Amy Dowden gives update on health and hopes for this year's Strictly

Amy Dowden has said she is “working hard” to get her body ready for a return to Strictly Come Dancing following her battle with breast cancer. The professional dancer, 33, first found a lump in her breast the day before going to the Maldives on her honeymoon with fellow professional dancer Ben Jones.

She added: “I was actually at the oncology unit yesterday, having my monthly injection, which I will need for five years. But I’m just so grateful to get another shot at life. but I never thought in a million years at 32, that I’d be diagnosed with breast cancer. Dowden is now supporting The Big Help Out, a campaign to showcase how volunteering benefits both communities and the people who take part, and she said: “Unfortunately one in two of us in our lifetime is diagnosed with cancer but charities like Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Young Lives Vs Cancer, Breast Cancer Now, they wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for volunteers.
