According to The Sun, the producers of the competition are worried about Amanda's absence as she has not given any explanation as to why she is not participating. They fear that she may withdraw from the competition altogether because she may not be prepared to compete again next week.

The ex-Strictly professional AJ Pritchard, aged 28, has informed the media that "Amanda will have likely subjected her body to a fitness regimen that she's not accustomed to and exerting her muscles."

It's crucial for her to take the necessary amount of rest at present.
