Strictly’s Amy Dowden says ‘too soon’ to have children after cancer treatment Welsh dancer Amy Dowden has said it would be “too dangerous now” to consider having children, after doctors found “no evidence” of cancer following tests last year.
Dowden has been touring with the Strictly cast this year and will have an upcoming UK tour, called Amy & Carlos: Reborn, with her friend and Strictly professional Carlos Gu.
She said she “finished the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour last night, and I was so proud of myself, being able to do 10 shows a week, because I wasn’t sure my body was ever going to be capable of it”.
Dowden said she was “absolutely devastated” to have “dancing taken away from me”, which happened after she skipped Strictly in 2023 due to undergoing cancer treatment.
“I look confident, but … I’ve spent most nights crying at your (Carlos’s) house, saying, ‘My body feels different, my dancing’s not as good, I don’t look or feel the same’, But actually, I really feel like Amy again, and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.”.
