Amy Dowden update

[Kate!]

Strictly Pro Amy who was diagnosed with cancer and thus won't be taking part in this year's shows has had all her hair shaved off.

She still looks beautiful, sorry I can't post a pic.

God bless her and her husband Ben.

Such a beautiful and inspiring young lady. :love:

[Mystic Mock]

Hopefully she will pull through.

She should be allowed to dance one last dance on this years show. :sad:

One of my best friends is going through the same battle at the moment and lost all her hair. Hopefully Amy will be strong enough to win this battle and be back dancing soon :love:

The hair will grow back. It's a side effect of the chemo.

was a lovely interview last night on ITT


nice to know Bobby & Dianne, Nigel & Katya facetime her after a day of chemo, to lift her spirits with some updates from the training room

Thank you Arista. Yes unfortunately Amy won't be able to return this series :bawling: but I'm quite sure she'll be in the audience cheering JB and Lauren on. God bless her.

[Nicky91]

thankfully

Amy needs to fully recover before even thinking of dancing again



also learn to stay home and have some well deserved rest instead of being there in the studio



think this is exactly why they kept Lauren as a backup, because they knew this was very likely gonna happen
