Amanda Abbington's home is visited by police as officers continue their investigation into chilling death threat letter sent to actress telling her 'she should prepare to die'

Police have visited the home of Amanda Abbington as an investigation into a chilling death threat sent to the actress continues.

Met detectives were alerted on Friday afternoon to a threatening email sent to the north London theatre where Amanda is performing.

The 50-year-old actress is starring in new play When It Happens To You at the Park Theatre in Finsbury.

The frightening email warned 'she should be prepared to die onstage' unless she withdrew her complaint about former Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice - who is now at the centre of a BBC probe.

Park Theatre quickly alerted the force who are taking the threat 'very seriously' and are working to 'unmask' the person who sent it. The Sherlock actress has now been interviewed by officers twice and her home she shares with fiancé Jonathan Goodwin was visited by police yesterday.

After the show,Amanda changed into a black T-shirt with 'Quiet No More' written on the back

In her first acting role since she dramatically quit Strictly,Amanda made her debut in the new play When It Happens To You and reportedly broke down in tears during the performance. 

After the emotional show,she changed into a black t-shirt with 'Quiet No More' written on the back - seemingly a reference to the ongoing Strictly scandal.
