As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for dance-themed films, I must say that the return of Strictly Come Dancing for its 20th year is as exhilarating as watching a well-choreographed Bollywood number. The lineup this year is as diverse and vibrant as a Technicolor dream, with familiar faces from the realms of soap operas, showbiz, and sport.
It’s time to put on your dance shoes and glitzy attire because Strictly Come Dancing is back for another season, marking its 20th anniversary on television!
2021’s contest includes familiar figures hailing from soap operas, entertainment, and sports industries, such as Jamie Borthwick, Tasha Ghouri, Paul Merson, among others, who are eagerly participating to win the prestigious Glitterball award.
Year after year, every renowned figure requires a seasoned dance companion, and this time around, among the stellar lineup of professionals, I see none other than Amy Dowden gracing the dance floor once more following a well-deserved break.
However, let’s delve into who Amy Dowden is and how she came to be a dancer. Here’s some information about this talented artist, as well as details about her potential celebrity partner for 2024!

Celebrity partner: JB Gill
Since the age of eight, Amy has been dancing. In the year 2017, she and her current spouse, Ben Jones, earned the title of British National Champions together. Interestingly, they were the first all-British pair to win this championship in more than three decades.
Among their many achievements, they’ve been crowned British Dance Federation Champions, English Closed Champions, as well as the Welsh Closed and Open Champions.
As a devoted dance enthusiast, I can confidently say that I’ve always admired Amy Dowden, who remains among the top-tier Ballroom and Latin American professional dancers in the United Kingdom to this very day.
In May 2023, the dancer shared that she had received a diagnosis of stage III breast cancer and subsequently underwent a mastectomy. Unfortunately, this meant she couldn’t participate in Strictly Come Dancing.
In February 2024, Amy shared that her recent medical examination revealed “no trace of the illness”, although she was told not to expect a completely clean bill of health for another five years.
She returns to the series this year with a brand new celebrity partner.
What has Amy Dowden said about Strictly Come Dancing?
In regards to her coming back to the dance floor following a year’s hiatus, Amy expressed it as “quite uncanny” or “very strange yet familiar”.
She shared that she vividly remembers the time, during her initial viewing years ago, when Natasha Kaplinsky was crowned the winner. It was a spectacle unlike any other she had ever witnessed on television.
Previously, I used to dance my way to Blackpool quite frequently, but watching it on TV held a unique charm. Now, being involved in the anniversary event is almost unbelievable – it’s surreal! I believe this will truly be an extraordinary celebration of the series.
Who is Amy paired with on Strictly Come Dancing 2024?
Amy Dowden is paired with JLS singer JB Gill on Strictly Come Dancing 2024.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday 21st September at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
