Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden appears at the start of the glittering new clip, delighting fans who wondered if she would take part in the series amid her breast cancer battle
Strictly Come Dancing fans have sent their well-wishes to Amy Dowden after spotting her in the new Strictly Come Dancing teaser.
The pro dancer, 32, appears at the very beginning of the thirty-second trailer, mysteriously standing next to a wall. As the music starts to ramp up, she makes a graceful exit, running in to the night.
Fans were thrilled, and took to the comments to send their best regards and hopes for the future. One wrote: “Wishing you all the very best, Amy.” Another said: “@amy_dowden we will miss you this year. Sending you lots of get well wishes xx.” A third post read: “@amy_dowden you will be missed this year, Amy but keep fighting and I’m sure all of us Strictly fans will see you dancing next year.”
Amy was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May this year, revealing her diagnosis in July. Since then she has undergone an MRI, a mastectomy and gruelling fertility treatment so she can hopefully start a family in the future with her husband Benjamin Jones. On top of her existing cancer diagnosis, she revealed that doctors had found more tumours, and she also fell ill with sepsis, from which she has since recovered.
