Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden offers update after fans ask 'how are you' amid cancer treatment

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has offered an update on how she is doing as she undergoes treatment for cancer. The dancer shared that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in an emotional interview in May.

Amy, 32, told fans that she had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after discovering a lump. The Welsh star, who has appeared on the BBC's hit dance show since 2017, 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.

It wasn't until after her holiday that the Welsh star went to the doctors where she was quickly referred and told the news. Last month, Amy underwent surgery to remove her right breast a She had "more than on tumour" and has since confirmed that she was also able to have reconstruction surgery at the same time.
