Strictly Come Dancing stars have shared an outpouring of love for Amy Dowden after her shock cancer diagnosis.
The professional dancer, 32, revealed she has stage 3 breast cancer after receiving the heartbreaking news last week.
Amy, who went on a charity hike in Pembrokeshire for CoppaFeel last year to encourage people to check their breasts, shared her diagnosis on Instagram, but was soon inundated with support from the Strictly gang.
Professional dancer Graziano Di Prima wrote: "Sending all my love and strength my friend" while Gemma Atkinson, who is engaged to Strictly's Gorka Marquez, said: "We're all fighting behind you all the way Amy! Sending so much love to you."
Show judge Oti Mabuse, penned: "Sending you love and power and all the strength. You're such an incredible woman. Love you Amy!"
Dancer Dianne Buswell, pledged: "Our Welsh dragon is going to fight this and I can't wait for the moment you're back on the dance floor with us. We love you so much Amy!"
Her boyfriend Joe Sugg added: "Sending you all the love, best wishes and strength Amy."
Meanwhile, dancer Vito Coppola said: "We are all with you Amy by your side" while Nadiya Bychkova wrote: "Sending you all the love and strength to through this."
Although she does not yet know if she will re-join Strictly, Amy, who's from South Wales, said in an exclusive interview with Hello!: "I've been through quite a lot in my life and this is another hurdle. But if I'm positive and strong, I've got a really good chance of getting back out on the dance floor as soon as possible."
The dancer, who joined Strictly in 2017, continued: "You just don't ever think it's going to happen to you. I hadn't thought it was possible to get breast cancer at my age. My mum has had breast cancer, but she had it at a later age, in her 50s."
Amy married her professional dance partner Ben Jones last year after a two-year delay because of the pandemic.
They were joined by guests including Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood and former professional dancer Janette Manrara, and her husband, Strictly star Alijaz Skorjanec.
Fellow Strictly dancer Dianne was one of her bridesmaids, alongside her twin sister, Rebecca.
Rebecca said on the special day: "From day one, we have always been there for each other, from our first day at school to our first dance lesson, to be there to see you win the British Nationals and then go on to be on Strictly Come Dancing."
