Amy Dowden is no stranger to health battles, having lived with Crohn’s disease and faced a battle with breast cancer, along with further health struggles in early menopause and fertility struggles.
Ahead of the release of her documentary 'Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me' last year, she told the BBC: "I had a hormone-fed cancer, so they needed to put me into menopause because my hormones were feeding the cancer.
Amy first revealed that she had been living with Crohn’s disease in 2019, and in a bid to raise awareness of the condition and detail her own experience, fronted the BBC documentary - 'Strictly Amy: Crohn’s And Me'.
But after overcoming the battle with breast cancer, Amy faced further health challenges after being placed into medically induced menopause and dealing with fertility struggles.
But her world was turned upside down when Amy was heartbreakingly diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2023, which saw her temporarily pause her time on Strictly Come Dancing.
