STRICTLY star Amy Dowden revealed she was at the hospital for scans - two years after being diagnosed with breast cancer
The professional dancer, 34, revealed she had cancer in May 2023, before going into remission a year later.
Amy, who joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, revealed she was at the hospital to have scans to make sure her cancer hasn't returned.
Sharing the moment, the dancer posted a picture of herself in a medical gown.
In the picture she can be seen crossing her fingers, as she indicts she hopes for good results.
Amy wrote over the top of the picture: "Scan 1 done. now for my MRI."
CANCER DIAGNOSIS
Amy was told by doctors that she had aggressive stage three breast cancer in May 2023.
The diagnosis came after she married her pro dance partner Ben Jones in 2022.
Speaking in her BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Cancer And Me, she said: “At the beginning of 2023 I felt like everything I’d ever hoped for was falling into place.
“Ben and I got married, I was teaching at the dance school, I was going to be back on Strictly and all of a sudden my everyday life changed.
“To be 32 with breast cancer, you’re thinking, ‘This doesn’t look good — the outlook doesn’t look good’.
“The first time I felt the lump in my breast was the day before we went on honeymoon,
“I just knew, I felt sick to my stomach.
“I saw the doctor, and he told me they’d found something. I said, ‘Is it cancer?’ and he said, ‘Yes’.
“I think for me, I thought I was safe until my 50s when they start doing my mammograms. I didn’t think it would ever affect me.”
However, Amy thrilled fans when she revealed she was cancer free in February 2024.
STRICTLY RETURN
Last year, Amy delighted fan when she returned to the Strictly dancefloor.
She was partnered with JLS star, JB Gill.
Sadly, just weeks into the show Amy had to pull out of the competition after she was rushed to hospital.
The emotional star told ITV's Lorraine at the time: "I am going to do my best not to cry," yet tears filled her eyes as she said: "I am gutted it's had to end this way.
"I feel I have let JB down."
Fans will be thrilled to know that Amy will be back on Strictly when the show returns this autumn.
