Strictly Come Dancing star Amanda Abbington's glitzy outfits and beguiling ballroom dances are worlds away from her life working on Sherlock with her former partner, Martin Freeman.
The TV stars met in 2000 before calling quits on their long-term relationship in 2016. Amanda and Martin never married, but they did welcome two children together during their 16-year partnership, Joe and Grace.

Joe, 17, kickstarted a career in acting earlier this year after being announced as part of a specially-adapted teen production of Everybody's Talking about Jamie in Tunbridge Wells.
Budding star Joe was also cheering on Amanda from the sidelines as she took on the Viennese Waltz with dance partner Giovanni Pernice on the opening show of Strictly last Saturday.
Grace, 15, appears to keep largely out of the spotlight, though she has joined her parents on the red carpet on several occasions.

Martin and his girlfriend Rachel Mariam were joined by his children Joe and Grace at the premiere of Black Panda: Wakanda Forever in 2022.

The Responder actor told Radio Times when asked about how he feels about his kids flying the nest: "Me and their mum [Amanda] don't live together so there are times where they're inevitably going to not be with you, or when they say, 'Maybe not this weekend''.

Amanda Abbington's Strictly journey so far
Amanda is partnered with former Strictly champion Giovanni Pernice and so far the pair have managed to wow the judges and viewers alike.
Their debut on the Strictly dancefloor saw them perform a Viennese Waltz which was met with high praise from Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse. Week two saw them take on the salsa.

Speaking on her Instagram the following morning, Amanda thanked for their support. "You're all so lovely and the comments and messages I'm getting are really appreciated because its nerve wracking going out there and doing something out of your comfort zone."
She added: "Thank you so much to those who took the time to vote. If I could thank you all individually and give you all a fluffy hug, I would."
