Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has shared an emotional clip as she documented the moment she shaved her head.
The dancer posted the tear-jerking video alongside a heartfelt captioned where she detailed how she decided to 'take control' but admitted it has been the 'hardest step so far.' Amy, 33, who received the news she had breast cancer back in May, has undergone a mastectomy and been having chemotherapy treatment amid her cancer battle. She has since been documenting her experiences, hoping it will raise awareness and encourage others to check themselves. But this latest development showed the star taking a brave step as she promised to get back to her "happy dancing, tea lover" self.
In the clip, Amy could be seen sitting in a chair as her family gathered around her for the big moment. She wiped tears from her eyes and was comforted by her loved ones as her hair fell to the floor. But Amy remained smiling and laughing as her family members took turns to cut her hair.
Detailing the emotional moment with her Instagram followers, Amy penned: "“This too shall pass. "Taking control- The hardest step so far. I tried my best to save it.
I know it’s only hair but these past few months I’ve had what feels like so much taken away from me that has made me not feel like Amy. "I’m missing every possible aspect of dancing. I just wanted to keep my identity with my hair and I tried telling myself it wouldn’t go.
