Amy Dowden celebrates her new look by dancing with joy after shaving her head.

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden recently embraced her love of dancing in a joyous social media clip, where she showed off her newly shaved head. The 33-year-old professional dancer revealed earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and has since undergone a single mastectomy and chemotherapy.

After suffering from hair loss due to her gruelling treatment, Amy took the plunge and shaved off her remaining locks. She initially shared heartbreaking footage of saying goodbye to her hair, surrounded by her loved ones, before sharing an upbeat spin on her new look.

In the video, Amy can be seen leading her family in a lively little routine before she shaved her head. She then removed her baseball cap and twirled onto the screen to reveal her shorn scalp, with her family celebrating in the background.

The star was showered in praise by fans after posting the video, with many particularly taken by her dad Richard's moves. Her Strictly co-stars were also all in the comments, commenting on her strength and resilience.

While her cancer has ruled Amy out of fully taking part in Strictly this year, the door has been left open for her to return as and when she feels well enough. She was also referenced in the launch show the previous weekend, with presenter Tess Daly calling her 'our Welsh dragon'.
