Amy Dowden shares Crohn’s update as she admits suffering ‘four or five blackouts a day’

Amy Dowden admitted in a recent interview that she can suffer between four to five blackouts per day due to her Crohn's disease.

The Welsh dancer – who is in remission for breast cancer – has a chronic health condition, Crohn’s, that she has suffered with since she was 11 years old.
