Amy Dowden has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. Amy is best known for being one of the talented professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing, where she’s been partnered up with celebrities such as Tom Fletcher, Karim Zeroual and, most recently, EastEnders favourite James Bye. Amy, who hails from Wales, shared the devastating news of her cancer diagnosis on Instagram.
In a message shared on Wednesday morning, she wrote: "Hey all, I've got some news to share which isn't easy. I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer but I'm determined to get back on that dance floor before you know it." She signed off the post: "Welsh love, Amy x." Amy also detailed her diagnosis in an interview with Hello! magazine.The dancer explained how taking part in a charity trek for CoppaFeel last June actually led to her receiving her own diagnosis. Before the trek, Amy did not check her breasts but the day before she flew off on her belated honeymoon with husband Ben Jones earlier this year, she felt a hard lump in her right breast.
After monitoring the lump for a couple of weeks, Amy noticed it seemed to have grown and called her GP. She was then given an emergency referral within a day, where doctors told her "it was looking very suspicious and to prepare for the worst, hope for the best" before a biopsy. Amy received her diagnosis of grade three breast cancer just last week.
