'I’ll be having another mastectomy this week' - Strictly's Amy Dowden to have further surgery after consulting medical team

Amy Dowden attends the 2025 BAFTA Cymru Awards at the International Convention Centre Wales.

Amy Dowden returned to Strictly this year after a challenging couple of years. The dancing professional was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023, and underwent a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy.

She returned to the show in 2024 but suffered a stress fracture to her shin and was forced to withdraw from the series. The star returned once again for this year's 2025 run, but was eliminated after the first live show after being partnered with Thomas Skinner.
