Amy Dowden was glowing with pride as she joined her fellow Strictly Come Dancing co-stars on stage at the National Television Awards. The 32-year-old professional dancer, who is currently undergoing her third round of chemotherapy for a breast cancer diagnosis, looked stunning in a tulle dress.
The acceptance speech was made extra special when newly appointed It Takes Two host Fleur East gave a touching tribute to Amy. “It’s extra special because we are joined by the fabulous Amy Dowden on stage who looks absolutely incredible,” Fleur told the cheering crowd. Radio DJ Tyler West added, “We love you Am, honestly.”
After taking some time away from social media, Amy said she was beginning to feel like herself again. She was still suffering from sickness, tiredness due to steroids, hair loss and mouth ulcers, but said she was ‘used to it by now’.
Amy was all smiles as she struck a pose with her fellow dancers at the event. She recently revealed that the steroids had caused her to have a ‘moonface’, as the medication often results in swelling and puffiness.
Since her initial diagnosis, Amy has kept her followers updated with her health, including her excitement at getting wigs made. She may not be able to take part in the 2023 series of Strictly, but she’s hopeful of appearing in a full dance routine, a video clip from home, or even on an episode of It Takes Two.
Amy and her Strictly colleagues walked away with the Talent Show award. Other winners on the night included Gogglebox for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, Sarah Lancashire for the Serial Drama Performance and Bobby Brazier for Rising Star.
