Gemma Atkinson and Strictly stars support Amy Dowden in force after heartbreaking cancer news

The Welsh dancer first discovered a lump in her right breast in April, the day before she and her husband Ben Jones flew to the Maldives for their belated honeymoon. "I was in the shower and I felt this hard lump in my right breast," Amy told Hello! Magazine.
