Welsh Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden made a grandmother's dream come true in an emotional first episode of her new BBC show: Amy Dowden's Dare to Dance. In the series, Amy becomes a personal dance coach to members of the public who wish they could dance.
In the first episode of the series, which aired on BBC One at 5.35pm on Saturday, she visited Sian from Dinas Powys who was told as a child "she would never dance". The 69-year-old said: "I've wanted to dance since I was a little girl but I've never been able to. My grandmother always told me I had big legs, my father would never lift me up because he said I was too big a girl. My grandad always wanted me to dance and he tried and tried and tried to teach me, but it was just hopeless."
