Amy Dowden has had quite the week. After revealing that she had completed her chemotherapy for her breast cancer, she then shared an update on Thursday that she had sustained a shock injury and was now wearing a medical boot after fracturing her foot. This unfortunately means that her plan to join her fellow pros on the dancefloor this series is no longer possible.
In an emotional update on Instagram, Amy thanked fans for the support she has received and said:
"I've not smiled since Tuesday and now I'm smiling again. Just watched some wonderful dancing tonight and I'll continue to do so over the weekend. It's been a rubbish week, but feeling better now."
Amy has continually updated fans on her health since her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year, which saw her undergo a mastectomy in July. She then began chemotherapy after doctors discovered more tumours, before ringing the bell to mark her final round of treatment this month.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has made several appearances on the show this year, helping presenter Claudia Winkleman to read out the terms and conditions for viewers at home before voting commenced.

Following her latest health update, Amy has been inundated with messages of support from fans and friends alike. Former pro Janette Manrara commented: “Oh no! Well in that case 2024 could not be coming sooner!
