Dancer was performing with husband Ben Jones and had to leave the stage to be ill before returning to the stage tearful
Amy Dowden has returned to the dancefloor for the first time since her cancer diagnosis in an emotional and powerful performance that left the star tearful, but also put a physical strain on the recovering star, leaving her unwell for a few moments.
Amy had been reunited with members of the Strictly family for the first time in a performance dance setting this weekend. The weekend at the Warner Hotel at Cricket St Thomas, Somerset, had also seen performances from Strictly professional dancers Katya, Neil, Karen, Nancy and Carlos. Husband Ben praised Amy's strength and resilience, calling her 'a warrior'. Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023 after finding a lump just before her honeymoon. She has just completed therapy for stage three cancer.
She said the samba had 'not gone how she wanted', but the crowd drowned out her explanation with more applause. Despite being unwell Amy continued to dance and was met with more applause. She and Ben completed their routine ending with a Dirty Dancing jive, which again saw Amy fall unwell at the end.
