Strictly star Amy Dowden teases ‘super exciting news’: ‘I honestly can’t believe it’!
‘I can’t share yet but can’t wait to’
Strictly star Amy Dowden has shared her shock after receiving some “super exciting news”.
The dancer, 34, has been a firm favourite on the BBC One show since 2017. However, in May 2023, Amy was diagnosed with grade three breast cancer.
Fortunately, by February 2024, she announced there was “no evidence of the disease” left in her body. Her invasive treatment to get rid of her illness involved a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
And now, Amy has teased she has something major coming up soon…

Amy on Strictly
Amy made an inspiring return to Strictly last September after taking time away from the show due to her breast cancer diagnosis.
Partnered with JLS star JB Gill, her comeback was met with overwhelming support from fans.
However, her journey was cut short when a foot injury forced her to leave the competition. Fellow pro Lauren Oakley stepped in to take JB to the final.
Fortunately though, Amy is back on the dance floor for the 2025 series of Strictly.
