Strictly's Amy Dowden Smiles Through Health Setback in Blackpool

All Smiles Despite Health Blow

Professional dancer Amy Dowden was spotted in Blackpool's iconic Tower Ballroom, just days after suffering another health setback. Amy, who had to withdraw from the competition due to a breast cancer diagnosis, revealed this week that she has also broken her foot. Despite the challenges, she seemed in high spirits as she joined her co-stars for the annual Strictly special.

Glamorous and Resilient

Amy arrived at the afterparty in Blackpool on crutches, adding some sparkle to her plastic walking aid. Dressed in a black sparkly blazer suit, she accessorized with an orthopaedic boot adorned in silver rhinestones. Amy walked with crutches but later switched to a wheelchair for the rest of the night.

Heartbreaking News

Earlier this week, Amy shared the "heartbreaking" news that she will no longer be able to appear in the remaining episodes of the show due to her fractured foot. She expressed her disappointment and said, "This is what has kept me going the past few months." Despite this setback, Amy has made several appearances on the latest series and has been an inspiration to many.

Brave and Determined

Amy's journey has been filled with challenges. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and underwent a mastectomy in July. She later discovered that the cancer had spread, leading to a course of chemotherapy. On November 9, 2023, she celebrated completing all eight rounds of chemotherapy.

Amy's Unforgettable Surprise

In October, Amy surprised fans when she made a stunning entrance on the show wearing a sparkly gown. She decided to go bald and ditch her wig just moments before her surprise appearance on the BBC show. Her courage and determination have been an inspiration to many.

Despite her health setbacks, Amy Dowden continues to shine and inspire others with her resilience and positive attitude. Her strength and determination are a testament to her spirit and will surely be missed on the dancefloor.
