The Strictly Come Dancing 2022 countdown is officially on with this year's professionals heading to London to get things started. Dancer Amy Dowden, who hails from Caerphilly, delighted fans when she announced things were kicking off ahead of the BBC One show's return.
The 31-year-old, who recently married her partner Benjamin Jones, said she was "so excited" to be heading back to Strictly for her sixth year on the famous dance floor as she said goodbye to her new husband and friends.
Amy made the announcement on Instagram and explained she was resting up before travelling down to London after becoming "a little bit poorly" with Crohn's disease, which she has suffered with since the age of 11.
