Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden has been celebrating the festive season with her loved ones, including an extra special guest - fellow professional dancer Carlos Gu. The 30-year-old, who is from China, joined the Strictly cast last year and was invited by Amy to experience his 'first British Christmas' with her.
The Welsh dancer, 33, had to sit out this season of the dancing series while she underwent treatment for breast cancer, diagnosed in May. Last month, Amy finished chemotherapy and made a surprise appearance on the Strictly finale.
Amy shared an update on her Christmas celebrations with her followers, posting a series of photos with her family, Carlos, and her husband Benjamin Jones. 'We have @gkx_carlos with us having his first British Christmas! Sending Welsh love to all, especially thinking of those who may find this time of year difficult. #merrychristmaseveryone,' she wrote.
The sweet snaps included one of the pair raising glasses together at a candlelit table, another of them hugging and smiling for the camera, and one of them in front of a Christmas tree with her husband. Fellow pro Dianne Buswell commented on the post, saying: 'I just love this !!! Merry Christmas you beautiful, beautiful people.'
Amy also documented her last hospital appointment before Christmas on Thursday, sharing a selfie with Ben. 'Last apt before Christmas! Then we are getting into Christmas spirit and taking our lovely @artinmotion.dance teachers out! Rrrrrrready to spend Christmas with my loved ones,’ she wrote.
The professional dancer is clearly looking forward to spending time with her family and friends, including her twin sister Becky and Carlos, after a challenging year. She finished her post with a message to her followers, 'Cherish every moment and everyone in your life! Merry Christmas all!'
