As a film enthusiast who has had the privilege of witnessing many stories unfold on both the big and small screens, I must say that Amy Dowden‘s journey is one that truly stands out. Her return to Strictly Come Dancing after battling breast cancer is not just a testament to her resilience, but also a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s indomitable nature.
Each new season of Strictly Come Dancing brings its own unique excitement, but this year holds an extra-special charm because Amy Dowden, who’s been away due to a prolonged illness, is back on the show again!
In May 2023, a skilled dancer received a diagnosis of stage three breast cancer. Her battle with this disease was already arduous, but she faced additional challenges such as sepsis and a blood clot in her health journey.
Fortunately, she is now clear of cancer, as reported by doctors in February. This means that Dowden has successfully returned to the BBC show that she cherishes.
Before the airing of the show, she received a video greeting from her previous caretakers in the medical field, expressing their hopes and well-wishes for this upcoming season, during which she will team up with JB Gill from JLS.
One of your doctors praised you, saying, “You certainly represent our cause admirably,” implying that you’re likely to reach the final round. They encouraged you with, “Just keep dancing!
A heartfelt message is being sent to @amy_dowden from her medical team at UHB, along with well wishes from everyone here, as she gets ready to grace the dance floor of the popular show @bbcstrictly tonight. We’re cheering you on, Amy! Keep dancing and break a leg! 🤩 @bbcpressoffice ❤️

Towards the conclusion of one of their performances, Dowden found herself in the middle of a large, heartfelt group embrace with the other Strictly Come Dancing specialists. Their faces beamed with joy, evidently thrilled to have her back among them once more.
The viewers felt similarly, with one tweeting: “Amy Dowden, we love you so much.”

Last month, Dowden credited Strictly Come Dancing for helping her to discover her lump after becoming friends with Giovanna Fletcher, the wife of her former celebrity partner Tom Fletcher, through which she became aware of breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel.
Without partnering with Tom in Strictly Come Dancing, I likely wouldn’t be where I am today,” I shared on BBC Radio 5 Live. “I owe a great deal to this show as we’ve been putting in countless hours for its 20th anniversary.
“I’m so excited for everybody to see what’s going to be a brilliant series.”
