Strictly Come Dancing’s Amy Dowden has been supported by fans as she took to social media to share a relationship update. The 34-year old Welsh dancer returned to the hit dancing show last year, following a breast cancer diagnosis in May 2023 which forced her to step away from the competition.

Amy was thrilled to return to Strictly and was partnered with JLS singer JB Gill. However, she was forced to withdraw from the show in week six after suffering a leg injury. She was replaced in the race for the glitterball by Lauren Oakley, and the pair went on to make it to the final.

Away from the dancefloor, Amy is married to fellow dancer Ben Jones and the couple are currently celebrating their three-year wedding anniversary.

Taking to social media, Amy shared a few flashback snaps to their wedding day as she wrote: “Happy 3rd anniversary to my love! Love you always and forever! Your Amy.”

Several Strictly stars took to the comments section on Instagram to congratulate the gorgeous couple on their milestone celebration. Professional dancer Katya Jones said: “Happy Anniversary you two!! X”

Judge Motsi Mabuse added love heart emojis while dancer Carlos Gu wrote: “To my favourite couple!!! Happy anniversary and there more to come! Love you two.”

Neil Jones added: “Happy Anniversary you two and I can’t wait to see many more years” while Strictly fans also sent their good wishes.

One wrote: “Happy anniversary Amy and Ben!! still not over how gorgeous you looked & how stunning your dress was.” Another added: “Happy anniversary to you both stunning photo.”

The dancer refused to be beaten by her cancer diagnosis and told the ECHO in an exclusive interview how she is now feeling better than ever.

Amy recently went on tour with her co-star Carlos Gu in a show called ‘Reborn.’ Amy told the ECHO: “She said: “I’m feeling like Amy again. I don’t think it was until December when I was like ‘this is what it felt like’. I’ve got my energy back. I’ve got my strength back.”

Amy has been candid throughout her health battle as she regularly shared brave updates on social media of each step of the way after her diagnosis. The dancer admitted it was “scary” to be so public about a private issue, but knew she had to face up to her fears to raise awareness on such an important cause that affects so many.

She said: “‘I’d opened up about my Crohn’s disease and I’d saw the impact that made. When I was diagnosed [with cancer], I knew it was going to come out to the public so I wanted to turn such a negative into a positive and hopefully get people checking themselves.

“Early detection saves lives. I never thought, at 32, I’d be diagnosed with breast cancer. If you’re not checking yourself, then who is because you don’t get mammograms until you’re in your 50s.

“I wanted to raise awareness and get as many people as I possibly could checking themselves to save lives. But also make sure people who can get their mammograms are not missing their routine appointments.

“It was very scary and I did have doubts, but, ultimately, you’ve got to think of the bigger picture and I wanted to use the platform I’ve been so lucky to have been given to hopefully help others and save lives.”

Amy has more than succeeded in her mission and she was deservedly awarded an MBE for her work in fundraising and raising awareness on Crohn’s disease and cancer.

Amy is hoping to be on the next season of Strictly Come Dancing when the line-up is announced later this year.
