Amy Dowden on ‘guilty’ decision she faced amid breast cancer battle


Amy Dowden has opened up about her cancer battle, how she learnt of her diagnosis whilst filming the new series of her BBC Wales show and why her marriage is stronger than ever

Ordinarily, the Welsh dancer would have just finished the Strictly Come Dancing live tour after yet another successful BBC series, but for the first time in six years, Amy had to sit both out due to her cancer diagnosis. From a Wrexham couple planning their upcoming wedding to a young woman who gave up dance after losing her sight and confidence, Amy helps many well-deserving folk feel comfortable on that ballroom floor in the four-part series. Amy went on to suffer numerous problems as a result of breast cancer, including contracting sepsis after her first round of chemotherapy in August and developing a blood clot on her lung in December.
