Amy Dowden's future on Strictly revealed as bosses issue MAJOR update on dancer after she was forced to pull out of the show


The Welsh ballroom dancer, 34, who is understood to be in remission after battling breast cancer , returned to the show following a two-year absence in September.

Amy was admitted to hospital following a reported collapse at Elstree Studios, the BBC show's Hertfordshire base after suffering a 'medical emergency' backstage during Saturday's live Halloween special. Lauren will rehearse with JB in Amy's absence after the singer avoided the dance-off, finishing fifth on the Strictly leader-board with a collective score of 32 from show judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel-Horwood and Anton du Beke.
