After a long and challenging season, Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden made a triumphant return to the dance floor for a special final performance. It was a moment that many fans had been eagerly anticipating, as Amy had been forced to withdraw from the show earlier in the series due to a devastating injury.
The Welsh dancer, who has been a part of the Strictly family since 2017, had taken a break from the show last year to undergo treatment for breast cancer. But she was back this year, ready to give it her all alongside her partner JLS pop star JB Gill.
Right from their first performance, JB and Amy impressed both the judges and viewers, topping the leaderboard week after week. However, their journey together was cut short when disaster struck and Amy suffered a foot injury. But true to her resilient nature, Amy took some time to rest and recover before making a grand comeback for the show's finale.
Dressed in a stunning gold outfit, Amy joined her fellow professionals for a dazzling opening number that left the audience in awe. It was a proud moment for Amy, who had faced many challenges throughout the season, and she gave it her all on the dance floor.
Viewers were thrilled to see Amy back in action, with many taking to social media to express their joy. Some even noted the bittersweetness of the moment, as they wished she could have danced with JB in the final. But regardless, it was an amazing sight to see Amy once again dancing among her peers.
It was also heartwarming to see Amy's beaming smile in the background as JB took the stage for his final performance, earning a perfect score of 40. And before the final, Amy had teased her comeback by sharing a photo on Instagram, showing her excitement and gratitude for being back in the magical ballroom.
As for Lauren Oakley, the dancer who took over as JB's partner when Amy withdrew, she spoke about wanting to honor her co-star and "carry the torch forward" after Amy had helped JB build the foundations for his success on the show. Lauren was determined to do their partnership justice and bring her own flair to the performances.
Throughout the season, Amy had also been open about her journey, keeping fans updated on her recovery after having to step away from the show. She had shared her heartbreak at having to leave, as being back on Strictly was the best form of rehabilitation after going through chemotherapy. But she remained positive and determined to return, saying that she would be there to cheer on her fellow dancers.
Explaining her injury, Amy made it clear that it was not related to her previous health scare and that it could have happened to anyone. But despite the challenges, she was grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the show and to have the support of fans and her fellow dancers.
As the season came to a close, fans were left with a sense of pride and admiration for Amy and her unwavering strength and determination. And as for the future, who knows what incredible performances and inspiring moments she will bring to the Strictly dance floor. As always, we can't wait to see what she has in store.
