Amy Dowden was diagnosed with ******* in April 2023

Amy Dowden has said her return to Strictly Come Dancing was thrown into doubt after another ******* scare.

The 34-year-old professional dancer, who was twice diagnosed with ******* last year, was rushed back to hospital for further tests as doctors were concerned about abnormalities in her ******* after a check-up.

She said she was “crushed” and had sleepless nights waiting for the news.

But when getting the all-clear from her consultant, Amy told him “we haven’t had good news much, so thank you.”

, which documented her journey from initial diagnosis to her Strictly return this autumn.

“It was a scare, such a worrying time,” Amy said.

“I’ll never forget them calling me to say we’re sorry but we’ve seen something we don’t like the look of.

Amy she began feeling ***** after getting her second round of a chemo ***** nicknamed “red ******”

She had just danced in front of an audience for the first time in a year when the results of her annual MRI and mammogram put her “back on hold”.

Tests revealed widespread calcium deposits in one of her breasts and doctors were worried it could be the “precursor to invasive ******* *******”.

“We’re so devastated for Amy again,” her dad Richard told the documentary.

“It’s another *****, he added. “For us, it has taken quite a toll. I just wish I could have it all for her.”

Amy, is from Caerphilly, told the documentary the latest scare made her “anxious” and “brought back all of the memories” of what she went through the year before.

“It felt crushing, I felt ***** to my core and so many sleepless nights worried,” she added.

Amy has been in training with fellow professional dancer Dianne Buswell ahead of this autumn’s series of Strictly Come Dancing

But the further tests proved the abnormalities were benign changes and she admitted to being “so relieved it was unreal”.

The all-clear has given a now excited Amy to focus fully on her return to Strictly, the BBC’s flagship Saturday night TV show which has

Two of Strictly’s professional dancers – Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima – left the show amid allegations about their behaviour.

Pernice has denied any wrongdoing while Di Prima’s spokesman confirmed the star kicked celebrity partner Zara McDermott once during rehearsals last year.

Amy welcomed documentary cameras into all areas of her ******* treatment

But Amy, who joined Strictly in 2017, said returning to famous dancefloor was one of the biggest motivations of getting through her ******* ordeal.

“I’m a proper family girl, I wouldn’t have been itching to get through my ******* journey to get back on Strictly if it wasn’t a show made up of pure love, joy and happiness,” she said.

“For me, it’s my happy place. My heart is so happy to be back.

“The support I had last year from the show was incredible, producers ringing me every single week to make me feel like part of the team because they knew I needed it.

“And when I was on the oncology unit last year, everyone was talking about Strictly – the nation loves it and it gives people something to look forward to. I felt so proud I’m part of that show.”

Amy said Strictly saved her life, because a ******* ******* charity walk with Giovanna Fletcher, the wife of her dance partner McFly singer Tom Fletcher in 2021, prompted her to check her own breasts.

“To be back on the dancefloor will be super magical. It’s the best show in the world and I pinch myself every day that I’m part of it.”
