Professional dancer Amy returned full time to the show this year following a battle with cancer
Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden has sent a message to her fans after she fell ill backstage. Bosses made an emergency 999 call after the 34-year-old, who returned to the series full time this year following a battle with cancer , reported feeling unwell. Just minutes after her performance on the ballroom with JLS star JB Gill on Saturday night she is understood to have fallen ill. A spokesman for Amy said: 'Amy was feeling unwell and so an ambulance was called as a precaution.
Speaking in August, she told Prima: 'Strictly has changed everything, from the opportunities it’s given me – I’ve got to do tours, travel the world , buy a house, open a dance studio – to the people it’s brought into my life... I’ve been in life-or-death situations, so dancing a one-minute-30-second routine for entertainment isn’t quite the same as walking into chemotherapy.
