Amy Dowden 'returns' to Strictly after her collapse backstage


Pro dancer Amy Dowden was notably absent from the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor after she collapsed backstage last week, but made a brief return to the show to support JB Gill

When asked by Claudia how they managed this week working as a trio, Amy said: “It’s been a real dream team to the point where Lauren put in our chat, ‘J, do you want a coffee?’ which I replied, ‘yes, he’ll have a Vanilla Latte,’” as they burst into laughter. This season, Amy made a triumphant return to the show post-treatment for breast cancer, which included a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. On Sunday night's pre-recorded Results Show, JB was left to take the stage solo, yet he and Dowden managed to dodge landing in the bottom two after their charming foxtrot to Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader.
