Amy Dowden, a well-known dancer on the popular show Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared her excitement for her new BBC Wales series. She also made a request to the BBC, following her successful battle with cancer.
After undergoing treatment, the 33-year-old Welsh dancer announced on Instagram that she was cancer-free. In light of this news, she has urged the broadcaster to air her reality series, Dare to Dance, which was originally commissioned by BBC Wales. Her hope is that it will be picked up by BBC One so that the entire UK can celebrate her love of dance.
The show, which was filmed after her stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis, features Amy coaching aspiring dancers to perform in front of their unsuspecting loved ones. She has expressed her desire for the show to reach a wider audience and for a third series to be commissioned.
Amy's passion for dance has been a driving force in her recovery from cancer. She stated, "After having my dancing taken away from me in the last few months, I'm ready to dig deeper into it now." The second season of Dare to Dance features a variety of inspiring individuals, including a Wrexham FC-obsessed couple getting married and a cameo from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney. Amy also meets a young woman who gave up dancing due to losing her sight, a firefighter with a secret love for dance, and two friends preparing to perform at a Windrush Day celebration.
This news comes after Amy's regular updates on her cancer treatment, where she revealed she was disease-free. She expressed her gratitude for the support she received from her family, friends, and followers. However, she acknowledged that she will still need monthly injections for five years and regular check-ups. She also plans to take the next few months to heal and recover from the toll that chemotherapy and the past year have taken on her physically and mentally.
Amy's positivity and determination have been an inspiration to many. She stated, "I have so much to strive and live for, and I am grateful for another chance at life!" She also emphasized the importance of raising awareness for cancer and encouraging others to #checkthemselves. Despite the difficulties she has faced, Amy is looking ahead and making plans for the future.
Her Strictly co-stars and fans have flooded her with messages of support, with fellow dancer Dianne Buswell commenting, "Best news to come this year and it's just the beginning of the good stuff! I told you this is your year, my girl, and I am cheering you on with every bone in my body. GO AMY, you superstar!" Amy was also recently in the hospital, but her previous health update revealed that she is now feeling much better.
In an interview in January, Amy reflected on her journey, which included a mastectomy, blood clots, sepsis, and a broken foot. She has remained positive throughout and is now excited for her upcoming holiday to Grenada with her husband. She stated, "I've got a new body, I've got scars, but I think it's something I've got to learn over time, I'm going to accept. It's not going to just happen overnight." She hopes to embrace the changes her body has undergone and is looking forward to the future.
For those affected by cancer, support and information can be found through Macmillan. Amy encourages others to reach out and make use of their resources. She also invites anyone with a celebrity story or other news to get in touch with her team.
