If anyone can inspire people to lead an active life it's Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden. And the Welsh dancer says it's her passion for dance that's helped her when she's been at her lowest as she's battled Crohn's disease.
"Dancing has been my saviour and I'm not sure what kind of place I'd be in if I wasn't keeping active with my Crohn's disease – I always feel so much better once I start moving," says Amy.
“When I'm at my lowest it’s my dancing that pushes me through. You can get quite low when you suffer from these flare-ups, and you ask yourself ‘why me? this is not fair’ when you're in pain. When the pain starts to ease and get better, the first thing I want to do is get my body moving.”
