Helen Skelton has paid an emotional tribute to her one of her Strictly co-stars, praising them for being a "warrior" whilst "fighting a silent battle".
The Countryfile presenter took to Instagram over the Christmas weekend to share admiration for Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Amy Dowden who has been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Amy, 32, was diagnosed with the disease when she was 19 and has been vocal about life with Chron's.
And she has recently shared her experiences in a new BBC documentary, 'Strictly Amy: Crohn's and Me'. In the show, she reveals how dancing 'saved' her following her diagnosis, and speaks to others living with Crohn's to understand the impact on their lives.
