorder

It’s been reported she’s also demanding video footage of the rehearsals. 

Jonathan has since appeared to back her up online, but the BBC has pledged to stand by Giovanni.

Giovanni admits he’s a ‘perfectionist’ when training, but added in a chat to The One Show: “For me it’s more about, I want to take out the best out of my partners.

“Especially if I see there is talent there. I want to do my job properly.”
