September 2nd 2023.
Amy Dowden, the beloved professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, recently teased an appearance on the upcoming series of the show, despite her ongoing cancer treatment.
The 33-year-old revealed earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and had since undergone a single mastectomy and has now started chemotherapy after doctors found more tumours.
However, it appears her Strictly dreams are not dashed just yet. In a recent interview with Hello!, Amy said she had been in contact with the Strictly team and they were preparing some fabulous wigs for her to wear if she were to make any appearances on the show. She also expressed her gratitude for the team behind the scenes, who were being guided by her.
It has now been confirmed that Amy will be involved in the series, although she won't be there to film the launch opener. The BBC spokesperson told Express.co.uk that she ‘will be in the series’.
Amy recently acknowledged how difficult it is not to be a part of the group numbers this year, but she was still able to get some glam-up by the hair and make-up team during a set visit before her third round of chemotherapy.
She also revealed she had a terrifying health scare after her first round of chemotherapy, as she was treated in hospital for sepsis in what was deemed a ‘life-threatening’ situation by doctors.
Despite this, she remains full of positivity, expressing her support for the cast of Strictly ahead of the launch of the new series. On Instagram, she shared a picture of her with sparkly make-up and glamorous lashes, and wrote, ‘I’ve seen all the group numbers and the process by videos, then again watching yesterday and WOW honestly the best yet!’
Amy continued to express her gratitude for her Strictly family, and wrote how proud she is to work on the show. She concluded her post with a determination to be back on the dance floor soon, writing, ‘Now I’m on way to chemo number 3! Let’s hope no hospital admissions and scares after this one. But I’m going with a spring in my step this morning after yesterday and knowing everyday I’m closer to dancing on that floor again
