POLICE are investigating an apparent death threat to Strictly bullying row actress Amanda Abbington.

The Sherlock star, 53, received an email warning her she would "die on stage" unless she retracts her complaint about dancer Giovanni Pernice, with whom she was partnered last year.

But she will bravely carry on appearing on stage in the play When It Happens to You at the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, North London.
