Helen Skelton asks fans to support Strictly professional dancer 'fighting silent battle'

Helen Skelton has shared her support for Strictly star Amy Dowden for "fighting a silent battle".

Helen became close to the Strictly professional while on the latest series of the show, where she made it to the final. Some of the stars have remained close since the last series concluded earlier this month, and Helen has told her fans to watch the dancer's documentary.

Amy opens up about her battle with Crohn's disease she was diagnosed with at age 11. The show called 'Strictly Amy: Crohn's and me' sees the dancer open up about the secret she’d keep out of the professional spotlight for fear of it overshadowing her success.
