Amy Dowden on ‘guilty’ decision she faced amid breast cancer battle
In the past nine months, Amy Dowden has battled grade three breast cancer, undergone a mastectomy and chemotherapy, beaten sepsis and broken her foot - but her smile is brighter than ever. Ordinarily, the Welsh dancer would have just finished the Strictly Come Dancing live tour after yet another successful BBC series, but for the first time in six years, Amy had to sit both out due to her cancer diagnosis. “I’m getting stronger day by day,” she smiles, sporting a chic buzz cut as her hair is growing back after treatment finished in November.
