Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Amy Dowden has sent a message of support to the BBC show team ahead of its first live programme of 2023, saying: “I know it’s going to be amazing.” The 33-year-old announced in June that she had undergone a mastectomy after discovering she had stage three breast cancer, and would be unable to have a celebrity partner on the show this year.
The new batch of famous faces will take to the dancefloor for their first performance with their professional partners during the first live show of the 21st series on Saturday night. Ahead of the show, Amy posted a photo of her dressed in Strictly glamour to her Instagram and wrote: “Happy live show day @bbcstrictly.
Wishing the entire team a fabulous show and I know it’s going to be amazing! “I’ve been kept up to date with the pros and a few sneaky FaceTimes! Literally can’t wait to watch and support you all. “Hopefully I’ll be there in a few weeks.
