STRICTLY Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has returned to social media for the first time since sharing her cancer diagnosis with fans.
The BBC star, 32, revealed last week she had been diagnosed with an aggressive grade of breast cancer.

The 32-year-old star found a lump the day before heading on her honeymoon to the Maldives, and was later told to “prepare for the worst”.
After a tough few weeks, the pro dancer admitted today it was “exactly what we need right now” as she posted snaps from a family birthday party.
Amy shared photos from her nephew Jacob’s first birthday, and she couldn’t stop smiling as she cradled the sweet tot.
The star wore a pretty blouse with bright flowers on the sleeves, and matched it with a silver pendant chain.
Amy wrote alongside her photos: “Our darling nephew Jacob is 1!
“Got him his first set of wheels. But he’s more impressed with soaking his outfit with his outdoor rain forest water table! We love you Jacob! Happy first birthday party darling.”
On Wednesday Amy opened up about her dancing future as she thanked fans for their support in the wake of her cancer diagnosis.
She said she wanted to remain as positive as possible after doctors told her they had caught her cancer early.
She added she hopes for a quick return to Strictly – refusing to rule out being back on the show later this year.
Sarah James, the BBC show’s executive producer, said: “Amy is an exceptional person, both on and off the dance floor, and is adored by her entire Strictly Come Dancing family.
“Everyone on the show is sending Amy all our love and she knows that we are all here to support her, whenever she needs us.”
Sadly she has a history of cancer in her family, telling Hello! Magazine: “My Mum had thyroid cancer and breast cancer when I was younger, and it was tough to watch her go through it.
“It’s important to remember the effect cancer has on the whole family – it can be just as difficult watching your loved one go through it, and that can take a toll on everyone’s health.”
Although she’s been told she has grade three cancer, it’s not known at what stage it is at.
She now has to wait for an MRI and biopsy before discovering her treatment plan. It will definitely include surgery, she’s been told.
Amy has also bravely spoken out about her life battle with Crohn’s.
